Fair play to all!

Promoting an atmosphere of good cheer, good sportsmanship, pomp, ceremony, transporting disabled seniors on Golf carts to-and-from the sideline and a determination to achieve equitable competition for all, especially the lower flights are a Celtic Cup priority. Equitable competition is everything. Providing Bronze and single A teams the same VIP attention and custom trophies as the highest flights make the accomplishments special.

Celtic Cup participants compete expressly to prepare for National Cup and State Open Cup, hence the 4 match tournament; however, to accommodate teams equitably within flights other than the top flight (St. Patrick), where “food chain laws of the Serengeti… apply” obliges Celtic Cup to reconsider issues of balanced competition with a new and unconventional approach, guaranteeing the integrity of lower flights….

 Celtic Cup 2003 January edition accommodates 37 flights with 470 teams. 50%, or more of participating teams compete in lower levels of competition. To ensure equity within flights minus one team, we have decided to keep said flights intact and as-is rather than allow Gold teams on waiting lists entry, potentially causing inequitable and lop-sided matches. Flights missing one team will proceed with a 1-0 victory for effected teams, guaranteeing the integrity of the flight.

Effected teams will still get their three match minimum guarantee and allow participants an equal chance at winning the Celtic Cup. Long shots winning the Celtic Cup under these conditions are a frequent occurrence.

“Druids” is the designated name used to indicate  “missing links” in brackets. Before St. Patrick’s arrival in 432 AD, Druids in Ireland prayed to various Gods, Leprechaun Cobblers and fellow Gaels for help in solving difficult missing link problems immediately and impossible ones forthwith, or else, woe-be-tide the parishioner’s wrath… hence the name.

Equitable competition is everything.

Fair play to all!
