This was rumored back about 5-6 mths ago and I heard again this weekend that it's happening.
Any truth to the madness? Will some of the top Renfro kids merge w/ this team?

I had heard the same thing. Who has the official line on that?

I heard from a very reliable source that the entire Revolution club was folding into FCD effective with next year's season and they would be the new FCD South division. Whether kids would move between teams, I guess would remain tobe seen.

I also heard from a less reliable source that there were a couple of teams not happy with that (prefered being part of a smaller club) and that they were going to take the whole team to a smaller club or become independent.

Are the majority of players on 98 with FCD decision or other? Who has the higher percentage of kids to keep bye in 98 - FCD or "independent"?

futbolesvida - the 75% rule would kick in. 75% of the team would have to sign up for the independent team in order to keep the bye. If not the bye stays with the club

I heard they have already let Burciaga go. Apparently he was not at the last game vs. Solar. Will be interesting to see if he tries to keep the team and go independent or to another club. While Burciaga is still on the Rev website and listed as the coach of the 98B, gotsoccer shows Oancea as the coach. Gotsoccer could have been that way all along though....I honestly don't know.

I'm hearing the 98 team will be moving up north. So I would assume about 5-6 players staying from the Revs, 2-3 coming from Renfro, maybe a few old ex-FCD'ers from Diego and the rests coming from elsewhere. The new Frankenstein team should be better then the Revs team from this year.

The Revolution Club is moving to FC Dallas. The 98 boys will continue to train in the South. The team will be coached by Clementin Oancea. 214-868-1794.
It will be official by May 1st.

Greenhill!

will all of the practices be at greenhill now or still just 1?

This is confusing....
So if 75% of Revs boys do not stay, FCD/Revs would lose their D1 bye.
If that happened, where would the FCD/Revs team play? D2?

The bye stays with the club unless 75% of the boys were to leave together then they would keep the bye as a team. Most boys are scattered and Rev still has 7 from the original roster.
So the bye stays with the team and club.

What happened to this move? Is it still pending?

How many players left for Pumas?

I heard it left less than 75% of Revo for the move...anyone have more detail?

See earlier post:

This is correct-The bye stays with the club unless 75% of the boys were to leave together then they would keep the bye as a team.

This just happened with the D1 FWFC 99 team leaving to become the TITANs, and they took the D1 BYE with them.

WOW...I need to go back and re-read the bye rule...thought 75% had to stay with the move to the club....not have 5 stay and move and keep the bye...25% can stay if the others scatter and the club can populate with parents of players with more money than sense.

yep the default is the bye stays with the club unless 75% leave the club. The club will just become part of FCD. So don't hate the player, hate the game.

Bottom of page 11 top of 12 (revised 8/2010) Found in rules for Classic.

As set forth above, in the typical setting, invitations to submit an application to participate in the Classic League for the upcoming soccer year (based on a team’s prior year’s competitive performance) will be extended to the club for which that team played (and not the team itself). Provided, however, if 75% of the players on the roster3 of the team upon whose competitive performance the invitation to apply for a Bye Position was extended return to such team the following year, and such team will then be playing for a new club (including a one team club), then the invitation previously extended to the former club will follow such team to its new club (that is, the invitation will be conditionally “transferred” to the new club).

What is probably more relevant here is part C. Towards the middle of Part C it states:

......it is highly unlikely that the Classic League will permit the transfer of an invitation in a circustance where less than 100% of the teams currently playing for a given club merge (or claim to have merged) with another club (to whom it wishes to see the invitation transferred). IN THE EVENT THAT A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN ANY INTERESTED PARTIES (INCLUDING CLUBS, TEAMS, PLAYERS, PARENTS OR OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES AS TO THE VALIDITY OF AN INVITATION (INCLUDING THE IDENTITY OF THE CLUB TO WHOM AN INVITATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED), THE CLASSIC LEAGUE SHALL HAVE THE SOLE RIGHT TO DETERMINE SUCH DISPUTE FINALLY AND CONCLUSIVELY IN THE UNFETTERED EXERCISE OF ITS DISCRETION.

There were several teams that did not go over to FCD. At least one went to DT and another went independent. So right off the bat less that 100% of the teams merged with the new club.

There were also several "interested parties" that would have disputed the bye.

In order to avoid any conflict, they can play under the old club name this year. By next year, they will have the required 75% to move the team to the new club and all the "interested parties" will be gone and everything will be settled.

You can put this one to rest.....

I think it has been put to bed by most everyone except a few. At the end of a season you earn a bye or invitation to field at team for the club. It belongs to the club unless you can manage to keep 75% and take the team elsewhere. Just as a brilliant idea or product made at work becomes the property of the employer ie Bratz Dolls.
