WDDOA FALL 2024 PRE-QUALIFIED TEAM LIST NOW AVAILABLE
THE WDDOA FALL 2024 U12-U19 PRE-QUALIFIED LIST IS NOW AVAILABLE.
WDDOA is committed to providing a league structure through a promotion/relegation system that will place teams in the appropriate level of play, in order to promote the highest level of player development.
WDDOA has developed a tiered approach to bring group sizes and competition levels back into balance. Looking ahead, the focus will continue to be on standardizing bracket numbers for the 2024-2025 seasonal year and beyond, which will enable us to work towards providing an equal number of competitive games to all teams.
What does this look like for your team? Promotion/Relegation will be achieved in a more upward motion: no more than 2 teams relegated to a lower flight, but more than 2 teams will possibly promote in order to even out the brackets and create parity in the number of games among the teams in the same group.
Seeding: Teams were seeded into the WDDOA Fall 2024 Pre-Qualified List based on Spring 2024 finish.
Promotion/Relegation is achieved in a "Two-Up/2-Down" manner in the final overall standings prior to teams being moved in order into the Prequalified List starting from the top Level of Play.
Should you have any questions about the seeding on this list, please have YOUR CLUB DOC contact WDDOA for clarification.
WDDOA Pre-Qualified List Usage Guide and FAQ
This 2-page document will help you better understand the WDDOA Promotion/Relegation system as well as how we produce the Pre-Qualified List
Core Requirement: The requirement of >50% will be calculated from the qualifying roster; Fall 2023 for Frontier / SCL teams that qualified during the Fall season and Final Spring 2024 Roster for all other teams participating in a WDDOA flight. However, it will be a "club" core requirement rather than a "team" core requirement. This means that core will be met by filling the teams with >50% of players who were registered with the club (rostered to a USYS team) for the 2023-2024 seasonal year.
The STYSA Promotion Relegation Rules have changed!
For original document published by the State, click HERE. Section 3.5 and 3.6 address National League Frontier Conference Qualification and League Promotion/Relegation.
You will notice that U18 and U19 Frontier Conference prequalified teams are listed differently. Starting Fall 2024, USYS will be combining the U18/U19 age groups. STYSA filled the 4 spots in boys and girls as follows:
| FRONTIER U18/U19 Combined Flight Structure | |
| 23/24 Frontier U18 #1 | Will Be 24/25 U19 Age Group |
| 23/24 Frontier U17 #1 | Will Be 24/25 U18 Age Group |
| 23/24 SCL U18 #1 | Will Be 24/25 U19 Age Group |
| 23/24 SCL U17 #1 | Will Be 24/25 U18 Age Group |

*For U11 Prime or U11 Challenger ONLY:
Currently, U11 Prime and U11 Challenger Flights play a FULL Seasonal Year Model (Scheduled: Sept-April).
However, we are soliciting input from DOCs to determine whether incoming teams (currently identified) as U11 Prime or U11 Challenger would prefer to be scheduled/play
Set 1 (Scheduled: Fall Sept-Dec) & Set 2 (Scheduled: Spring Feb-April).
Based on the results of the survey, the format of play may be changed this year for U11 Prime, U11 Challenger, or both.
