    Default Are they going to have a Canadian Championship next year

    Will TFC, Impact and Whitecaps be competing for a Canadian Championship next year even though it will not be leading into CONCACAF Champions League.

    With CONCACAF Champions League being on a two year cycle, which means a tournement for the three Canadian teams will strictly be for national bragging rights in 2009.

    I find it interesting that TFC is charging season ticket holders for a CONCACAF Champions league preliminary match up even though from I grasp will not be taking place.

    I guess I got confused by the fact that the 2009 World Club Cup is being played in December, which means that the 2009-10 Concacaf Champions League will already be in process.

    the winner of the canadian championship next season will represent Canada in the 2009-10 concacaf champions league. This years concacaf
    champions league winner will go to the world club championnship in December 09. So nexts season Canada cup is not for bragging rights, we will have ccl play next season with TFC involved..lets hope

    I'm just getting my head around it too I really hope we are involved next season. Montreal has certainly set a great benchmark for Canadian clubs.

    CONCACAF Champs League is every year not every 2 years. So CC is still on for every year.

    There's no 2-year cycle for the CONCACAF Champions League as far as I'm aware, but I think you mean the 2-year format of the Voyageurs Cup.

    Basically Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are gonna play in the NCC/Voyageurs Cup in its current format until 2010. After that, they may decide to expand the competition to include amateur and/or semi-pro clubs. They might also drop the competition altogether as well, but I don't see that happening.

    I agree. He should sell them, and put all of the money towards his legal defense fund, when Royal Bank sues him into oblivion.

    Maybe include a 4th team eventually... like the CSL champ or a CSL all-star team?

    Hold on. If the Club cup is every year, the Champions League is every year, shouldn't the V cup be every year? How will the CCL entry be decided?

    Isn't the World Club Cup always played between the winner of UEFA CL and the CONMEBOL (South America) club tourney champ anyways?

    he said the "two-year format" of the V Cup.. not the two year cycle.
    the V Cup is on every year. but the format might change after the second year of the V Cup.

    the confusion is that the runs for each Club World Cub overlap with the start of a new Concacaf champions league.

    So, what if the CONCACAF winner is in the Club World Cup... and they also qualify for the next Champions League... how do they manage to do both at the same time?

    I'm sure this is less confusing than this thread is making it out to be.

    I'd still want the CC even without qualification to the CCL. I've always felt playing in the CCL would destroy our season, because we just don;t have the squad for it, especially with the internationals problem we have to boot. Look what happened to DC this season, and NER for that matter. So to play (and WIN) CC without having the millstone of CCL to go with ti would be awesome.

    And before anyone says it, do you really think MLSE will drop any extra revenue we get from CCL on us? I don't.

    i mean in a theoretical sense... they overlap.

    some people seem confused by the fact that the V Cup begins again while theoretically the final stage of the process (Club World Cup) hasn't completed yet. So if Montreal wins CONCACAF, they start playing a new V Cup and (if they are lucky) a new CONCACAF run even though their Club World Cup entry is still in place from the previous year, for the winter.

    WTF. I thought this was the goal all along! Canada/V cup every summer to find a competitior for the Champions leage every year to find out who represents CONCACAF in the next World club cup! If this is not the case then we're talking about playing Chivas or America instead of Man United or Boca. Big difference! Let's sort this out!

    Just to clear this up for people.....

    There is no "two year format" or "two-year cycle."

    The competition starts in one year, and ends in the next. That's why they call it the 2009-2010 edition of the event. Same as this year. The prelims were all in 2008. The round robin is in 2009.

    Exactly. The current format for the Canadian Championship is going to last until 2010. We're still gonna play it every year. It's just that after 2010 there may be a new format - like maybe one with more teams included.

    The competition RUNS over two years because of something we like to call 'winter' in the middle. It still takes place every year, it'll end in the summer I'm assuming and start up again later in the summer. It just seemed to start so early for us because we had to play the Canadian Championship and lost. The UEFA Champions League works the same way, it runs year-round pretty much. Pretty much as soon as the final happens the early rounds of qualifying in the next year's edition are starting up again.

    Nope, the club Champions from UEFA, CONMEBOL, the CAF, CONCACAF, the AFC the OFC. It's just that it is always the European and South American champions that meet in the Championship game. The likes of Zamalek and Al-Ittihad have yet to be able to knock off teams from Europe or South America yet.
