General Feedback - Mixed Gender Ratio Changes
WAFC is exploring a policy update for potential implementation this Spring 2022 which addresses gender ratios and formats for mixed leagues and events. This policy would establish a 1-3-3 ratio for 7-vs-7 mixed events, to intentionally center non-binary, transgender, genderqueer, and intersex athletes on the field. This change would also effectively remove imbalanced gender ratios (like 5mm/2wm*) as a planned format for WAFC 7-on-7 mixed events. As of 2021, several WAFC mixed events included 5/2 ratios as part of the league format, including our Clique Leagues, Night Owl Leagues and Summer Corporate/Mixed Team Leagues.
Please use this form to share your comments, questions, concerns, and other feedback about this potential change!
Feedback from surveys and outreach efforts will be reviewed by WAFC's Board of Directors at our next meeting (Thursday, Feb 17) as final policy decisions are considered for Spring 2022 WAFC leagues and events.
