I may have this wrong, but the way I understand it is that 1 "professional" team (Montreal, Halifax, York, Forgery, Ottawa) will be pulled from the Eastern Pot and added to the Western Pot, which is made up of the mighty Cavalry, Pacific, Vancouver FC & Valour plus the BC League1 winners Rovers . Then both Ontario & Quebec League1 winners (considered "semi-professional") would go into the Eastern pot.
Also, the article mentions this:
Venue Availability
"Halifax Wanderers, Valour FC, Cavalry FC and Vancouver FC would not be able to host in the preliminary round of Canadian Championship play because of stadium availability and weather considerations."
What happens if Cavalry are drawn against Valour, Vancouver FC or Halifax? Wouldn't be the CPL way to try to answer this obvious question ahead of the draw now, would it?!
Redraw? Clarke Stadium neutral site game?? Completely "random" draw that results in Cavalry playing at Tim Hortons Field???
