Very close to the formation of team days. How long does an appeal take?

What's very likely is those two zip codes had barely enough players to make the cut off in previous years, and this past year, dipped below enough to lose those two zip codes. Going from 22 rec kids to 19 rec kids could cut the zip code off, for instance, depending on how many kids overall play Great Falls rec basketball. That's just the way the system is set up.

If you live in those two zip codes, you could also try out for McLean (22102) or Reston (20191). Those are in-boundary.

Great Falls is kind of remote, so it makes sense that they would only have a few zip codes. No one is traveling all the way out there for rec games they could play down the street.

The whole league is based on the concept that kids are playing for their areas/towns to replace an official middle school league. That's why its based on your local rec players.

Kind of a bummer for the kids who were in-zip code last yera but are now out of zip code! But each team gets two exceptions, and Great Falls seems to often have two teams per age group, so that's four exceptions total. They really shouldn't have that many kids coming from areas that don't serve their rec league.

Oh yes, but the most calculating kind of type A Division 1 coach already has his two zip code exceptions lined up, and doesn't want to have to use exceptions on kids who were regular players last year. No idea about the great falls coaches or what their season plans were, but losing two zip codes would throw many D1 coaches' plans out the window.

Now I am going to be invested in seeing whether GF coaches complain and get those zip codes back.

More important will be whether fcybl makes any effort to actually enforce these restrictions. Last few years (started in Covid but continued through last year) they have not - which resulted in some teams overtly exploiting that.. Used to be you had to collect AND submit proof of residence (SIS, utility bill) with your roster. They need to get back to that to avoid super/mini AAU teams.

They need to have them all up by Monday and it looks like some orgs didn't meet the deadline to submit.
