[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]always wondered why Ffx county caps at 11 when 14 games are needed to be eligible for post season?  Is it just cynical view that they don’t want to pay for officials so they make schools fork out for those tournaments to fill the gap?[/quote]14 games are not needed to be eligible for the postseason.  it was changed during some budget crises many moons ago (i believe for lacrosse only now), and the coaches have never banded together to get it changed.

for the record, it's not that restrictive and that may be why it has never changed.  mandated conference games are tiny (5?), so you get another 4 ooc games, and then 5 for 2 tournaments... and the "tournament" games can be played within 7 days before or after each... @ any location.  with singular games against anyone, if they chip in the $1-200 for the "tournament".  it's mostly just a pain in the ass for ffx schools.[/quote]

Some districts have 8 teams, therefore 7 district games and then 2 non-district games that are schedule for you.  That leaves only the tournaments for the other 5 games.  If a private school cannot play during the tournament timeline, or pulls out at the last minute like Prep did to Robinson last year, there is nothing a team can do.[/quote

Madison (also in Fairfax) over the past two seasons played Landon, Cheyenne Mountain, Severna Park, Broadneck and Atlee. Didn't win them all, but kudos for finding ways to play championship-caliber teams.[/quote]
