[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is at least one kid on that 8th grade D1 Mclean team who lives in Fairfax City but they do get their two zip code exceptions. The team was stacked by this guy who coached Nova 94 for years so he traded out less talented players from last year as he found new ones--two of their all league players this season were new to the team.

It is a little suspect that they have won their games so easily against all the other D1 teams.

Maybe the league needs to get rid of the exceptions as it makes it too easy to build these unbeatable super teams.

Kudos to the "regular" teams willing to play in 7th and 8th grade boys D1-they know they will have no chance of winning some of their games, whereas if they dropped to D2 they would have easy Ws most of the season and a chance at the trophy.[/quote]
The zip code thing really doesn’t make it fair.  McLean can take kids from McLean, Great Falls, Falls Church, and Vienna.  A team like Herndon is limited to only 2 zip codes in Herndon.  Larger youth clubs have a larger talent pool to choose from.  I think a way to make it more fair is to create teams based on the high schools they are zoned for.  Loudoun does it this way and they still let the youth clubs/rec leagues organize the teams.  If the youth clubs take kids zoned for multiple high schools, they over see multiple teams.[/quote]

BRYC has 11 zip codes plus two exceptions per team....[/quote]

Yeah I don't know all of the rules for each team but happen to know that there were teams in our league accused of zip code violations and then the commissioner looked into them and none of them were true.  People don't realize how many teams Falls Church or other zip codes are allowed to play for and assume cheating.  It's kind of annoying.  I will also say that in the younger grades that for the most part the AAU teams split up for county and it makes it really fun as there are no real powerhouses.[/quote]
Yeah a Falls Church kid could play for Vienna, McLean, Falls Church, Turnpike, FPC, James Lee, and probably more.  [/quote]

What zip code is zoned for all those different places? Usually each zip code just has 2 or maybe 3 choices.[/quote]

Here's the full list. PP was exaggerating, but 22182 can play for McLean, Vienna, Great Falls, or Reston. 22043 has McLean, Vienna and Falls Church.
