To: forvac, it varies for year to year and also age and weight. Take the 10U 67# class from D4 this year. It is tough. I will say being from district 4 (small pool) that when we head east it makes us better because of the tougher competition. If the pool of kids is bigger the odds are that there will be better kids come out of that pool rather than a smaller pool. The more kids you have the better you have to be to rise to the top.

To: Iowastyle, I wasn't saying that the lenght of drive has anything to do with the fairness of making the rules. The length of drive goes back to the size of pool. Not a bad idea fo having the metro area have their own district. If you add a district how do you end up to state with jus 16 kids. I am sure this has all been thought out before and there is probably no way to do it and be totaly fair to all concerned.

All of this is just my opinion, each and everyone is entitled to their own.
