But if they did, I *think* that the reason they weren't admitted is because, though they were capable of hosting a Girls HS State Championship in 2006 (there were multiple teams in the state), they didn't. <BR/><BR/>The rules governing how teams are selected is explained on the UPA website: http://www.upa.org/programs/youthdev/comp_guidelines#Regreq. <BR/><BR/>And the reasoning is explained at: http://www.upa.org/juniors/championships/EasternsandWesternsFAQ (questions 3 and 4)<BR/><BR/>-KyleKyle Weisbrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12968840595720794251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-88240096868529702882007-04-05T12:28:00.000-04:002007-04-05T12:28:00.000-04:00theoretical question: why does westerns have 11 te...theoretical question: why does westerns have 11 teams but easterns only has 8?<BR/><BR/>seems there are more easterns womens teams that are just starting - namely in pittsburgh and philly that were left out?<BR/><BR/>do the same constraints with state championships apply for the womens' side of things?<BR/><BR/>since by most accounts the womens leagues are younger than the open, do you think it would be a bad idea to relax these constraints a little to encourage more teams to get off the ground initially and perhaps be able to play more games against other womens teams?<BR/><BR/>just thoughts, seems unfortunate that teams struggle hard enough to get enough girls to play, form a team, compete in their local open leagues and cant get into one of the few high school exclusively girls tournaments in the country.<BR/><BR/>or perhaps this is all moot and those other teams didnt apply.<BR/><BR/>either way, id love to hear more discussion about the girls' side of things, more information the better because at the moment i am woefully undereducated.McCabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12789607187719002287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15060864.post-3919925159304546302007-04-04T13:03:00.000-04:002007-04-04T13:03:00.000-04:00Columbia High School is from both Maplewood/South ...Columbia High School is from both Maplewood/South Orange NJ.
