It seems that VA-DC schedules the regional qualifiers awfully early. Maryland does theirs in Dec/Jan. The later start seems like a better idea considering that school-based rookie teams usually start in mid-September, a few weeks after school starts. I am curious why Virginia's qualifiers run so early and wondering if it would be possible/desirable to run future qualifiers later in the years so teams get more time to practice? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE your settings, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list". -- VADCFLL administrative announcements are sent via VADCFLL-ANNOUNCEMENTS-L.
