Ok? Y’all work for VHSL or something? So set on blaming the region and not VHSL.
No, at least for me, no official affiliation with the VHSL. You missed my point. The League, which is the 200+ member schools voted to allow the Regions autonomy to decide their regional champ by whatever method they desire. Which is why a few Regions have gone to a six team format.
I’m not disagreeing with you that this game, and others like it, might have been a mistake. I’m only pointing out that it’s 100% in the hands of each individual Region to set the rules, NOT the VHSL League office. The League office works for, and takes its marching orders from the 200+ member schools.
The League has been blamed for everything from poor officiating to lousy food at the concession stands. when in truth, 100% of what goes on is exclusively within the realm of the membership. The League office is there to carry out the rules and directions of the membership.
Think of it this way. Your local Commisioner of the Revenue and/or Treasure’s Office is where you go to pay your taxes and fees. Blaming them for your taxes or property assessment is not where you need to place the blame. They only do what they are told to do. Your Town Council, Board of Supervisors, or City Council make the rules. And guess who puts them in or out of office? Yep, the membership, which in this case is the voting public.
So, by all means, voice your dissatisfaction, but go after where the blame lies, your school, your District, and your Regional representatives.
