Really, that's what is about? Try reading the eligibility rules. https://worldseriesofyouthlacrosse.com/rules/
The augmentation of teams by adding players from upper age groups like they do in NY and the formation of WSYL specific teams is clearly walking in a dark gray area. It will make for better 7th grade lacrosse but it is not what it is about. Not a complaint, an observation. Or is that allowed (db)?[/quote]

That's not what it should be about, but that is what it will be about. It'll be an All LI team plus others in the finals hopefully vs a MD team. Like the other poster said, 100 miles is the rule. Long Island has a greater population than the state of MD. Add in the majority of Conn, most of NJ, NYC and north all being within 100 miles and you have the super team that the Express want.
