I don't get the whole geography thing, there's not home fields? Why can't Pride play NEMS at Whitemarsh Park in Bowie? or Western Regional?
I also don't get why you'd feel the need to placate to the VA teams. Losing Pride and Stars would not be ideal but those teams playing in VA only NGLL would be not ideal for them.
Like everything in club lax, $$$ is the reason.
Because that is revenue that the NGLL MD organizers would lose. You could very easily get a 6-7 team VA division with 2 stars teams, 3-4 Pride teams (including the old Cavalier team), YJMA, CavLax and maybe a couple more. In fact, it would pretty much guarantee Pride teams spots at NGLL nationals as well giving them another elite level tourney.
