Depending on your league size, 2-4 teams typically from each season. And assuming your league paid the sanction fee to the state.

if you finished top 8 in B last year, you have to move A. But if you think your team has talent, why wouldnt you want to join A

We want to play the best in our divisions at States. So, join a league and earn your way in. The quality of teams will be a joke if anyone could just pay their way in!!!!!!
hmmm

subject: re: Qualifications

you would think that we would want as many teams as we can get into the b league because if people see that its real compition out there they will try to come back better the next year

There really is no "quality of teams" in the B division. Not to say teams are weak, but essential everybody in B are the teams that don`t want to sign up for A.

yes, anybody can join the b league tournament. Honestly I think most b league teams can give alot of a league teams a run for their money. but having more an A and B league brings more teams. I think if you place top two in any division you should go to A. except bigger leagues like fairfax and beach are that have like an A,B, and C division. Anybody can beat beat on any given day. But its the squads that repeatedly find ways to win that make the elite
bunch.
Yep

you win a bunch, you might as well play A. Nothing wrong with being able to win B, but you know your team best if you win A

Teams, if permitted by their League Commissioners, may play in either Tournament (A or B) with a few VFFA exceptions. Last year`s A Champ gets a return birth, but it is to the A Tourney. And last years B Champ gets a return birth as well, but it is to the A Tourney. Finally, the final 8 from last year`s B must move up to A (should they so qualify for the States in their league this year). They may then drop back to B the following year, unless they again make the final 8.

Also, there were 29 Teams in A last year and the team that won played 4 games over the weekend. But, in the B Tourney there were 40 teams and the team that won had to play 6 games! - RCJ
so?

so even if you are not in the top 4 of your league you can still join the B league tournament?

i belive you have to recieve a bid to join

subject: re: Qualifications

are you sure i thought anybody could join b and then you have to have a bid to join A. It just makes sense to let anybody join b then they can get a taste of how flag really is and you are gaining more of a following for our league

subject: re: Qualifications

yeah, but the state tournament is the best of the best for each division. Not a place where you try to learn the game. You join a league for that purpose. If you are good enough, you get a bid. That bid is your ticket!

subject: re: Qualifications

well what about if your league joins its A and B league does that mean that they can give a bid to 4 A`s and 4 B`s
Simple

subject: re: Qualifications

ask your league comish. They will explain bid process. And couldnt agree more, dont want just any team joining either division to see how it is
IMO

subject: re: Qualifications

there are some casual teams. That might like playing in B states just to play against a different squad for once. As most people can attest to. It can game lame playing the same 7 or 8 teams every season.

I dont see an issue with some teams wanting to play, just to play at the B level. Obviously the teams tryin to win B don`t think they`re good enough to have a chance in A.
agreed

subject: re: Qualifications

I feel if you want to play B anybody should be allowed to join and then you have to earn a bid to be in the A league. hell were only helping ourselves by allowing more people to play

I have played in the A and B for many years since the 90`s and still playing now.Team`s were better back then in the A then now.I hear people talk about B isn`t nothing well truth be told it`s only maybe a good 6 Teams in the A.The rest of the A are just teams getting beat every year to those same old 6 teams.lol.It seem`s like the B league is getting harder cause you don`t know who`s coming out that bracket and you have to play more games.But!!!! I love the A I love playing those same old 6 talking ****t teams it`s nothing like it.But really stop putting down B league cause half of the people doing the talking isn`t even playing on those top 6teams in the A.Y`all just B teams also that are playing in the A to make y`all feel big time.lol.lol. GO BACK DOWN!! Good luck to all!!
