PROS:
It's exciting to travel across the state (Educational as well)
You get to play teams that you don't normally ever get a chance to play
There's even more incentive to get a #1 seed
You get a REAL home-field advantage
CONS:
It's expensive to travel that far
Possibility of kids missing school
It's difficult for parents/fans to travel that far
It's very difficult to find overnight lodgin in the Western part of the state right now.

I think they should switch regions every year. Divide County has put on around 4000 miles in 2 years to away games and that is just for regular season games. I think playoff teams could do it also. DC had to deal with it. Everyone else can also. I agree with all the pros and we have dealt with all the cons. Playoff games are in afternoon so can get home no problem. Don't need to stay overnight.

It's not the getting home that's the problem. It's the getting there to play the game. What you are suggesting is that teams get up as early as 5 in the morning to ride 6+ hours on a bus to come stumbling out around noon to play a game at 2:00. I'm sure that team will be ready to play.

Was talking about 9-man football not baseball.

Well for the past two years we have had to hear about how divide county travels so far, they could have opted up and played 11 man, that would have cut down their travel a lot.

Probably would have opted up if we had been given that opportunity. But they changed regions on us about a week before they finalized the the 2 year program. We are now back in the north so you won't have to endure the pain of listening to travel talk anymore.
