Dear UA: Why did you let girls from LI, who unquestionably live on LONG ISLAND, and do NOT attend schools in New England, try out for the New England team?
This is a clear violation of your stated eligibility rule as stated on the Under Armour Lacrosse website as follows: "You MUST live within the geographic region for the team you are trying out for..."
Clearly the girls on the NE team from LI did NOT live in the New England/Geographic region... and they did not make their own region's team.
If there is a different rule or interpretation of this rule which allowed these LI girls to tryout out for the New England team after not making the Long Island team, then please enlighten the lacrosse community because it is a question that deserves an answer.
This is setting a very bad precedent and takes away from the spirit of the tournament.
Did you send this letter or are you just complaining anonymously here? Because we can't do anytlhing about it and it doesn't seem everyone is all up in arms about this the way you are. I hope you sent it if you feel that strongly about it.
