I agree with the last few players comments before this entry! Why is the schedule being changed less than week before the season opener due to a vote (what is rumored!) was open to only the A division teams! Being in this league for a while! Any changes were to be VOTED by ALL the coaches, not by the SELECTED few!

As for changing the format from the coaches meeting was WRONG and on top of that losing the Turf fields again after being told that fall is the time for Football and they should have priority for the use of the Turf fields! And spring is for Soccer and they have the Turf fields and the grass fields are for other sports! What is up with that?
After talking with approx. 8 other teams that have been in the league for a while, we have noticed that the quality of the game has been going downhill! The Referees are making BIG mistakes constantly in the games and some are favoring certain teams more than others every time they get on the field! There is NO TAKING sides in Football!

Seeing the League give in more now than ever when it comes to fighting for good fields! It has been happening for the last several years! For example, games at Greenbriar about 2 years ago, all the Turf fields were given up for the little league football and was told that we volunteered to give it up for a better chance later with Fairfax giving us a better fields! What happened?

Several teams have started to look to other leagues in the area now because the FEE is going up and we are getting crummy fields and always getting what is left over! The QUALITY of the game is going downhill and FEW “A” teams taking players from B and C teams to stack their team for States and Nationals!

And NOW WE combine “A” and “B” teams again this season at the last minute so “A” can stack 2 Divisions and no “B” teams can move forward because of some Greedy “A” teams or others high up what to line their pockets on the sacrifice of “B” teams wanting to have a chance to WIN too! Without having to compete against teams that have been stacking their team for years for a WIN every season or TOP 6 EVERY SEASON!!

Where is it FAIR for the rest that spends almost $1000 every season to see the TOP 6 teams always WIN! It is NOT FAIR for the rest of the 90% of the teams that PAY to PLAY and see rules changed because the rules can be changed anytime it makes fit for others!

If the RULES state that a “B” team WINS the playoffs they are supposed to move up to the “A: Division the next season! If that DID happen like it was supposed to! Then OUTCAST should be playing in “A” Division and it would keep all the brackets as before. There would be “A” and “B” Division of 10 teams each! What HAPPEN to that RULE?
Let’s be FAIR for ALL and NOT FOR a SELECTED FEW every season! You lose the FUN of PLAYING FOOTBALL like it should be PLAYED!

Bring back the “A” and “B” Division brackets and move the team from “B” that should be moved up to “A” and that should go for ALL TEAMS that WIN any PLAYOFF CHAMPIONSHIP!! They should move up based on a WIN!! That is a “C” playoff champion moves to the ”B” and “B” playoff champion moves to the “A”. And let’s go with the rules that have been set and any changes need to be brought forward to ALL COACHES for a VOTE!

We would like to see the LEAGUE back like it was when it was FAIR and players wanted to show up for games to PLAY a GAME of FOOTBALL and not worry losing to an “A” Division team before it gets started!

WE WANT TO PLAY SOME GOOOD OLD FOOTBALL!!

FXA could probably use you, you baby. Log in to post and why are you checking the message board at 5:21am.

Who cares you only get better by playing better teams. You will eventually learn that you rush 2 fast guys against the spread and not 1, BadBoyz have lots of tricks up their sleeves on the line, The Penetrators QB loves to pump fake downfield, Hollywood loves to make his eyes real big when he runs at you and scares you, Uniteds QB is shift as hell.

"Where is it FAIR for the rest that spends almost $1000 every season to see the TOP 6 teams always WIN" - its $860 a team divide by 12 people that are usually on a roster is about $72 dollars a person and 7 games is about $10 bucks a game. I dont mind playing flag football for $10 bucks an hour with refs and fields.

"Good old football" is played on grass. Tom/Shay do a great job running this league. You cant always expect the best fields or best times cause everything revolves around youth leagues.

"Playing football like it should be played" yes because in the NFL the bad teams only play bad teams.

"ALL COACHES for a VOTE" did you go the meeting? If you did I bet you would have logged in...

In no way is NTAC an "A" team but we don`t mind playing better teams. Gets your team a little recognition if you win or play them close.

I dont know what else to say because I am bored at work, but Tom/Shay bust their butts to make this league run and sometimes you have to be flexible when things don`t go your way.
