Watch for more schools/teams to work the system next year. Actually teams have always done it, but with the wide berth of systems among the sections, the active motive is clear.
FIFY
The NCS is the only section that allows teams to hide in lower divisions. Now, people are crying about D-I. Really, what is the section supposed to do about it? Make DLS the only D-I school and put everyone else in D-II or lower?
Actually I've heard rumors about CCS schools scheduling in such a way for 2020 to get a lower playoff division for a quick run to a section title. It just so happens that the NCS system has been gamed for a while and probably the most egregiously pronounced system. Look at how many times DLS has been kicked out of leagues. And how many times CN vies to stay in D-4 citing they are just following NCS rules, etc.FIFY

Agree! Make DLS play for the Norcal Open spot, not automatically advance. This year Oak Ridge would be that victim. Then Central would be playing Serra. San Joaquin against Clayton, etc.FIFY

And that's my issue with all these people crying about ptivate schools and unfair advantages and claiming to be "Public School Champs". Look at the last 5-10 years of BVAL teams (especially Liberty teams the last couple years). Littered with transfers, players that live in other cities, using relatives, coaches, friends addresses, to be eligible to transfer and play football. Yet, they complain about private schools. It's essentially the same thing.FIFY

I wasn't really referring to the state level, more about the NCS individually. But, that said, I do agree that the Open regional should be brought back.
Central would be the one to play DLS. Oak Ridge would be playing Serra. The Grizzlies having to travel does not make the Trojans the higher seed.

I agree!... Would Luv to see the Open Regional Come Back and from Speaking with other DLS Fans at the game last week, DLS would welcome this!!!...
CVC Better make the most of their opportunity this year and get to State because based on the fact they won D2 this year, they will automatically be moved up to D1 Next year where they should be if they make the playoffs...
CVC is where my brother went so I am Pulling for them tonight!!!... One Interesting note about CVC, when my Brother played for them in the 90's, they Played Serra, and in that game My Brother got a sack against None other then the great Tom Brady...
That really wouldn’t be all that different than the way the regional playoffs are run. With DLS the Open team, and everyone else outside of NCS D1 still having a chance to be considered “State Champions” without having to face Sparty.
hmm, Folsom Rule..., NCS Rule, East Bay-Mountain Rule, Heck, why doesn't the NCS give DLS a season-long bye and pay for DLS to play all OFS powerhouses and then auto DLS as their Open representative. That way NCS could ensure their second best team has a shot at regionals.
