Title: Points/Varsity Game Requirement
Post by: JDM on February 24, 2016, 12:15:36 PM

Is there no longer a varsity game requirement to move up in division? I've been advised that there isn't any longer.

If this is correct, when and why was the prerequisite removed after being in place for so many years?

I've attached a screen shot from the TASO website I pulled several years ago.

The change was made around 2012 to remove the varsity game requirement (40 for Div 2 and 75 for Div 1). I thought the previous policy was sound. I understand why others did not but to me, that was chapter issues that needed to be dealt with directly there and not via a state-wide change. To those that disagree -- no need to argue; its a Ford/Chevy (actually, I'm a Japanese-maker guy) thing. Nothing wrong with either POV.

I don't think we have a lot of DIIs that don't belong there, so the issue is largely moot.
