2008 Section Winners (Offseason Speculation)

[davey]

That would make almost no sense, because unless they applied before april 1, they would have to sit out their entire varsity senior season.

Why would they have to sit out. I am sure their parents live in the rochester school district and from what I have heard about the rule, as long as a parents residence is in the school district, a participant does not have to sit out a year. I may be wrong, but that is how I understand the new rule.

[SEMinnHockeyNut]

I may not fully understand the new rule, but I am pretty sure they would have to change residences since they have already attended Century.

Could be, I am not exactly sure how it works when you have public and private schools in the same town either and i tried to look it up and did not see any clarification on that

"Nut" has it right, you have to change residences, even if its across the street, not to incurr penalty.

Thanks Neut That clears it up for me.

OK, how about this one?

Player lives in District #1 but has been attending District #2 via OE.

He reads this forum religously( he is a Catholic after all) and is convinced by the posters that he should go back and play for his hometown , District #1, so that he can be called home grown. Its after April 1.

Where would he move to so he could do that?

Good question PB I think you found a loop hole..not suprising that you would..

He'd be hung for treason after a conviction by the "Bored" court
Actually I believe the answer is he would sit as it is still a transfer...I think

[packerboy]

I dont know for sure CNT but I think you are right.

Ya gotta love it.

A rule that is supposed to promote, indeed force, players to play for the old "home town" team actually prevents it.

[Ron_Burgundy]

Are we talking to Mr. Eddy himself?

David Eddy isn't the type of person who would come on here to hype himself up. Nor does he even need to do that.

Here's the rule: "A transfer student is one who discontinues enrollment at any high school, public or non public, located in a public school district attendance area and enrolls and attends classes at any other high school in Minnesota." So PB your example would make the kid a transfer student.

Then for a transfer student to be eligible "If the transfers family moves from one public school attendance area to another public school attendance area the student will be eligible in the new public school area or a non public school if the student transfers at the same time." So since the family didn't move, the kid would then be ineligible in his hometown for 1 year (assuming he played varisty at his OE school).

Ryan Knutson would have either had to apply for transfer prior to April 1 or his family would have to physically move from the Century attendance area to either the JM or Mayo attendance area to be eligible at Lourdes.

[Bub]

I believe playing Varsity at the old school has no bearing on the transfer's eligibility. Wouldn't even a Sophmore transfer who played Bantam the year before be ineligible?
