looking thru various district sites, it seems all districts allow all their teams to participate( be it play in/play down games) then move to a double elmination bracket once they get to 8 teams, with the exception being District 10. Anyone know why this might be? or have any insight on this? Just curious

The question being why D10 doesn't or why others do?
Why others do-Probably has something to do with the number of teams in each district, something to do with rewarding the #1 seed, something to do with giving everyone a chance I guess. Or some combo of all of the above.
Why D10 doesn't-D10's reasoning??? No clue.

If everybody qualifies for the District tournament why play the league, you earn your spot by doing well in your league. This year for their larger leagues, I noticed 12 teams qualified with a 4 game play down with the top 4 teams seeded in. All Squirt and Girls 10U teams qualify for the tournament. I noticed they also removed the automatic spot for to the Regions for the league champion. All region seeds come from the District tournament. That way all games are important.
