I know state was supposed to be in the western part of the state this year, so I am guessing with Kidder County was elected to host, they were still in the west. Probably weren't going to take it away from them after the region move. Yeah it is bad luck that the host team is coming out of the central again, and 7 teams are fighting for one spot. But I would have to say that I don't think a city would bid for a state tournament if they didn't think their team was good enough to make it without the automatic bid. Kidder made it last year out of the west, and return most of their team.
That's fine, but get rid of the host team requirement and let them earn it. If I'm the other teams in the Central, I'd be livid.

For instance, if Park River has players from Adams, Fordville, Endinburg, Hoople, etc. all of those are added in? Where as Thompson, Carrington, Hazen probably have all players from just those communities.

Also Nelson county has to be pushing enrollment numbers to be in class b because they include Dakota prairie, Lakota, Griggs county, Midkota and fringe from several other schools.

Their legion roster this year will have 11 players as all, 4 come back from college. If they didn't have that rule, Nelson County wouldn't have a team this year.
I agree, stability and the fact the athletic committee wanted to get class A to 24 teams was a big factor in why Park River is moving up.
Also doesn't Surrey pick up a few kids from surrounded schools? I heard Our Redeemers sent kids there to play? Maybe not.

They do pick up a couple from Our Redeemers, but that's for high school. In legion it's all about where they live, so if those ORCS kids live in surrey, they play for surrey.

That's wrong. Yes you play with the closest legion team to where you live, but your schools enrollment still follows that player. Meaning if a player lives in surrey, goes to Our Redeemers, Our Redeemer's enrollment is added to Surrey's total because that's where he goes to school. There is a specific spot when you register the players on your team for their high school and enrollment.

From what I understand, that's correct about Surrey claiming ORCS numbers. However, what I don't understand is this... The past few years I've noticed Surrey's legion team carrying kids from not just Surrey and ORCS, but Bishop Ryan and Minot High as well. "Technically," according to the rule book, wouldn't they be supposed to compete at the AA level? Not that I necessarily think they should, but if there are going to be rules, I think you should follow them when it comes to things like that. I don't think it to be fair to teams Surrey was competing against in the past who struggle to get kids to come out in those small towns.
