Little League Question

Given the controversy regarding Little League questions, I felt that I should do my part to help Little League umpires take over.

Seriously, I am writing an article for the paid part of the site and I need help with a Little League rule. Assume a huge Little League has over two hundred players in their 11-12 Majors division. My understanding is that they must divide the League in half and have two Majors divisions and two all-star teams. Is this correct? If so...

Question: Is it legal to stack one of the divisions with the best players in order to have a great all-star team? In other words, before the season, have the coaches select the 50-100 best players and put them all in one division.

since I was around little league, but I'm sure it hasn't changed too much.

Is it legal to stack teams - NO

Is it done? Obviously YES

That's why you will see the same teams making return trips to LLWS etc.,

But ought to be an interesting article.

Thanks
David
