All I know is I think suburbs of Vancouver like Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond and even North Van should be listed separately. Reason being that if you want a more local league then all those would have teams. What I'm unsure of however, is whether distinct neighbourhoods like say Kits of Vancouver should be listed separately. Part of me wants to say yes because like with the Australian Football League there are 8 or so teams in Melbourne alone, just from different neighbourhoods. I could easily see someone wanting to do something like that too.

Anyway, I don't see a problem with listing suburbs or even neighbourhoods (it doesn't hurt anything does it?), but the bigger question is should Vancouver be listed with its population that includes all its suburbs (the GVRD) which makes it a fairly populated city or should it just be the city proper? It'd depend on what the league creator wants, but OOTP should have a default of some sort. I lean more to using the larger #, but I don't have a real strong reason for that. I guess I just suppose we should assume that most people won't be making more localized leagues, that they'll be more doing national or international leagues.
