If you check USYSA site you will se e that particpants in the league are required to attend all scheduled events...PLUS... they are required to particpate in the state cups. This is where the problemi came in... JUNE 09 when the schedule was released vs SCYSA seasonal schedule of Jan 09.

The USYSA penalizes non participating teams with expulsion from the league. One assumes that USYSA ASSUMED ( alot assumptions here) that all states annoint their champions in the May time frame, which Georgia and NC do
