>>[soccersmylife] Just like SCYSA should promote other tournaments in the State and not just the CESA tournament at the end of May<<
Ballentine: "Andrew, Pearse...this is Steve again. Look, we've been thinking about it and we want to continue promoting the College Showcase tournament you hold."
Tormey/Hyslop: "Steve, why don't you give some other clubs a chance. We actually feel guilty about this -- we don't do any work, we charge you a huge amount of money, and then we sit back and rake in all of the dollars from this massive enterprise."
Ballentine: "Guys...we don't need any other clubs; we love CESA and we're denying any and all requests to help any other club do anything in this regard."
----------------------------------------
Once again, an alternative scenario.
Tormey/Hyslop: Steve, once again we'd like to invite your ODP teams to our College Showcase tournament in May. We'll issue open invitations to other teams in South Carolina and we'll invite Georgia and other state's ODP teams. Oh...and we won't make a dime off of your ODP teams participating.
Ballentine: I don't know...other clubs might get angry again.
Tormey/Hyslop: Which other clubs?
Ballentine: Well...let's say a club called ABC might get mad.
Tormey/Hyslop: Did ABC come to you guys and offer to try to drive your ODP enrollment higher by hosting an ODP night for all of the surrounding clubs?"
Ballentine: Well...no...
Tormey/Hyslop: Does ABC have an open-enrollment CAP program and older teams in training in the spring?
Ballentine: Well...no...
Tormey/Hyslop: Does ABC even have a College Showcase event?
Ballentine: Well...no....
Tormey/Hyslop: Then why would they be mad?
Ballentine: I just don't want to have to read another 100-page legal complaint. But...okay...we'll do it.
