I think it is interesting that, by my calculations, CESA and Columbia United field a combined 37% of the SC teams playing SCSCL and R3PL (30 of 82) but they have earned a combined 63% of the Final 4 berths (20 of 32).
It would also be interesting to see how many of those Final Four teams are R3PL teams and how many of those come from CESA and CUFC. I would suspect most all of them do.
How many other cases must you account for such as the Bridge 93 boys gold team that won the u15 challenge league but choose not to play in the fall state cup? Stands to reason if this team won the divison they would have stood a good chance of being in the final four. So bridge has 3out of 11 in the final four but...........
