Michael, it doesn't really matter and I'm not really trying to split hairs, suffice it to say that I do know when the ultimate decisions for commitment were announced by these players.

B'rent,

If you are going to draw comparisons with numbers, at least compare apples to apples. Bridge's numbers are due to the construct of the club. Heck, if you really want to compare apples to apples as far as commitments go, it's really only the graduating seniors that matter, so the total club population is not really appropriate at all. It's really hard to do an accurate comparison when you've only been involved with one club. Having been a part, one more so than the other, of the two clubs that are being actively compared, I can tell you, more is done at CESA to "promote" the players.
