CESA can have both ECNL and R3PLE teams using separate rosters once the non-ECNL team wins qualification through state cup (or maybe proves itself through major tournaments to apply for and obtain a non-automatic berth).

It would show some level of courtesy for CESA to definitively clear the air about whether or not it might try using a percentage of players to hold on to existing R3PLE spots, so that everyone can actually have solid information regarding anticipated costs and leagues upon which to make their decisions.
