I suppose that is indeed one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that the Region III Premier League winner is the most proven "best team" in the Region in each age group......and but for its automatic bid to Regionals, they probably would have been there anyway as a State Champ and thus they could have knocked out one of the teams that did get in from their state. In any event, regardless of who earns a way to Regionals, each team has to prove itself and win once there! Good luck to everyone representing our SC Clubs! [Cool]
