Striker,

I'll tend to agree with some of your observations. MPSC is very strong, particularly on the girls side. However, Bridge FA is not a good thing for this upcoming season, but rather a good thing for the upcoming season and into the future.

Yes, the teams you cited are/were successful teams. The question is, are there other players in the area that could take these teams to a different level? If the answer to that is no, then as stated above, this team would remain together, and become a Bridge FA team. If the answer to that is yes, then Bridge FA provides an opportunity and structure to get these players together. Either way, Bridge FA provides a solution, without "diluting" the talent pool.
