If I'm not mistaken, MPSC is hiring a second DOC. Discussions had included the current DOC. Embracing the concept provides the opportunity to restructure the operations, similar to bringing in a second DOC, without the additional expense.
The impact of the teams for Bridge FA will only be seen after tryouts and team formations, but the teams that have played together up to this point, have definitely been more competitive than the respective individual teams from last year.
Just as you state there are several reasons for MPSC not embracing the concept, there are several reasons for the Battery not fully embracing/sponsoring this effort.
