Question...If you have to win more to get noticed...It kind of throws that individual play out the window..Don't you think? There are no strong players on mediocre teams? Should'nt they be evaluating talent and hard work? Sounds like they are just watching the stronger games and drawing from those teams..Players are going to be more effective if they have talent around them..How do you notice the player that does not get that same support from their teammates..Are they drawing players based on how their team does? I wonder how many players got held over from teams that did not win a game..



there are strong players on all teams no matter of wins and loses.what you stated above is the conflict between being a team player and trying to stand out as an individual to be selected to the region pool.
from all odp sites i have read they state that odp is about identifying a pool of PLAYERS from which the region and national teams will be selected.
