Manchester,
I don't at all disagree with what you are saying with respect to the club preparation paving the way for ODP. And after going back to look at the 92 pool list again, it does have more influence from the 92 teams than I initially remembered from reading late one night. Not at all meant to slight any group/team.
I also believe your correct in what you said about the bridge participation. However, I also know that some of the pool game selections for the younger players on the Boys side had Bridge players that also show up on the academy rosters, which will at some point render them ineligible for ODP.
