cht,
Maybe they do play what one could consider classic-level teams up one level higher at challenge. I don't understand the exact difference between the two cups (or leagues).
In North Carolina, state premier and R3PL teams must play in the State Cup. 1st and 2nd Division Classic teams have the option of playing in the State Cup. Most play in the Presidents Cup but a handful of 1st Division teams that want a real challenge will enter the State Cup.
As for league play, there is promotion/relegation, where in South Carolina you can sign up and play where you want.
How do the cups work in South Carolina?
