1976,

I don't know if you are honestly seeking information or busting on the Bridge, but your same argument can be made at MPSC. They have "Elite" teams that are not playing premier. Is that just for marketing also?



I think that is a bit silly too for MPSC to do that. I never said MPSC should calling their teams Elite if they are playing in the Challenge League. As far as I am concerned Challenge is challenge - period. Calling them Elite or Premier is a farse if they are not playing in the Premier League. I don't know why MPSC called those teams Elite, but can't say I agree with that either. But I believe that MPSC called their second teams in the same age group Classic. I think that makes it obvious to anyone looking that the teams titled Elite or Challenge will play in the challenge league and the teams labeled Classic will play in the classic league.

Bridge has chosen to name their teams Premier and Challenge. Since they can't play in the R3PL it is kinda hard to know what leagues either of these teams are playing in. For all we know they are going to play the Premier team in tournaments only. That is what SAA did years ago. My question was a simple question for clarification - it's not the cold war and I can't believe it is a guarded secret.

When Bridge made their announcment a month or so ago, they came to this board to do so. Can't have it both ways. Can't make announcments and talk about the changes in their program on a public board, and then not answer the questions asked.

It's not a difficult question and it should not be a big deal. I don't have a kid playing at their club so I kinda doubt they are gonna answer any questions I have.

I have a question, simple to answer and am posting it on the same board where they announced their plans. Shouldn't be a big deal to anyone, including them.

Edited to add;
My only and simple question is what leagues are the two teams going to play in. My only reason for raising the question on the names "Premier" and "Challenge" is that it is hard to tell from those names exactly what league/level of play the two teams plan to be in for next fall. It's a simple question - nothing sinister about it.
