Considering the lay of the land between USYS and USSF I can see where it might be easy to say that, but the truth of the matter is it's all about development and exposure to coaches at the next level in either program.
Plenty of D1 Head and Assistant coaches are involved with ODP and are in AL to not only watch games during the day but to also see the pool games. Whether making a pool game is referred to as an accomplishment or an opportunity doesn't really matter.
Not much point in running it down because it is another opportunity for abilities to be evaluated personally and objectively.
