Coach P,
You are telling me the regular season is the same as the preliminary round of State Cup? Are the NCAA conference basketball tournaments the preliminary round of the Big Dance? So there are really more than 65 teams in the tournament?
In South Carolina, the teams that finish at or near the bottom of the SCSCL in their age division are done. In North Carolina, these teams have two options that don't exist in South Carolina.
1. They can get a play-in game for the right to continue on into group play in the "Challenge Cup".
2. They can declare to enter the "President's Medal Cup".
Note - I have used South Carolina terms to describe the two levels of the North Carolina cups.
