Coach P,
In other states, a team can challenge themselves by playing in the highest level.....and still have the opportunity to play for a State Cup at the end of their season. This option doesn't exist in South Carolina.
Snicklefritz,
I'm aware of a South Carolina Challenge team that drew with the three top teams in their league/division. Unfortunately, due to injuries, other commitments, the team was not always at full-strength and they didn't win a match all year. They finish outside the top five, three teams come in from R3, and they are not in the top eight and can't compete for ANY State Cup.
Did they put themselves in the wrong division? They drew with the three best teams in the league?
