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.



As I said: "I'm also a proponent of the SCSCL teams that don't make the final 8 being allowed to enter the President's Medal Cup."

But also remember that with states like NC and GA that have promotion and relegation, teams don't have the choice like in SC to "challenge themselves by playing in the highest level" if they didn't get promoted or stay "up" the previous season.
