Sure would be nice to know who brought this Rule 1 up? I just don't like the tone of that president's report. The way I see it is pretty clear. The posts above are spot on, some of the big boys are paranoid and they are losing business. I hope the state association stands up for itself. The State Cup Tournament for U10-U12 for $150 costs 1/3 of the big boy club's tournaments and you don't have to book hotels rooms through their booking agent. The big clubs are also trying to get their hooks into the ODP program - imagine how much it will cost once the "profesionals" get control of that.
