I would not argue against anything you said I was just pointing out what I had seen in looking at the ENCL web page (should have looked at the R3 list but did not think about).
I do not think the Charlotte teams even dominate in the NC state rankings. What I think would be fair to say is that at the NC classic/ SC challenge level NC teams are at a slight advantage because of the size of the pool they draw players from.
Once you progress to a premier level things start to even out. Of course if you said for example players must live with in say 20 miles of the club home, well then SC would be in trouble as we tend to have to pool talent from around the state while they (NC) tend to have teams that are more local. This of course is not unexpected when you pit a more rural SC vs the metro areas of NC.
I guess another way to look at NC vs SC would be to see how the NC teams that play in SC HS touraments fair (and who SC fairs up there) would give a basis for comparng girls from one small area to another. I guess if Mauldin or Riverside clean up in the Cups against NC team we will know.
