The regionam system would seem to facilitate more practices. In past years sone teams were based in Greenville or Charleston giving some players long trips for practices. There should also be fewer club conflicts within each region. So, more practices and less travel would seem to be a positive. Whether one region is so lopsided with talent that its players who don't make the cut are better than those selected in the other regions remains to be seen, but I suspect that choosing 3 regional teams will result in more players included at each level. I've never counted. Does one region currently produce much more than a third of the players on the current teams?
