This is a crazy arms race. The Region III format was fine for the girls game, the games were (are) competitive and the level was fine for the development and subsequent recruitment of the players. ODP provided another great avenue for recruitment. Traveling to different time zones to play will not help the development at all- there are limited players (approaching zero) that will play anywhere other than the southeast. The ECNL costs in Charlotte are moving to 5-6K to play- the game is getting more exclusive at a time when the oppostite track should be the goal
