My statement was to imply that should USA/MP have been playing in the USYSA structure last year with their top teams they would have had 5 teams in the USYSA National league.
These are facts that can not be twisted or disputed for all our causal readers:
USA/MP in 2017-2018 were 1 of 2 clubs in the US that had a boys team in every age group of USYSA National League. It is my understanding that they were granted entrance for 2018-2019 back into the USYSA National League in every age group. They turned that opportunity down for the NPL league. Regardless if that�s true, based on the rules, there is no disputing their 03s and 04s were automatic qualifiers; so at a minimum as opposed to using language �Possibly in Nationals league� as Shamrock does above, I can say with certainty that they had at least 2 spots.
FACT: USA/MP had 2 spots in USYSA National League at a minimum.
Additionally they won every State Cup in South Carolina on the boys side except U19. That�s U13, U14, U15, U16, U17 & U18. Meaning their top teams for 2018-2019 had automatic bids to the Piedmont league.
FACT: All USA/MP top teams would have been playing in the Piedmont league, not challenge had they been in the USYSA umbrella.
This past year in the NPL their 05s & 00/01s won their NPL league and qualified for the ENPL championship. Additionally their 03s won a bid based on finishing tied for second in their NPL league. That leaves only their 04s & 02s outside of qualifying. The 06 (u13 ) age group doesn�t have advancement. As the 04s were an automatic bid to National League, based on Shamrocks comment above ( you can�t assume based on their NPL results.. ) that argument doesn�t hold water in this discussion. USYSA National League spots are earned in the previous year of play.
