Cornerflag: You're arguing that the State Challenge Cup is important. No one is arguing with you, as far as I can tell. What I'm arguing is that the SCYSA shouldn't cripple our best teams by forcing them to make a choice between the state title and one of the relatively few premier/platinum tournaments within several hundred miles of our state.
I can also tell you, from direct and recent experience, that winning a South Carolina state championship isn't enough to get you into the top flights of these top tournaments.
