>>[Big Daddy] And Chico.....what do you want to bet that there are as many kids playing out of state for CESA as there are SC kids playing where my kids play? Same with Bridge....Aiken, Hilton Head, etc.<<

But...that doesn't matter, right? All that matters is that we make South Carolina soccer more competitive. So if we can get the SCYSA to make this decision, it will be a big win, right? I'm sure you'll quickly and gladly sign up to move your kid to a South Carolina club, right? And the good news is that I don't think that the NCYSA will try to invent new rules out of whole cloth -- so maybe the South Carolina clubs will get to keep their out of state kids while we restrict South Carolina kids from going out of state. I really think this could be a winning appeal for increasing the parity of South Carolina soccer within the state.

>>Please don't confuse parental freedom of choice with organizational behaviour which is both predatory and oligopolic. <<

Help me to understand your terms. I can understand accusing any club of predatory behavior if they were to try to restrict choice within their area. Is that what any club is doing? I've repeatedly said that if any club wants to offer services in any area, I'm all for it.
