Big Daddy: 5 teams move from a club in district A of SC to district B of SC. That is illegal because it violates the new 50% rule.

5 teams move from a club in district A in SC to a club in another state. How does the SCYSA explain that allowing this is consistent with the new 50% rule to its governing bodies?

I think you're going to say "because it's another state." But the SCYSA's intent with the 50% rule is to disallow "out of district" behavior. Thus, to be consistent the SCYSA must wherever possible disallow this behavior.

Now, do I think that the SCYSA cares about being consistent? No...I think they had an agenda here. But I think that the SCYSA's governing bodies might care about consistency -- in my looking at USSF appeals, it actually appears that this is a major reason for reversals.
