Hurst66: Here are my equations: <Club> != ODP where <Club> = <SCYSA Club> | <USCS Club> | ...
My understanding of ODP is that the goal of the program is to help identify US national team members. The goal of the program is not for each state to have the most competitive team, it is for each state to identify its best players so that they can be evaluated and potentially selected into region pools, region teams, and national teams.
I believe it's false to assume that if we want (or need) to exceed at regionals everyone has to join CESA. Certainly Bridge had quite a bit of success in its first year. I will state that I believe that 2-3 major alliances in South Carolina are probably the way to go...but that's just my opinion.
