Comet: Unless the SCYSA changed the rules, the third place team is the only team offered the option of competing in RIIIPL-East. The fourth place team is not considered (or at least several years ago the fourth place team was not considered -- the SCYSA had specifically amended their rules with respect to this.)
Historically, the second place team (let alone the third place team) from SC isn't competitive in RIIIPL-East. Taking an anecdotal look at the numbers, I don't think that the second place SC team is typically competitive with the third place team from GA or NC, let alone our third place team.
