CHT,
MPSC and CUSC did hold out and made the choice not to join SSC, JIYSC, and BFA at the time the merger was taking place. Then this year, with MPSC and CUSC being extremely instrumental, tried to form the Lowcountry Alliance that included BFA. Trying to form an alliance shows that they also feel the need to step it up to compete. Why not join the existing alliance if they felt one was needed for their players and others in the lowcountry? Maybe MPSC just needs total control.
