CHT,

I'm guessing that your kid plays for a Bridge team. Did she learn anything from the coaches, playing with and against the top competition in the region? I would say that this would have made her a better player then when she first started with the team.
The fact remains that the Bridge concepts works. You can only hope that they can find some more centralized fields. If there is a good product people would go where it is.
True the low country needs to have unification, but at this time the record is showing that the Bridge is the best option for the elite player in the low country.
