LCD-I also wonder why they post the names before a commitment, but I do like seeing who we would play with since it is a factor on our decision.
I would disagree with your term of "a lot" where offered classic positions w/CUSC/MPSC. The BFA 90 girls has 2 U16 players offered a classic position and 3 U17 players offered a classic position. The U17 players chosen for classic do not want to play challenge anymore as they have in the past because of the time/travel commitment. In that instance, a personal choice. As far as the 2 U16 players, maybe it's time they move up? Perhaps at CUSC/MPSC they had 3 age groups trying out for two teams instead of 3 teams, there just were not enough spots? Perhaps those 2 U16 players were sacrificed for the club to have a competitive classic team?
If all the U16 top players from CUSC/MPSC had tried out at the Bridge, there would be enough for a 2d U16 team at BFA.It appears enough U16 players tried out at CUSC/MPSC to make a challenge team. Instead, they put them on a U18 B challenge team to keep them at CUSC. Won't those U16 challenge players have to compete against true U18 challenge teams?
At BFA it appears 3-4 are also traveling from Myrtle Beach.
Time will tell if the U17 team at BFA and the U18 teams at MPSC will be competitive. I hope they will both be successful.
While I may look at the situation differently than you, I also wonder as you do...Who's best interest is being served???? The club or the player? I'm sure it's just as aggravating for the clubs not knowing who is going where.
