...I'd still be in favor of it tho....the benefits to the top kids outweigh the disappointment to the next segment of kids.
The point that seems to be missed is that there are lots of kids who, given the opportunity to develop, would eventually be as good or better than those who are [now] on the "super-team." The notion that it is wise (or even possible) to identify the 16 kids in the state at a given age who are worthy of national or regional exposure, to the exclusion of all others, is bizarre.
