I see your moniker was well selected....Paradox

Noone is upset...I just wanted to know how you can say it was cheaper, in theory if the same support existed for the trip to Raleigh/ Atlanta then it would not be cheaper.

Therefore, as you state - out of pocket for the player there is no difference. For the club on the other hand the need for sponsorship is increased. Thus there must be a "special" program that applies only to the academy player as the per player cost to the club is greater.

In the end I am happy to see Bridge perform, wish them luck in the season and still think if you are fielding a team in the "ACADEMY" you should not be losing 8-0 or in the case of Bridge winning 8-0. It is after all USSF's intention to increase competition....
