....Third team talent playing in first team leagues. [/quote]

EDP isn't a first team league, at least not at the older age groups.

It is a small step below MLS Next and fairly even with ECNL.[/quote]

No it's not.  It is well below MLS Next and ECNL.  Maybe on par with ECNL Regional, but many clubs are entering their team below their ECNL Regional team into EDP.

The notion that ECNL is stronger across the board than ECNL-R and USYS National is not all that solid when you consider middle of the table ECNL-R teams move into ECNL with essentially the same roster (see BRAVE). There are teams in every league (yes, even NCSL) that can compete with several ECNL teams. Pipeline? No. But the other Maryland and some Nova teams, yes. [/quote]

Agreed, there are teams in any league that can compete at high levels and there are basement dwellers in any league, but your statement that EDP is even with ECNL, just isn't factual.  ECNL has much greater visibility and draws the bigger clubs.  Any club that has been awarded ECNL places their top teams in ECNL and ECNL-Regional over EDP.

Loudoun:
 - ECNL - A team
 - ECNL-Regional - B team
 - EDP - C team
 - NCLS - D and E teams

Herndon / VDA:
 - ECNL - A team
 - ECNL-Regional - B team
 - EDP - C team

Reston/Great Falls
 - ECNL-Regional - A team
 - EDP - B team

Fredericksburg
 - ECNL-Regional - A team
 - EDP - B team

Pipeline
 - ECNL - A team
 - ECNL-Regional - B team
 - EDP - C team

Baltimore Celtic
 - ECNL - A team
 - EDP - B team

Maryland United
 - ECNL-Regional - A team
 - EDP - B team
