[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]Here are my USAV 18s GJNCs observations from Reno:

AES page for the weekend: https://results.advancedeventsystems.com/event/PTAwMDAwNDIwOTY90/home

Paramount 18s ... where to begin.  This team got a bid very late in the process.  I understand this team had numerous season-ending injuries, to the point where they only had 6 players at some events.  A Paramount parent told me that the most of the healthy 18s players "left" early (given that the team hadn't earned a bid at this point.  [b]So, Paramount ultimately sent their 16-2s team and coaches to Reno.[/b]  They may have pulled back two of the original-and-still-healthy 18s and one 17s player who was returning from her own injury.  Team went 2-5, which may not be bad for what was really a 16s teams.[/quote]
If it’s true that Paramount sent a 16-2 team, then they probably should have declined the bid and let another team have the opportunity. Imagine if Blue Ridge had not declined their bids and instead just fielded and sent a lower team.

Or maybe this is just the excuse being given because the team struggled this year. Injuries happen, but for top teams with 13+ player rosters, I don’t think injuries fully explain a season like that. It just seems that recruitment to replace players that left was poor.[/quote]
