I get that Open is higher than National and that both Metro and Paramount make it known that Open bids are the goal, but I think it says something about the general attitude of Paramount as a club and its supporters, that they are bending over backwards to criticize these teams that won and were runners-up in the second highest division at nationals. They have been suspiciously quiet about Metro 17 Travel that brought home a medal for 3rd place in 17 Open. A PP said it further up this thread, shouldn't all CHRVA teams be rooting for other CHRVA teams to succeed?  Isn't a stronger region better for all of the local clubs in the long run?

I thought it was a great achievement that CHRVA had a team qualified in every Open division at Nationals. In addition to the Paramount and Metro Open bids being discussed, MDJRs 14s had an Open bid as did Blue Ridge 13s. I don't know whether that has ever happened before in CHRVA history. If CHRVA teams want to consistently be in the running for an Open national championship, then we need more competitive clubs locally. If Paramount out competes Metro and takes over the top spot in CHRVA, then great, but tearing down Metro so Paramount can take that spot is a loss for everyone.[/quote]

If you read this thread, you will see it's the Metro supporter who started by comparing the performance of Metro 15, 16 to that of Paramount 15, 16 at the nationals:

What about results? [b]Metro did particularly well this year at Nationals[/b] with 17 Travel finishing 3rd in 17 Open, [b]15 Travel winning the 15 National championship, and 16 Travel coming in 2nd in 16 National.[/b] The other two Metro teams that played in Open did pretty well too, with 18 Travel finishing 13th out of 48 and 14 Travel finishing 13th out of 36.

[b]Paramount on the other hand did not do as well.[/b] Their two Open qualified teams, including their much lauded 16s struggled, with [b]Paramount 16s finishing 33rd out of 36 and Paramount 15s finishing 29th out of 36[/b]. One bright spot for Paramount was their 13s finished ahead of 13 Travel with Paramount 13s finishing 17 out of 48 and Metro 13 Travel finishing 27 out of 48.

This is ridiculous because it's like a team who won the JV competition laughing at a team who lost the varsity competition.[/quote]
So it would be ok for the Metro 14s, 17s, and 18s who all finished higher placed in Open divisions than any Paramount team (even those in the “JV” divisions, like National) to be “laughing”?  Just want to make sure I understand the rules Paramount follows.[/quote]
Nobody should laugh at nobody else. The Metro supporter laughed at the Paramount 15 and 16. Thus the response JV should not laugh at Varsity. Nobody said that Metro 14, 17, 18 should laugh at Paramount except YOU.[/quote]
