[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent]For better or for worse, there are local CHRVA events nearly every weekend starting in January.  Not every team at every club will participate in every event.  If there are 75+ CHRVA teams in nearly every age group, there are going to be plenty of local events (Open or otherwise) where teams will compete and win.  As I understand things, CHRVA "only" requires that teams compete in two local events to qualify for Bid Regionals in March ... and they only need to compete in one event at the Open level.  So, you may not see supposedly higher-tier clubs teams playing at tons of local events.

While my kid was at Paramount last season, I learned that Paramount (1s) and Metro Travel tend to avoid each other at these local tournaments. (I have no idea if that is intentional on both sides ... or just on one).  As best I can tell, a club like VA Juniors doesn't participate in many local one-day tournaments, seemingly relying on Cap Hill and ?National Harbor? to fulfill the CHRVA Bid Regional requirements.  And then you have Blue Ridge which seems to meet requirements for competing at Bid Regionals, but will then decline to accept any bids their teams earn.

So, clubs have plenty of opportunities to put their teams in events where they can win.  They just need to go out and do it on the court.[/quote]

I don't really understand a lot of what you said, but maybe you can answer this question instead then (since having read a few more responses, it doesn't sound like MD Jrs is about qualifying for USAV): Why mix 1s with 2s at a regional tournament where mostly the decent 1s are going to beat most of the 2s? I thought the whole point of the separation between travel/open and regional/club is a perception of these teams being at different levels?  I'm well aware that some club 2 teams could easily decimate some mediocre travel/1s. But that doesn't mean that in a club tournament, there should be travel teams sprinkled in, why does that make sense other than for the 1s to have more easier wins on their record?[/quote]
