[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd argue CT had a big edge in AS since 90% of the teams at most levels were from the same club -- Grizzlies.[/quote]
When you look at last year's AS rosters it's easy to see they aligned with whomever the director was for that region. CT definitely took the cake with 20 of 22 players making the team for their 2023 class. Almost every team was made up of 50% of players from the regional director's club.

Lesson learned, if you are a club director you better fight to wear the crown of AS regional director. It seems to be a ticket to stack the regional team with your club players. If you are a parent or player, make sure you know who the regional director is for your area before spending all that money. If it is your club director, you may as well tryout. Good chance you will make the team. If your club director is not the AS regional director, you need to decide if you will play the longer odds. And more than likely lose out on your investment.

I think parents/players were already aware of this in the DC/VA region, so many top players didn't bother trying out. While AS claimed they would be different than UA when it came to selecting teams, no one was foolish enough to believe this. And the final rosters proved this. This was the main complaint about the UA team that was made up of primarily VAM players. The DC/VA AS team was not different. These teams had good players. The problem is they did not have all of the best players in the area. Thus, could not compete against the better teams.[/quote]

Yea but VAM sucks unless they’re  playing in the crab cake or the aloha tournaments.  Then watch out. [/quote]
