[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else find Paramount's instagram posts to be amusing?  Instead of just celebrating their successes (of which they deserve to be very proud), they frequently frame their posts in some strained way that makes them the "Only CHRVA club..." to do X or Y.  Their recent post about their teams that earned bids to Nationals is a good example.

Instead of just acknowledging the huge accomplishment of their 15s earning an open bid, they say "Only CHRVA club with an OPEN BID in the U15 age group this season. Under the modern format of GJNC, the CHRVA Region has only had a total of six U15 teams qualify in Open, one of which was our own U15 team back in the 2021 season!"

Similarly, when they were hyping up their teams attending Triple Crown, they kept saying awkward things like "Given the fact that Paramount VBC is the only CHRVA club to be invited to and accepted into the 2024 Triple Crown NIT..."  While this assertion is technically true (Metro was invited but didn't accept making Paramount the only CHRVA club invited and accepted), I feel like it would be more effective to just say they are excited to go to Triple Crown or if they really believe there is a reason to put it in a CHRVA context, say they were the only CHRVA club attending.

These strangely worded posts always seem like a thinly veiled (and a little desperate) attempt to one-up Metro. Paramount has pretty firmly established themselves as a top CHRVA club - they are no longer some unknown under dog and they should just promote and celebrate their successes without worrying so much about how it stacks up against Metro, or any other club.[/quote]
