I was one of the people Karen was discussing with ( Team Divisions thread ). It is not necessarily about banding together to form a winning team (although that is nice). You only get a few swimmers from each club that go to Nationals (unless it is Indy). It would stink to have a dozen Illinois clubs, 3 swimmers each, and zero relays. (Versus a 36 member IM team, and getting a chance to meet/socialize more people because of these "mixed" relays.)
