Super teams

Karen, I think we should take this discussion to Pacific LMSC and get an agreement that any championship east of the Mississippi be done as a Pacific SUPERTEAM. That way we cam compete fairly with the NEM's and GSM's, have fun, and be in some good relays. I think it would increase the Pacific representation at these meets. For the 'local' meets we can compete as our regular clubs, WCM vs DAM vs SFM vs MELO vs . . . as we all want, anyway. Lets not tilt at windmills and, instead, concentrate on having a good time. If I weren't an old fogey I would really like to be in a relay of yours (perhaps I can be in one with your coach, instead!) I am in agreement with Fritz, et. al. that fairness is pretty hard to define. Even in Pacific we have one team that requires attendence at the SCY Pacific championship meet as a requirement to belong to the team, and another that recruits from all over the peninsula. 'Fairness' results in burdensome regulations; there are more important things to worry about.
