That's the challenge a lot of these second tier clubs have. If they enter the big time tourneys and get smacked around nobody's happy, kids leave, and it's hard to attract new kids. But if they don't enter the big tourneys, it's hard to retain the best players. They will eventually leave for LE/BBL/TS to play with better with/against better kids in the top tourneys with the most visibility.
