I really don't know of any decent MD team that cares anything about loading up around the 4th of July and flying to the middle of the country. It's not a hold back thing, I believe no one sees the value in this money making racket. The spring season in MD is incredibly challenging week in and week out and the summer tournament circuit gives everyone a chance to play new teams from Philly and LI. What's the real point in going to Denver, they're 6th graders?
