AM,

I meant this year, 2011. They had an invite last year to play at 16u, I believe.

Back in Feb before the 96s went dark, it was known that he wasnt going to Premier, but intended to go to ASA. That was also before invites were extended to certain 14u teams.

I dont know for sure, but I believe he also had an invite this year when they were extended to certain 14u teams, but declined. I dont believe he elected to go ASA because he felt slighted by PGF. If you go back and read Charlie's earlier post, he appeared surprised to hear that PS96 was entered into Premier. I dont see it any different than CA Lockman playing States even though they had a berth to Premier in hand and had no intention of playing ASA.

Gotcha...I'm still confused on some of the other teams. Was there a 2 year guarantee for some and a one year for others??? Did that change or am I totally wrong and it was never 2 years?

The early invites were for 2 years and the later fill-ins were for 1 year.
