You know the rankings are flawed if 3D Red moves up the rankings. The only competition they faced was Laxachusetts Black and their schedule reflects it. Playing your local tournaments against weak competition doesn’t prove much. Just the New England version of Team 91. Plenty quality tournaments played over the past several months with strong quality competition and 3D Red was no where to be found. Can’t wait to hear the excuses. Assuming to many hold backs to make it to the WSYL. Good teams want to play good teams. That’s how the get better!
I would say that playing Laxachusetts black 5 times is serious competition. And going 6-0 at Millon with wins over Towermen and BBL Black was not a fluke. They are definitely a top 10 team.
Where were they for the WSYL qualifiers?
Typical holdback scenario with 3D and that's the reason they weren't at the qualifier and that's the same reason Laxachusetts wasn't there. Either way, these teams (and others with holdbacks) will likely have some physical advantages throughout the summer against actual on-age teams. That's what is appealing about the WS... to find the best on-age team... period.
Exactly. If you don't think for one second people don't realize there are 4-5 legitimate teams that play WSYL and also compete at all other events, you're crazy. 3D's True's, Tommyknockers, Laxachusetts, Crabs, when they pop up and are good and don't show at on age tournaments, everyone realizes they are a sham grabbing whatever they can to try and get W's! They are as good as the holdbacks they have available that day. There's a huge difference between them and a few other teams.
BBL beat 3D last weekend at Brawl & great WS showing. On age can work as a team.
