If we're using your logic, by extension neither BLC or Crabs should be in elite either. Maybe that is so but then who would you replace the three with?

Here I go with the ever popular (to elite parents) trope of "there's not that much difference between the bottom of Elite and middle of AAA."

Heck, look at the list of AA and AAA teams who have tied or beaten BLC over the last few years.....

If I'm running 91, and I'm trying to deliver on my promise on "developing the team to Elite players" I know that I need to play my team in elite in 7th grade for the simple purpose of attracting players from other Elite teams for 8th grade, and ditching my former rec club players who were never going to be "elite" anyways.
