Alliance is a National team, shouldn't be included in these rankings, IMO.
.
Where do you draw the line then? All but 2 girls on Alliance are from southern california. (One from AZ and one from CO).
If you are only rating club teams from a tight geographic area, you shouldn't rate Aces, Eagle Stix, Madskillz, or Yellow Jackets either. (Or Skywalkers or Top Guns at older age groups)
It’s not about geography, it’s about the fact that their players already play on other clubs, except for a few tournaments.
As someone pointed out, if you combined M&D Heros BLC kids, you’d roll everyone.
Simply put, I don’t think you should earn ranking playing in fewer than 20 games.
Alliance will play a full fall schedule this year — a California tourney, mid Atlantic and sandstorm
