Southern Stars won the South Regional this past weekend and #8 7 Flames went 1-3, so don't put too much stock in the rankings. Correct. Don’t forget that these rankings are based on the performance in the fall of the 2026 teams which include holdbacks that are present on most of these teams. Good point. Agreed this ranking has very little credibility. The teams on this list will be much different than the teams that show up for the qualifiers. You can look at the rankings and see the higher the rank the more holdbacks and the more the team will be different at the qualifier. Like Reply Quote

Assuming East and North will have more spots given the number of teams that are entered. Compared to the Central qualifier where only 3 teams signed up. Like Reply Quote

Re: Boys 2026 Grads - Mid Atlantic Region Anonymous #323663 A Anonymous Unregistered Anonymous Unregistered A South had 5 teams - guessing top 2 get in. Central has 3 teams - guessing only 1 gets in. If West has 10 and 4 get in that leaves 17 spots between East and North assuming no international teams. How many teams are in the East and North regionals? Like Reply Quote

At this point it is not clear how teams stack up against each other because every comparison so far has included holdbacks in the equation. After the qualifier we will see who has what.
