Which tournaments, and which DMV teams traditionally go to them?


BLC and ML go to bigger tournaments. NAL, NLF


I know ML flies kids in to create their Nationals teams and so they compete well at these tourneys, but how does BLC do? Do they do ok at these bigger tournaments? Just curious if NL avoids them because of the competition level or some other reason. If BLC does ok with them, I'd assume NL would do fine too.

BLC, at the 2030 level, is the most competitive at these tournaments.

BLC takes it younger teams to the June NLF events but never to the NLF Championships in July.

BLC doesn’t have older teams but DCE does take kids to NAL and NLF.

Madlax runs those tournaments and refuses to let NL join because they know NL will win. Naptown/LI Showdown/Great 8 have better recruiting than NAL/NLF!

All teams do very well. Take their oldest team, for example. Went to Naptown Finals, Undefeated at Long Island, & lost in playoffs by 1 goal to #1 team in the nation at Great 8. Also went to Platinum Cup championship and lost by a goal

This year, at Naptown, 2025 ML beat NL on the way to winning the championship. Both teams are good.

Does NL assemble a Nationals team specifically for these tournaments like Madlax does, or does NL compete with their normal 2025 Blue roster?

No National team but more guest players as the teams get older

Agreed...not even close. BLC 2030 won NAL this year

NL has a National team starting soon called Mojo. They are playing in the circuit next year
