Correct this is what has been confusing for us when it came to choosing a club.  There are some “regional teams” (Metro North, for example) that don’t play in “national” competitions that require flights to ATL or CO, but the level of play on that team would rival many of the less competitive “national” teams that are playing to travel to Raleigh, Atlanta, CO. For example VAVA,  Renaissance, Mojo, Vienna, BRYC, will all have “national” teams that will do more travel. But I am willing to bet some of the stronger regional teams could easily outplay them.  My DD opted to play for a stronger regional team over a weaker national team. If that makes sense?

So does this explain why some of the “Regional” teams are ranked higher in AES than the “national” teams? I suppose that means those Regional teams performed better in the local national tournaments like Capitol Hill Classic?[/quote]

I'm pretty sure Sportwrench tournament results (like Capital Hill, National Harbor and Volley by the James) don't end up in the AES rankings at all.[/quote]

Sportwrench (or any tournaments outside of AES) have to be entered manually, but most clubs do it.  They do factor in the rankings when they are entered.

Comparing rankings in AES without detailed knowledge of how it works is fools errand.  And by the time you figure out AES and its system, you'll know exactly which teams play at which level -- and you won't need AES any more.
