Yellowjackets DMV is ranked 34th nationally.

M&D DC is 99th.

No comparison.

If there were tiers, M&D DC would be around 4th or 5th tier. Can't imagine what MDU DC would be. Certainly worse.

True, but being in the top brackets brings more colleges and more frequency. Not sure big difference between bracket 1 or 3, but certainly when you get to Presidents Cup or LFTC with 28 brackets, you wanna be in the top ones.


There's a noticeable difference between the top 5-10 teams in each age group and the next tier. That's not to say they are more talented, they just play better as a team.


I think the big difference is depth. Our team is mediocre overall but we have 5-8 girls who could compete with some of the best. The top teams have 24 girls who are as good as our top 5-8 players are we cannot keep up with the skill at every position for their first and second string. We often start strong and lose badly in the 2nd half.


Are you M&D DC?


I don’t think M&D DC plays any top teams for this to occur, I’d guess more like YJ.


Probably YJ. They have around 5 or 6 players that could play anywhere. DD plays with some of them on other teams. Not sure what's going on with the rest of them.

That description fits many of the mid-level A teams. It could be anyone of them.

Is it the same Hero's team who has a record of 11-11-1??

I know exactly what you mean. Like the time Skywalkers took Heros Green to overtime a few weeks ago. Game could have gone either way.

Think this is the results of games in A bracket.

Coppermine 2-0-1
Nxt 2-1
YJ 1-2
Skywalkers 0-2-1


Does this mean that coppermine tied skywalkers??!!


Yes, and YJ beat Skywalkers
