be realistic. you'd never get the best teams in all age brackets every year. call it the "tournament of champions from all types of tournaments that also have whole teams of parents with time, money and willingness to spend their winter break at a lax tournament" For those that go hopefully they have a great time no matter how they do.
Well said. And not like Igloo 2021 and Team 91 Crush and FCA U15 and Tenacious Turtles aren't widely regarded as the best of the age groups. For all but teams like that, it really has to be regarded as vacation with a lot of fun playing teams from all over. And, even if a non-hotbed team loses big to a AA hotbed team, you learn a lot more from that game than dominating teams in your greater region.
If you don't have the NPYLL champs in it, you definitely can't call it the tournament of champions.
[FCA 2018's maybe. FCA 2019's (U15) certainly not best in group.
