as far as this Rebel thing goes, I'm going to throw my theory in the mix. I think that the Rebels were a mish mosh of players from T.G. and Y.J that got together at certain tournaments and was very successful. probably too successful for C.R. taste. The best I can tell (thankfully my daughter is done with all this) Y.J. teams it seems got beat by Rebels, and that C.R. can not have, so in true evil empire empire fashion, she pretty much buys the team that beat her. This is a win win for her. That team can no longer beat her teams because there is no way she will allow her players to play for any other team against her. and in a year she can drop the offending players to a 2nd 3rd or 4th team and no one will care
