looking at the scores in that bracket, the fact that turf island and the bengals weren't beat by more than that against e3 and sst answers the question about both e3 and sst. it's like sports. you are never as good as a hot streak and never as bad as a losing streak. not every team is going to be the bandits. there is a team for every kid at every skill level. that's a good thing. not all lacrosse games are high skilled, high stakes. two "c" teams playing hopefully mean those kids have fun and learned something, just as much as the kids on two "a" teams. everyone is in such a rush to make all this stuff life and death it's amazing.
