Most of the teams at the World Series of Youth Lacrosse are not under any illusion that they are there to win. They are there so the their boys can have a fun experience. The teams were chosen based upon willingness to go rather than any expectation they were the best in their region or state. The C2C team isn't the best team in Texas. Team Carolina is a 2021 team playing up etc.
The reality is the Crabs and Crush would have played more competitive teams if they had gone to young Gunz as originally planned.
Blowing out a team 30-0 in a tournament that isn't as competitive as your other options shows really poor character. I am not defending the Crabs but Team 91 seems to be equally lacking in character.
The reality is Crabs and Crush would have more competitive games if the organizers truly tried to pick the 10 best teams. Your nonsense about these were the only teams who would go is ridiculous. Legacy flew to San Diego last year for a tournament. You don't think they would have gone here and been much more competitive? The organizers wanted a national tournament instead of a competitive one and they are getting what they asked for. This final is on national tv, there are perks galore for the kids and you think any other teams wouldn't show up?!? You write well but you are completely wrong on this tournament.
The problem isn't that they tried to get good teams from all over the country. The problem is that they failed to get good teams from all over the country. Originally they wanted to have 16 teams but they failed to fill out the field. For example, the Carolina Cannons, Georgia Thunder and West Coast Stars are all better than many of the teams at the World Series and are all at young guns this weekend. The reality is that at least outside of the Northeast it wasn't hard to get an invitation but that most teams didn't want to go.
