For 2020, HoCo just drank the kool aid by letting 3 totally unproven teams into the "elite" bracket. They need to have a bit of a backbone and do what is right for the kids which is placing teams where they fit best. Allowing three lower level teams into an elite bracket is not fair to those kids - the true elite kids or the ones who do not be,long there. It distorts the bracket and does not allow even playing for the teams who do belong there as not everyone will get to play the weaker teams and not everyone will want to.
