If you get beat by town teams and/or you aren't in the top 5 A teams In a region then inherently you are a B team.
Why cant A teams lose to town teams... would it be because town teams don't exsist as they used to. Where is it written that the threshold for A teams is top 5 in a region. Some regions may only have 2/3 and others may have 6.
To me, an A team is a team that can consistently compete with another winning team. and by compete I means stay within 4 goals.
You are explaining an A team who plays down as a B team just to get wins. A "B" team who consistently wins is not a "B" team. They are an A team.
Just like even if you are the best team in your organization you may not be an "A" team. Know what you are and play so you are competitive.
