It is probably way to early for this but since some of the key fall tournaments have concluded I see some shifts in the rankings going into spring:
Top Tier: (in no order) Hawks Crabs FCA NL BLC Looney's Middle Tier: 91 Madlax Club Blue VLC Cav's SR API Lower Middle Tier: FCA-W Hawks-B 3d Lax Factory PLC PG G Not sure of the rest but there will be close games among a host of teams in B Koopers, Ground Control, Wolfpack, Rock, NL (red), Club Blue VA, Gator.... All in all it is a strong age group. This is open for discussion but my $.02 is that fall does change the rankings, not just the result in tournaments but the changes in rosters after tryouts. Many players moved teams. All teams may have been missing players. Unless the missing player was a team's goalie and the only goalie on the team, that is not an excuse. Top players do play other sports but also do pick up sticks in the fall. Funny to hear the field condition was an excuse for a club that hosted a tournament. The question going into spring will be which teams will move up or down in the HOCO divisions? Which teams surprised this fall? Most improved? Most depleted?
