The selection process for the 2023 National Championship states: "Only teams competing in AA leagues and similar-level tournaments will be considered." Thus, Cavs would not even be considered. Next Level will be there. During a scrimmage this fall, Next Level beat Cavs by over 10 goals. I am sure there is an Aloha tournament that Cavs can go play in that weekend. VLC lost to Lax Factory and NXT at their last tournament, hardly the best.
VLC also beat MAdlax and 91 Md who are both on this list
Madlax soundly beat VLC at the Maryland Invitational in October. VLC was lucky that it was only a 4 or 5 goal deficit.
That was VLC 2023's first game ever and it was a 1 goal game at halftime. You obviously neglected to mention VLC won the rematch. Considering it was their first season ever together, I don't think you have much to crow about. Didn't Madlax 2023 go winless in their own tournament?
