If the MD players are top tier players, and a year or more older than the LI players, then there should be no contest. But that is clearly not the case.


That is a very good question. MD teams play an entire HOCO season before playing the LI teams, while the LI teams are just beginning their tourney season. And every MD team is LOADED with holdbacks, and always have been. If these MD teams are top teams, these games should not be remotely close. But they always are very close. Would love some “intelligent” responses.


Do mid-Atlantic teams have trouble with LI teams? Maybe 1 or 2 LI teams can pose a threat, but the vast majority of LI teams don't compete with the vast majority of Md teams. Outside of Taz and then sometimes WP, what teams from LI are competitive?


Competitive? Competitive with who? Other 2024 teams? Then your answer is, there are ALOT of very competitive LI teams. They may not be competitive against 2023 teams disguised as 2024 teams, but against true 2024 teams (you know, the ones that don’t cheat their butt off) they are VERY competitive.
