"Tried to played 2026 AA teams , didn't work out well."
Not a 91 parent, but I don't understand why you would bash a team for playing up? What's it to you? Perhaps they do that so as not to play the 2nd team from their own program thus giving that 2nd team a better chance to win. Definitely not a 91 fan, but that certainly is not a reason for me to bash them. I f coaches think its makes their team better, have at it.
the problem is that you have other 2026 A teams that go into a tourney with the hopes of playing other really good A teams in the 2026 bracket and they get stuck playing a 2027 team. why is it fair for them to have to play a weaker team. In your scene then every A team should just play up. no team should be allow to play up in a tourney that the teams pay to play in.
