2026 is the weakest class of DC area players by far. So even Black Ops (VLC, Bethesda, and NL) and Monuments (mostly Madlax 2026 with a few 2027 holdbacks and a few 2026 players from other DC clubs) are far from assured of qualifying in the East regional. The 2025 teams are a much different story - the combinations will create much stronger teams.
