Most tournaments at the older level are recruiting tourneys and don’t even have championships with multiple pools where tops teams don’t even play each other.
Rankings are typically political.With that being said I do respect the teams that win the big tournaments against top competition but other than that the criteria for ranking seams to be patronizing each other.You see the same thing on the individual level where kids get awarded and make teams based on who their coach is or team they play on.Stuff like that makes us all who have been around scratch our heads.

Whats the matter? Was your team not ranked? Rankings are done by quality of wins and strength of schedule. Not that difficult to understand. It does matter for recruiting purposes because the best college programs typically recruit girls who play on the best club teams. The sidelines of those games were packed with the top teams head coaches. For other girls, they need to rely on showcases and prospect days to hopefully get a chance to stand out. Watch when the girls begin to commit in a couple weeks and you will see that I am pretty spot on
