Again, beg to differ. Would love to see who you think the top 10 are.
Not in order, but for NGLL teams:
Heros Green
M&D Black
BLC
LBC
NEMS
Integrity
Skywalkers Blue
MD United
Coppermine
Pride
FCA would struggle against any one of these teams.
Sometimes just being a good team is not a bad thing. If FCA were in a different geographical area, they might be a top 5-7 team. But they happen to play in an area where there are some really talented teams. It's not a slight to be a top 12-15 team in the DMV. It just means they are not ever going to challenge the top teams.
They seem to be a pretty good bunch of kids. They won the NGLL B Division of the Mid-Atlantic. That's pretty cool. But sometimes you need to understand your comfort zone. And trading punches with the likes of the top dogs in the DMV is not a playground you want to make a living in if you aren't of that caliber.
And yes, if they played a 48 minute game against M&D or Hero's...they would get pummeled.
