How does losing to a team outside the top 130 impact Madlax's ranking? Does this mean they could fall from 2 to 3?
I love to lampoon ML, but the answer is probably "not much." The top MD teams (aside from NL) play - and beat - so much good competition from season to season that losing a game is not problematic.
Also, at this age, what really is the difference between the #2, #5, #11 team nationally unless they are all playing the same event or league that has a serious playoff structure.
If your kid's team is in the top 25 nationally, they are certainly in the top 10 between Atlanta and Philly and the top 2-3 in MD. In other words, relax.
