Everywhere else in the country, basic standards are

NLF (generally top half of HoCo elite)

AA Ball (covers HoCo AAA and lower 1/2 of HoCO Elite)

A Ball (covers HoCo AA and maybe some A teams)

B Ball: Lax Federation and A-Ball at Aloha events: rec-club, rec all stars, teams you've never heard of generally. Aka "who knew that 3D had a team in Mississippi?"

I haven't heard of "AAA" level except in baseball, and the "elite" thing is of course, made up.
