First off only 1 Long Island team is in the NLF Championship, the obvious team missing is Venom, I’d love to hear why they aren’t going.

The tier of teams has become very evident

Top AA - Express and Venom
With Venom bailing on NLF does this put the momentum behind Express going into tryouts?

AA - Legacy, Rush and S2S
With a few additions Rush and S2S can be more competitive with top teams, Legacy will probably bring in some new faces, will they be able to over the hump, big expectations this year, the best team they beat was S2S

Lower AA - BTB, Igloo, Rebels Hydra, Surge
Upset parents and drama at Hydra and Surge, they’ll definitely be new rosters next season, my guess is for the positive for Surge and negative for Rebels

Purgatory - Igloo Frost

Top B - Dune Dawgs, GSB, Hitmen

B- ECE, Legacy East, Rebels red wolves, recon

Struggling teams - BTB red, express Pomp, Rebels East, S2S scorpions

NLF Championship is a sinking ship. Express blocks all LI teams. Other NLF clubs blocking all the best teams just because they're competitors. No LI teams beside Express. No 3D NE. No 2WAY. No BBL. What used to be a great tournament is now a non event. Venom doesn't even want to go.
