It’s an A and B level championship. That’s pretty evident by the way it’s structured. Not sure what the issue is… this tournament is always tough on the top bracket. 3 teams went 3-0 with only two coming out. It’s just the nature of the structure.

Heros. Coppermine and NXT were all deserving of coming out. Unfortunately NXT just missed out.
Exactly the point. Those 3 should be playing in a playoff. Not a B team in a really weak bracket advancing.

The set up accomplishes what a Fall Ball tournament is supposed to accomplish. It gives an indicator on which teams have gotten weaker and which have gotten stronger by matching up the top half of the A teams to compete and the bottom half of the A teams to compete. Some of the teams that would have made playoffs last year in top half pool fell to the bottom of their pool showing those teams have gotten much weaker. Some other teams that people would have expected to be at the bottom of that pool rose up against an overall #2 ranked team last year. This is all helpful to evaluate prior to spring season which is the whole point of fall ball.

Maybe the issue is you don’t realize that Heros White is not a “B” team? They play in the NGLL A division.
