You make a great point so let me expand.

If you held a national tournament in NJ and all of the teams that were in CO attended (Utah, CA, Washington, Co, Az, TX, IL Ohio, ect.) they would meet the same fate. A clearly different style of play. East Coast lax is way more aggressive and deep in talent.

That would leave the quarter finals to look close to this....
YJ
Skywalkers
M&D
Steps
Heroes
Elevate
TG
Liberty
BBL
TLC

And Semis would look like this....

YJ
Skywalkers
M&D
+1 More

Sound familiar??? ANY of these 3 Teams would win the Title.

This year these teams HAVE met at various East Coast Tournaments and YJ has won MORE than there share, if not most or all of these games at multiple age brackets.

Its fact.

So stop belly aching. Yes, if Skywalkers or M&D were in CO, 2 more teams wouldn't have been in the quarters or the semis and the finals "MAY" have been different. Maybe not.

But they weren't there.

YJ GOLD SILVER and BRONZE

Just be happy for these girls. Its unbelievable. That's where US LAX held the tournament. YJ went.

TG LOST to the 2nd YJ17 team fair and square
ELEVATE LOST to a pure YJ 2018 team and then to the 2nd YJ17 team ..fair and square
LIBERTY LOST fair and square to the 2018 team .. do you really think they have a shot at the 2017 teams?? cmon'

Enough. But I agree with 1 thing. Skywalker and M&D ++ should meet with YJ more. When it happens, its always great.
