but my biased opinion is that Austin Jrs in spite of this weekend is #1. By my personal observation, Skyline, TAV, Epic are all capable of being ranked #2. By reputation, stats, results, etc Wave and Vision, can stake that claim as well. Arguements can be made to the contrary, but I believe that group of 6 has separated themselves from the pack. Other than Epic, all have won a big prize and all have demonstrated consistency.

My only chance to observe was at the last invasion of Texas which was almost as successful as that of Santa Anna. You have to give me credit though, I made the effort to walk over to the silver bracket at Lone Star to take a look. Honest question to which I do not know the answer, do they have any wins against my 6. If so what is their overall record?

...interesting in the "home cooking" in that you'd give AJV a "pass" for the weekend at Far West but not Invasion for their weekend at Lone Star? Invasion played AJV once losing 25-21; 25-22 and TAV 25-22; 25-23. Northern Lights? Invasion beat them twice, Omaha and in finals at their own NQ...do you read the PREP articles? And Chambers, the Northern Lights OH is their stud....middles?

Northern Lights and Tornados? Two teams that battled in out for 9th and 10th in Club last year at JOs? Thanks goodness for the JVDA affect? And I can't find where EPIC was in any field last season.....other than that, your factual accuracy is excellent except for Invasion being in Bronze, not Silver at Lone Star. Do you want an analysis of the remainder of your list?

All in fun...

I guess I should create some formal guiding principles for "the 6". The first one will be that you must have a win v "the 6" to be in "the 6". Failing that, finishing ahead of one of "the 6" at a qualifier might be considered. So if I let you in I will have to let TAV Molten in and you can imagine all the flack I will get for letting a second team in. You know, Texas bias, JVDA effect, all that. Pretty soon all the national division teams will be mad at me. People are going to expect me to attend regionals this weekend. That's just too much for a simple dad and I really need to catch up on some golf and yard work

So until I have time to read some more articles as you suggest or see something at AAU "the 6" is "the 6".

...so how is AJV your #1 team after getting their hat handed to them by two other Qualified teams by the names to Sport Shack and KJ Baden, both finishing ahead of them at Far West....resulting in AJV finsihing 9th...same as Invasion at Lone Star...count all those strokes FORE!
