Only 5 18U teams get to say they won their last tournament at this level. You need to qualify to be at PGF, and earn a bid to compete at Alliance.

Obviously Premier and Tier 1 are the most impressive but don't short the teams who won Platinum, Tier 2 or Tier 3. Odds are they competed against all of these teams at one point or another. And most of the players are moving on to the next level.

Stop bashing these 16, 17 & 18 year old kids.
