Can someone explain how Chicago Classics Gray can win the Worlds in Seattle last month and retain their AA rating in Fort Myers, while Western Michigan who finished second and was bumped up to AAA?

I think they are just slow upgrading teams. Detroit Jaguars won NSA Worlds AAA and they a are still AAA. Max Spice won Vegas they are still AAA. If you look at all the winners not all of them have been moved yet. It is a good system but I do not think communication between associations is very good. At the Eastern Regionals we were told Geckle Builders (Great Team!!!) were being moved up to Majors, and it has not happened yet.

My Mistake!!! Max Spice has been moved up to Major, but they have been put into the 55+ by mistake. They won the Vegas 50+ this year.

Thanks for the info. But it looks like Chicago Classics Gray was moved up to AAA on the latest revision for Fort Myers.

Jrhunch,

Good for you. If everyone who knows they belong in another division would do the same, we wouldn’t have these classification problems. Good luck next year.
