With two on this subject from the same team, I'm sure should bring a responce, you both are writing about the same thing, there should be some validity.
I hope your not placed there as a sacrificial lamb (team) just to fill a slot. That would be even worse.
If you (mgr) uses the process, from what I see and others will as well, I'm sure you this will be corrected. Unless, however there is some thing somewhere we do not know, that they are taking into account. But to be rated AA in June and then again AAA in Aug, just doesn't, on the outside of the box, look so good.
Also, I don't think the caps will help. but, I sort of, don't balme you.
I'd be pissed too.

You are right on this one Doker. Best to drop out and demand your money back. They understand dollars and cents.

Perhaps it's one way to bring in another team, right or wrong, into that bracket to get another team in. IE: now thew have 4 teams instead of only 3. ???
Kinda like having a tournament schedule set up at the beginning f the year and then change it about a week before the scheduled one. It Sucks
