Strawman - that’s exactly the point...what makes your team so much better than the top 4 Flight2 teams that their weekend should be filled with playing Empire and OC2, but not yours?? And winning by 5, 7, 8 and 12 goals aren’t blowouts? But I guess you prefer your easy wins over Kings2 and Bears2 much better than playing the top 4 Flight2 teams where the games wouldn’t be so easy. SkatingDad is right on point.
I'm sorry, but you must have me confused with someone else. My kid doesn't play in either bantam flight so I have no particular axe to grind. Last year his team was stuck in Flight 2 and we found it incredibly frustrating, mainly because there was no meaningful playoff spot to compete for. But to be honest, if they had been in Flight 1 they might have lost every game they played, which would have been miserable too. So as far as "competitiveness" is concerned, if I'm being completely honest, they were slotted correctly.
Note that my post said I do not like the flight system, so I don't know how you could conclude that I support it, except that you can't read or just want to hear yourself bloviate. But the idea that the flight system leads to more "blowouts" and fewer "competitive" games than the alternative (which is the only point to which I was responding) is complete and utter nonsense.
