Looks like a three tier system to me.
The first tier would include those that made the Gold Nationals last year (Babes, Ultimate Gold and the Tulsa Eagles)
The second tier includes the very few other teams that might, if everything falls perfect for one weekend, have a chance to squeak out a berth this year at one of the qualifiers.
And finally, the third tier is for the teams that will get their girls some "Gold Exposure" heading to the qualifiers and Exposure tournaments, but will have hard time winning a game in the qualifier bracket games.
I'll let you guys decide which teams belong in the second and third tiers.
The poll only allowed ten teams, so there are other "Gold" teams not on the list, to include Dynamites Badside, Ultimate (Hauck), Diamonds Gold and others.
I wanted to do an 18-U A poll, but it gets confusing with all the 16's playing up. Besides I have an 18-under team and that might not work too well. On that note, there a few 18-under teams that don't call themselves Gold, but can play with the third tier and sometimes the second tier.
