Reign is going into its 10th season and has consistently placed in the top 10 for Medium Coed and Small Coed since 2009. Most notably, placing 5th in the most competitive division in 2012 & 2013. Why would they dismantle a team that has its own legacy?
This isn't 2007, the focus is not on a premier team; but rather on creating multiple teams capable of winning their divisions. The move to medium will not be based on the lack of level 5 athletes, but on the ability to create the most skilled teams. The scoresheet's only getting harder, why stretch to get standard ranges with a team of 36 when you can score in the high ranges with a team of 30?
For someone who spends so much time on the boards, I'm surprised you couldn't figure out such simple logic.
