I don't mean to start any crap with this, I'm just curious about the mindset.
If Cyclone would be considered one of the best Amateur teams in Millenium, then why would they register as Novice in the 5-Man, and in Div 2 (Novice) in the X-ball format at the World Cup?
I'm not sure, and I didn't check, but maybe they played in the Am-B class in Millenniums and not the Am class. If that is the case, it makes perfect sense.
And just for the record, Cyclone isn't breaking any rules by entering the Novice class in the US. It just seems strange that they would do so if they have proven to be competitive in a higher classification all year.
