Not sure how many understand how good the division they played in is. It could be argued that it was the better division. Wouldn't a top underclass team want to play in one of the countries top underclass tournaments.
BTW, they finished 2-2 and lost in the first Rd of the playoffs.

I guess it is semantics, if it's still based on age rather than graduation year, I think truth in advertising would lead me to bill it as a 16U tournament. The definition of Underclass is freshman and sophomores, this tournament probably had close to or as many 2018s (upperclassmen) than 2019/2020 players. The teams that went into bracket play and advanced typically were rostered with more upperclassmen than underclassnmen...again, I realize it's about the competition.
