I look at it... let them put us where they want... than we will upset them all... matters not to me what others think, because they don't know how the team is run or what's put into the team... so these are just pointless guesses in my opinion

Really? You're surprised that people aren't falling over themselves to endorse a team that played in AA last season?

This ^
I wouldn't stress it too much though....after a strong showing against BLPP, I would think more people will know about your team come midseason when the real games start.

I think there needs to be a re-count
That, or the voters need to be drug tested.
Seriously. Here's a little trivia for all you newcomers... between the Hustlers, the Warlords, and the Warriors, which team did the Bats NOT dominate last season? The answer is none of them. We put up 40 points on each of them and only the Warlords lost by less 30.
That was only 1 season...

Newcomers are pretty much always underrated in these polls and the Sting are doubly penalized since even the AAA teams aren't familiar with them. Personally I'd probably rank you guys about 5th or 6th in your conference.
Unfortunately your schedule is pretty weak to start the season, so it will be a while before the Sting get a real chance to prove themselves.

TBH why the hell is Pa Dong Dragons 5th? We should be 6th, if not 7th right now? We haven't beat krungthep since season 6 and lost to them in the playoffs that season as well. Also Duluth is playing lights out....
I am coming out with a week 1 power rankings as well...it will be quite different from the one before preseason

Sumatra has looked pretty good in pre-season.
Close games against Bandar and Singapore.

You still handled your business even if it is just preseason. I am just pointing it out, that I really don't know how PDD got a high spot. O well though....
Sumatra Sting are looking very good. Can I say that I am glad they are in Garuda? Also Buddhists, Mountain Men and Northern Lights have looked like legitimate threats as well for Naga

You say that like a good team can't come out of AA. Sure, very few could but think about the promoted teams, everyone always thinks/knows most of the teams are not going to be able to carry on their success at the next level but there is usually at least one team that makes everyone in the League regret underestimating them or sometimes even just shocked that they could have.

The chances of a great team coming from AA to Pro in South East Aisa is pretty damn low. Sumatra could very well be an exception to the rule. Have not seem them play yet. But have seen final scores against 2 decent teams and seem to look for real. Just sayin.

You have to earn it. You play well in the regular season, make the playoffs, and most importantly not gut, you'll get respect. If not, you'll be like the many, many other teams that have moved up and failed. Im not saying you are good or bad, but theres no reason you should be ranked over any team thats already played a season here and has shown there stuff. but you'll have your chance soon enough to climb the rankings
