Define tiering. Do it. I dare you!

Consider this conversation… it may sound familiar.

“Do you tier in Novice?”
“No we don’t”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes I am. We don’t have Novice A, B and C”
“So all of the Novice teams in your provinces can attend the same tournaments?”
“Well, all but one tournament.”
“Really, which one is that?”
“We have an Super Elite Novice tournament at the end of the season where the best from each association come together to compete in this tournament.”
“Super Elite hey? Sounds like something you’d hear during the pre-boarding announcement of an Air Canada flight.”

The question that comes out of all of this is… What defines a tier?

MON SPORT. MA PASSION.
