That's kind of weird because the NCHL will often start good teams really low just because they're new to the league, and the HNA prides themselves on not doing that, and instead asking the GM to submit his roster with each player's age, highest level of hockey played, and how many years it's been since they played.
Then they try and place you as best they can, and in fact they actually enjoy doing it and see how well they can place teams, aka not have to move them up or down after the seeding round.
It's also strange they would do that because in the summer the seeding round is 5 games out of 15, which means you could play the first game, win 10 - 0 (the game ends if you're up by 10 goals, and honestly if you have good players this will likely happen, as the teams I see listed in the lowest division are true beginner teams), know that you don't belong, and yet still have to play a third of your season in that division. They won't move you until the seeding round ends.
