Angels are state champs. Texas Glory 99 are the Metro Champs.

No that is not the way it works. You are Dallas Metro Champs. Angels are Houston Metro Champs. Phantomz are ASA State Champs because not every team is allowed to play in that one. It is not a "true" ASA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. What I mean by "true" is that if ASA had one Texas STATE ASA that all Texas teams could attend that would be a "true" tournament. The fact that not all Texas or even Houston teams can compete in it makes it false. Houston has Metro and Dallas has Metro. Only the team from Dallas are allowed to play in Dallas Metro, and certain Houston teams are allowed to play in Houston Metro. Phantomz would not be allowed to play in Houston Metro because they are allowed to play in Texas State ASA. Regionals anyone from the Texas area can come play in that, except I believe the teams able to play in Texas State ASA. There is another Regional they are allowed to go to if they do not qualify in the Texas State ASA tournmanet I believe.

Look at it this way. Phantomz didn't even place in the top 3 for USFA STATE, the teams that beat them were not allowed to play in ASA STATE and they ended up winning that tournament. Had the other teams been able to play in it there is a good chance they woulnd't have been TEXAS ASA STATE CHAMPS even adding their new Mizuno players.
