Teams Moving Up in Age Divisions

[Sftbll4ever]

Just want to understand the reasoning of moving up to the next age division if you can still/should stay down.

I have seen some teams that can barely compete at their own age division and then decide to move. I can think of a few teams who are 14u going to 18u. 14u going to 16u and 16u going to Gold.

Wouldn't it be better to at least play your division and somewhat compete than to move up and look bad?

Sorry, just wondering what the thought process behind it is.

Really Wish our Gold could move down to 14U after the waxing by a 16U move-upper last W/E.
