i feel that you can't say you're the best until you beat, or at least compete against, the best (which can sometimes be the rest). {did not mean to rhyme}. for example, the NFL could not actually say it was the best until it competed against the AFL, or NBA vs. ABA, or even universities admitting women and minorities into their programs. if your competition is limited, than are you really competing against the best to be considered the best? with that being said however, it is at times difficult to have NPHC teams compete against non-NPHC teams b/c of some of the unspoken rules that apply to NPHC teams and not non-NPHC teams, such as Nupes stepping with canes. you most likely wont see Omegas or Alphas step with them b/c they are considered the "NUPEs thing", likewise with the Omegas sitting on the chest of another Omega and stepping, or the Alphas doing their train. other NPHC teams won't do some of these moves b/c they are somewhat off limits, but non-NPHC teams probably will b/c to them it is fair game. which can be seen as an unfair advantage b/c they get to take, use, and "remix" other NPHC moves. it becomes a situation of do the "unspoken" rules apply to them since they are not NPHC.
