Discussion: How does a Team rated as a Major win a AAA world tounament

The Oregon Crab won Reno and Worlds this year in the 65 AAA classification. They are a very good team and a good group of guys. The Crab were rated as a 65 Major in March 0f 2015. Is this a TYPO ? Is this a different groups of Crabs ? Can SSUSA staff provide some clarification ? Happy New Years !!!!!!!!!!!!

this may be a re-post, I posted once before and never saw on this site
They don't, except in the realm of inaccurate factual representations ...

OREGON CRABS TEAM RATING HISTORY - Accurate rating history and dates of changes follow ...
• 03/15/2015 - 60-AAA (as Trachsel Auto Body)
• 10/14/2016 - 65-AAA (as Traschel Auto Body II)
• 01/06/2017 - 65-AAA (as Oregon Crabs 65)
[Team won 65-AAA in Reno and Las Vegas while 65-AAA]
• 10/09/2017 - 65-Major (automatic bump for World Masters title)

website error then caused problem because it does state they were rated major on March 20, 2017.
JBTexas ... That's March of 2015 and not 2017 ... But it's still very strange! ... The Oregon Crabs name didn't come into existence until January 2017 ... Previously, there were the Trachsel Auto Body (I and II) ... Their team page shows three ratings for them, all on 03/20/2015, at 60-Major, 50-Major and (lastly) 60-AAA until they aged up to 65's, also at AAA, on 10/14/2016, and changed their name to Oregon Crabs on 01/06/2017 ...
