Many of the bigger clubs now use Elite for their top regional teams, so in regards to those "similar types" they are elite. NEFC has now also gone to this format, and no longer use Elite for their top overall teams. Now they do what most of the other clubs do for those true top teams... use the League (ECNL, NPL or DA) to label them.
