I'm going to take a stab in the dark here and guess that perhaps players START in the A-team? Although I'm not sure. Nada, HuK and ReT are the most recent additions to the house/oGs so perhaps that's why they're in red? Or that they're in danger of relegation. Then again, Nada in danger of being relegated to... kicked out of oGs? xD

No it's not like that, you do start in B, but it is important to note that the A and B team doesn't work like it does in BW. In BW it is really like a set team, a lot like football where you don't just swap people around all the time but look for a very stable setting.
So promoting someone to A or demoting someone to B is a big deal in traditional team sports because you need to have a stable team as they work together in matches. As a result the A and B teams are split up and it's a big deal to get into A or go down to B. As for the way it works in our house they just exist so that on average people play more within their skill level, and because the group of players is too large for everyone to play everyone in ranking matches.
Therefor we are able to promote and demote players based on results of a short time period. That's why you sometimes hear Jinro made it up to the A team and then the next time he is in B again. There's a group of players that go up and down a lot, not quite able to dominate the A team on a weekly basis but good enough to put up consistent winning records in the B team. So you see someone in B, he may have been A yesterday and the other way around. It's just a very brief glimpse in time. You see someone in A every single week and you know he's crushing souls.
