Winning 10/10 placement matches = Placed in Bronze/Silver :'(
Let's say you're a freshman in high school and your team (for whatever sport you like or play) sucks horribly. So you're ranked in the bottom bracket.
Sophomore year comes around and you play 10 games to determine your ranking at the start of the season. Because your team failed so horribly last year, you're going to be put up against 10 freshman teams. You win all 10 games.
Should your team be placed in Varsity League? No!
Now you need to prove that you can handle the freshman teams that won 10/10 games before you are allowed to challenge sophomore teams and begin your divisional ladder climb.
