I think you want to push your team... but not all the time and every tournament.
"B" teams/coaches know they are a "B" team. I don't think it is about winning so much to say... but to be able to play against "equal" competition every once in awhile would be nice as a "B" team. The kids don't need to get a clobbered weekend after weekend. I think when you get older... after 14u ( not 13u) you want to play good competition and if you are a "B" at this age level.... then go hit the National Eastern Regionals / "B" Eastern Regionals for your final event if you can financially. Then you are "READY" based on you have been playing up all year and prepared yourself for the National event just like anyone else.
