How did you come to the conclusion that gold qualifiers are not championship play?
I’m hearing second hand information/decisions that support this, however, I’m not finding this in the code.
"Article 508 LEVELS OF CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY. The following are levels of championship
play:
B. National Qualifiers. The association shall conduct national qualifiers in the
following divisions of championship play.
01. Junior Olympic Girls’ Gold 18-Under, Class A 18-Under, 16-Under, 14-Under,
12-Under, 10-Under Fast Pitch."
You just answered your own question. You stated Classifier and bolded Qualifier. They are two different tournaments. The classifier is only to classify a team as Gold. Once the are classified as Gold, they can now go to the Qualifier to gualify for Nationals.
