Wildcats 12u Fall Ranking 2012

[Fastpitch4Life]

Why does everyone give OC Wildcat woman a Hard time ?

I know I had a little fun, but no hard time intended. It was nice of her(?) to put the ranking together, just as Juan Doe did for 10U last year. It's all good!

Why does everyone give OC Wildcat woman a Hard time ?

I think she did a good job keeping in line with Bracky's rankings. Mom - any word on a 14U ranking for spring?

Why does everyone give OC Wildcat woman a Hard time ?

Whenever you put yourself out there, you are inviting criticism. Instead of being permanently insulted, she listened and was patient. I think as a result of the input and her integrity she produced a very sound ranking. If she stays on the prudent path and limits parent contributions while emphasizing coaches’ opinions, she will maintain this fine product. I, for one am very appreciative and proud of her.

I agree OCwildcatMom did do a great job however always room for improvements such as:

1- Provide the number of ballots submitted (how many coaches responded?)
2- If you are going to list Fall Tourney wins list them all (CA Chip in for Toys and others missing)
3- Full Disclosure from OCwildcatMom - which team does DD "Wildcat" play for?

Clearly her DD plays for the OC Wildcats

Regarding the rankings, a few teams I have seen and would like some feedback on are the Combat Panthers, Cal Raiders(Bruder), and Cal Thunder-Michaels. What's the word on these teams because they looked solid when I saw them.

I am sure these are good teams, how ever everyone had an opportunity to cast a vote for them & none did. I think it might be they are playing the B circuit. Which in 12u is an absolute no no if you want to get noticed & compared to the big teams.

Who my DD plays for is her business and no one else's. I would hate for anything I did to effect her.

The Tournaments that we based the Poll off of were the 2 largest events in So Cal for the Fall. The Brenda Marsh & AA Toys for Tots have been considered the top 2 in the Fall for younger teams for quite some time.

As to the rest of you Sheesh you make wanna PUKE!! I am a big girl and need no protection. I am willing to stick my name well screen Name out there I better be able to handle any grumblings from the critics.

Thank you for the support & I hope you will continue be active heybucketeers.

The Combat Panthers, Cal Thunder - Michaels and CA Raiders are all solid teams. All 3 have good athletes and are well coached. Who knows why they didn't attend these specific tournaments in fall. Maybe they have girls playing other sports, maybe their organizations had planned fundraisers months in advance, maybe they wanted to minimize their costs and save funds for spring tourneys, maybe too many of the kids had family or church functions they had to attend that left the team short. Who knows? I understand those tourneys are where a lot of teams measure where they are in fall, it's possible they wanted to go and couldnt. Those three teams have a good group of girls and can compete well on any given weekend. That's just my take....didn't think the B circuit comment was warranted given their skill level and the fact that they have played pretty decent schedules in the past.

Thanks for the rankings. Your time and effort is appeciated.

Then you should have voted for them. Again I am sure they are all talented teams & deserving.
