Bracky!!!!???................ Any updates on 12u rankings after AA's T4T's? We need something to stir the pot and entertain us through the rain.

He's still meeting with his elves, putting it all together to enjoy just in time for the holidays.

Bracketologist's 12u Top Team Ranking – UPDATED AFTER AA Toys for Tots!

Updated After American Athletics Toys for Tots Tournament

Learned a little more at AA’s T4T….but first I believe that we can use a reminder that the poll is for fun and is designed to recognize the effort and success of the players and not the parents. Remember that every team is comprised of kids not professional or even college level athletes – they play softball because it is fun and they enjoy the challenge that travel ball provides. Please do not call out other people’s kids (i.e., the pitcher on XYZ is not good enough for them ….), every player is doing their best.

Newcomers to the poll

30. So Cal Waves

Biggest gainers

17. Cal Thunder 97 (+5)
3. Valley Tribe 97 (+4)
6. Firecrackers 97 (+3)


I will update the 1st page with team websites and "job openings" (i.e., tryout dates) like last year!

Thanks for the fix Bracky! As usual, great job!

Thanks for the update Bracky, it will give everyone something to talk about this weekend since it seems like the weather is no going to permit any softball games this weekend.

Hmmmmm. Already in the third page of "view active topics".

Either there is consensus, or the Gay Softball thread must have generated more interest amongst the bucketheads.

Maybe, people aren't happy with the rankings
What else is there to think of the silence?

SoCal friends huge favor if possible. We are heading out to Corona, CA Saturday, Dec. 19th and need to come back to Texas for a clinic Tuesday, Dec. 29th. Are any of you 12U teams out there still working out? If you are can my daughter join in? I want to keep her somewhat sharp if possible before the clinic. It's a clinic that includes scrimmages so I really don't want her too look completely off. All help is appreciated.

We will be staying with family in Corona but I am willing to drive all over the OC and LA county.

Updated the "help wanted section" on the 1st page.

Coaches - if I have missed your team - send me PM with tryout/open workout date, location, time etc....

These are the privileges of making the top 30.
