USFA The Good The Bad and the UGLY

[USFA]

We allow our teams to classify themselves! But we will reclassify them if needed! Our directors responibilty is to not allow an "A" team to play in the "B" tournament. I have seen 1st year teams that need to play "A" and I have sen 2nd year teams that should play "C", i disagree with age pure to classify teams.

I personaly move 5 10U teams to the "A" last year nd will do so again this year if needed. we also have a policy that says if a team plays in any organizations "A" state they may be moved to our "A".

Please send me a list of the "A" teams listed in our "B" tournament, so I can watch their progress this year and reclassify them if needed. Send the list to bobbyhair@usfastpitch.com.

Bobby, do teams carry over their point s from the previous year? If not how do teams have 6-700 points in mid-February? I see a "B" team listed w/795 points in the World Series and we aren't even in March.

They carry over points from Sept-Dec if they're earned in the same age classification.

3008: A player’s age on December 31st of the previous calendar year determines the age classification in which the player is eligible to participate. Teams are no longer required to Age-Up in the Fall, however, those teams playing between September 1st and December 31st must re-register in the age classification they will play the following season to receive points toward the following years State and National events.

Gotta love it - the team with the highest point total, by a large margin, is playing 8u Coach Pitch. Are the college scouts tracking them yet?

If you host a tournament, you also receive a rather large number of points as well as being able to carry over points earned from Sept. of last year to the current.

It does not mean that you are a very good team however, If you only play USFA events, you will naturally build up a lot of points, go to the World Series as a possible top 5 seed and be a 2 and Que candidate!

there is also an error in our database that I have reported to the people that maintain the database it will be corrected before the World Series.
