Did you know? The Stingers have beat some top teams. They should be ranked higher than any team they have ever beat.

Nice job Brackey- lot of hype but good poll and ranking. May be the best ranking so far, and hopefully you have not peaked too soon. Very solid ranking- you put a few scares to all "rankers"

JK- really great job.... it would be fun to see more of the pollsters/coaches comments!

It simply does not matter if a team has beaten some of the top teams in friendlies or in 1 tourney.... this poll is geared to who is most likely to qualify for and contend at Nationals. The important component is the Teams grade (A, B+ & B) and not their ranking.

Example: B Teams – Can only win ASA Nationals if they get hot and they get lucky (i.e., a great draw)! They can beat A teams in friendlies but struggle beating them in tournaments. B teams can and will eliminate B+ Teams but they would be hard press to win a tournament that requires them to beat three B+ Teams in a row!

The question about the Stingers is: Have they won three games in a row in a significant tournament (with ASA time length games) against A & B+ teams back to back to back in any order? I like the Stingers but if their draw at State requires them to beat the three below teams in back to back to back games to qualify for Nationals.... the Stingers along with the majority of the Grade B and below teams will be going home without a berth.

American Pastime 97 B+
O.C. Batbusters Snow A
OC Batbusters Ray A

OR

Team Anderson 97 (Sota) A
San Diego Aztecs B+
Corona Angels - Lockman – Grade A

So then any team that has beat them should be ranked above them???
Which also means any team that has beat a team that beat them should be ranked above them and so on...

Brackey,

I didn't realize that my posting was going to create such a riot, I apologize, you are doing a great job. I was simply trying to give my girls the props they deserved, they are a good group of kids that sooner or later will be making a name for themselves which will ultimately eliminate the need for "self promotion".

All teams on your rankings are very good and I certainly did not intend to offend any one of them. Keep up the good work!.
