12U Team Ranking(Bracketologist) Pre NATIONALS -7/13/ Update

[SoftballCoach67]

So the top 24 teams from this poll will be invited to play in the Bracky tourney or from a later poll? I'm asking because I think there are a few teams ranked below the top 24 that can play. With the Bracky tourney being so far away there will be a lot of changes from now until June.

I agree that there are some teams below #24 that deserve to play in the tournament. I will be updating the poll in mid March so it is possible that some teams will become eligible by moving up in the poll. For TCS the teams grade (A, B+, B etc.) is more important then the poll ranking.

The easiest way for a team ranked below 24 to make the tournament, play in a power pool with the top teams and have a 1st round guaranteed bye is enter the TCS Santa Clarita Open tournament 4-28/29 and place 1st or 2nd.

See TCS website for full details on how to earn a spot into the tournament.

Bracky - Maybe i missed this in a previous post, but how is the team grade calculated?

Added the definitions on 1st page – for 12U the grades are 100% subjective (i.e., I know it when I see it). Since the poll started in 2007 every ASA Nationals champion has had an A grade…. I’m still waiting for the 1st so cal B+ team to make the finals at ASA Nationals. An B+ or B team winning Nationals is most likely to happen at PGF Nationals with its stupid blind draw system. Under PGF’s blind draw format the 2011 NCAA tournament could’ve had Arizona State (1), Florida (4), Alabama (2) & Missouri (5) playing in the same Regional.......

Thanks for the definitions Bracky. That helps. One last question: why are some teams still a TBD (e.g., Powersurge 99, Strike Force 99, and USA Athletics 99), but some lower teams already have their grades?

Are those teams still in the "too early to tell" category?

There will still be some changes to teams grades - I usually change the grades when a new poll is published. Yes Teams TBD = "too early to tell".
