Wildcats 12u Fall Ranking 2012

[OCwildcatMom]

*Note 90% of ballots were cast by coaches*


Group A - The Favorite Top Contenders – Going to ASA Nationals or Premier to win it all. Have the ability to survive a hard bracket and still win it all.

Group B+ - The Bracket Dependent Contenders – Can win it all but it will take a bit of bracket luck. Not a Top Contender because they are susceptible to B+, B & C+ teams but they can beat an A team.

Group B - The Spoilers – Don’t have enough to win it all but can send an A or B+ team home or to the losers bracket. Playing on Sunday (ASA & PGF Nationals) and a solid top ten finish are the ultimate goal.

Group C+ - Very good teams that will need to play their A game to make it to Sunday (ASA & PGF Nationals). No C+ team has made the final eight at Nationals. These teams will cause some pain for a couple of B+ or B teams but not enough to make the final 4. Playing with the final 12 is the goal! C+ teams attending Western Nationals or TCS World Series are the favorites!

Group C - Very good teams that are a bit too hot and cold to be a C+ team (i.e., inconsistent). Playing on Saturday night is the main goal for these teams at ASA Nationals. Those attending Western Nationals will be labeled a top Contender!

And the interesting thing is those selections were done before your rankings. Just had not announced them.

Wonder how much time PGF spent trying to figure out which 12U team to invite from SoCal? Let's see a Batbuster team, a Corona Angel team and a Firecracker team?

Congrats to the SoCal Athletics and SoCal Breakers - it appears having SoCal in your name and winning a fall tourney pays off with PGF!

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.

Why does everyone give OC Wildcat woman a Hard time ?
