That grade scale was developed/used by the ranking guru, Bracketologist.
Only 1 B+ team, no B's and 2 B-'s? Seems like either someone is stingy with the grades or this year's top 12u teams are head and shoulders above the rest. Are TM-Briggs or SCB-Steele the only teams capable of beating the top 4 in a bracket game?
Bracky's keys to success at 12u Nationals:
1. One top 10% pitcher - must have the ability to kept her team in any game (cause everyone knows the bats will go dead during at least 2 games at Nationals)(with 1 pitcher team needs to stay out of the losers bracket until sunday).
2. Solid defense - must be one of the better fielding teams.
3. An offensive that has 3 threats (big bats or above good speed).
