| July 14, 2012 Allan55 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOURNAMENT WINNER AUTO MOVEUP I have listened to numerous ideas players have for improving the method of moving teams up the latter. Although I understand them,I feel the problem is with the system. For example, the M+ divisions are highly competitive. You can hit 12 homers in a game and score up to 9 runs in an inning (this is too many...it should be 7). In the M division you can only hit 7 homers and score up to 5 runs in an inning. That is too much of a gap to bridge. The best M teams would have to drop a number of players to be competitive on a week to week basis in order to compete with the M+ teams. My suggestion would be to change the M division rules to 9 homers and 7 runs (if you were going to keep the number of runs per inning at 9 for M+). The M teams would then be able to learn to play the power game the M+ teams display and be more competitive. All the divisions would have to be altered to provide teams with progressive steps. I don't feel the current steps are working. |
| July 13, 2012 Allan55 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Combining M & M+ I agree with Tim. In order to level the playing field between M and M+ teams, you must reduce the players M+ teams have to choose from. Larger states should be divided and players should be choosen from the state (eliminate the bordering state players). I know this will not make everyone happy...but I believe some concessions must be made in order to strenghten our program from a competitive standpoint. |
