Posted | Discussion |
Jan. 29 SSUSA Staff 3505 posts | The following list reflects the semi-annual SSUSA Ratings Review Report, for January, 2013. There are 187 teams affected by this review; by far the largest number of team rating decisions ever. The team rating changes are based on an an increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive team-performance review. Using the SSUSA computer Ratings/Results program that we developed, we have been able to review in-depth all teams for all games played in SSUSA events in recent years. We have also received recommendations from key National Ratings Advisors accross the country - and several managers. In addition, we have changed some key rules to make the divisions more competitive, which especially affected teams in the AAA division. __________ MEN’S 40-MASTERSAPPEAL DECISION – • Magic Sports Unforgiven (CA) – Denied (remains Major+) PERFORMANCE MOVES UP – MAJOR to MAJOR PLUS • Above & Beyond Plumbing (CA) • San Diego VFW (CA) • TPS (CA) – Automatic: Won World Masters Championships ("WMC") AAA to MAJOR • Phoenix Tube 40's (NJ) – Automatic: Won WMC • RTS (AZ) PERFORMANCE MOVES DOWN – MAJOR to AAA • Hawaiians 40 (HI) • Showtime/Titan Trucking (NJ) MEN’S 50+APPEALS DECISIONS – • DT Express (GA) – Denied (remains Major) • East Bay Oldies (CA) – Denied (remains Major+) • Florida Automated Shade – Denied (remains Major) • Gutty’s Buddies (MN) – Granted (moves to AAA) • K.
