| May 6, 2014 Jonesy Men's 50 1 posts | Atlantic Coast Championship Omega IT Services LLC was entered into the Atlantic Coast Championship next weekend in Louden Va. We got a call from the assocation that we cannot play 55 Major because we are a 55 Major Plus team and that we are to strong of a team. In order for us to participate in this tournament we have to play 50 Major or get a refund. My concern is if we played 55 Major teams would have the option to hace 11 defensive players or 5 runs per game.I have a concern about the perception of Unequal Treatment. |
| May 6, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | Your perception is incorrect as to "Unequal Treatment" (although we are unclear exactly in what context you make the assertion) ... Your team, at 55-Major Plus, carries a Ratings Index of 8, which is identical to the Rating Index of a 50-Major team, also an 8 ... We routinely offer any "singleton" team, meaning the only team entered in your age group and rating, one of three options, at your sole discretion ... Those options are: [1] Play in the equivalent ratings index group for fairness of competition; [2] play "EXHIBITION" with the lower rated teams, where you are guaranteed your five games, but are seeded last and cannot advance in the bracket; or [3] withdraw from the tournament and receive a full refund (or a full entry fee credit to a future event) ... You declined options [1] and [2] ... We stand by our decision to not have you play 55-Major because it would present an unfair disadvantage to those teams ... |
| May 6, 2014 Mr. Manassas 244 posts | Is that what you are doing with Hamels in 65s......I would think they pose a danger to the other 65 s in Loudoun. |
| May 6, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | Hamel Builders/Superior 65's are playing with the highest remaining rated teams, the 65-Major, and giving the equalizer because there is no equivalent younger rating group to play ... We are also protecting the 65-Major teams in the event that Hamel's wins, by awarding the runner-up team with 1st place awards and the 65-Major TOC bid ... These are not identical circumstances ... |
