| Oct. 19, 2014 lewis 49 posts | Player rating Dave, If a player plays 65 major can he also play 55 AA. Thanks Steve Brown Desperados |
| Oct. 19, 2014 LP 317 posts | lewis there is a catch if you play in a division 10 years younger than you. you need to talk to George at SSUSA before you do it. |
| Oct. 19, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | YES ... Both 65-Major and 55-AA carry a Team/Player History Ratings Index of five (5) ... LP: The "catch" is only if there is a disparity in the respective Rating Index numbers (there is not in the hypothetical stated) ... If any doubt, though, please DO call George or Tiffany in Sacramento at (916) 326.5303 to confirm ... |
| Oct. 20, 2014 LP 317 posts | SSUSA -- THE reason I said there might be a catch is I know a 60 major player went and played for a 50 major team in vegas, and when the coach of the 60's team went add him to the winter world tournament he was kicked off the rooster for playing for the 50;s team, But as I understand it he can play for the 60's team but the coach has to call in to ssusa for every tournament to put him on the roster. |
| Oct. 20, 2014 smooth01 Men's 50 128 posts | I would like to see the players rating chart posted in the banner heading above under "ratings" for permanent reference for everyone to be able to view,This might clear up some questions in reference to player eligibility. |
| Oct. 21, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | LP ... Your "catch" is different because the player involved has played "out of rating" by two levels (50-Major=8 / 60-Major=6) and requires a manual roster override each time because he is being granted an exception for the maximum of one time having done so ... In the hypothetical stated, the Rating Index numbers are identical and it has nothing to do with being a 10-year age difference ... |

| Oct. 21, 2014 lewis 49 posts | Thank you SSUSA staff. Steve Brown Desperados 55 |
| Oct. 23, 2014 boston Men's 60 355 posts | This is very interesting. How does a player that played in this years Worlds at 50-M, 60-M and 55-AA pull this off? I just finished playing 55-M at Worlds but am 60. So I take it I am am classified as a 60-M player. As I see it, I am able to play any of the 50's or 55's divisions. Since they are less than 2 ratings index below |
| Oct. 23, 2014 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | Tony-since you played 55-M, that is your rating. That allows you to only play 60 M+, 55-M, or 50AAA to be an even across rating. You could play 55-M+, or 50-M, or 50-M+ as they are a step up from your rating. I believe teams are allowed 3 players from a higher division, but only one level, so you could also play 55-AAA, or 50-AA. Am I right, Dave? |
| Oct. 23, 2014 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | By the way, I know this because in my rehab from the total knee replacement, several teams of friends asked me to play even knowing I was not full strength. I would like to thank the Universal Lending Lasers, 50-AAA, Rio Grande 55's-55-M, and Chain Link-60-M+ for giving me the opportunity to play this year with them. I had a lot of fun and got to know a lot of class players that I had barely known, a lot better. Thanks! |
| Oct. 25, 2014 17Black Men's 60 414 posts | I might be missing something, but can SSUSA POST this chart someplace as a link on the main-web-site??? So anybody can access it anytime, all the time? I overheard several guys in a fall ball league a couple nights ago, trying to figure out where they can play in different age divisions. This would be helpful. MAYBE under the "Ratings" Tab already on this site? |
| Oct. 25, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | The Ratings Index Chart has been modified (for inclusion of the new 85+ Division and clarified for Player Eligibility) and uploaded to the RULES page of this website ... Access from Main Menu bar above through: TOURNAMENTS ► RULES ► Click on link near bottom of page ... |
| Oct. 27, 2014 Norcalviejo Men's 65 14 posts | Hi Staff - Please confirm if I am interpretting this correctly. Can a player rated 60 Major play 55 AAA without counting towards one of the three Major rated players allowed? Thank you |
| Oct. 27, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | Norcalviejo: YES ... We do not rate players, but a player who has 60-Major team history experience IS ALLOWED to play 55-AAA, if he is otherwise eligible as to residency and player-release status because both team rating level index numbers = 6 ... That player does NOT constitute being an "out of rating" player on the destination team's roster ... |
| Oct. 27, 2014 Norcalviejo Men's 65 14 posts | Hi Staff, Thanks for the quick response. So the player in question is 60 for 2015 with 55 Major history, no 60 Major history. So would he still be considered not "out of rating"? |
| Oct. 27, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | That change in the fact pattern, which was NOT what was originally defined in your hypothetical, MAY change the allowable options for both the player and the teams ... Please call George at the SSUSA office and make the specific inquiry, including the player and team names in question so he can give you a definitive, and binding, answer ... |
