Maybe it should be played before Winter Nationals so teams go in with the players they qualified with. How does a team win a National Tournament, get moved up in a Division, except for Major Plus and then play down again with players that never played in the qualifying tournament? Also, I see all these teams that won tournaments. I assume they are all moving up to the next level for 2008. Mike Santo Manager of the new Sweet Construction 55 team.
Nov. 30, 2007 taits Men's 65 4000 posts	I'd be surprised if all the teams that play in SSUSA's tournaments were polled or asked, via their, managers, that they would like to keep it as it is. Though I have never been to one, I wouldn't want to go two or more months later from my last tournament anywhere or played played. Too much of a chance pulling something. Coupled with teams reorganising for the new year players may of moved on. Before the Win. Natl's or about two weeks after, is good.
