| Sept. 7, 2004 RAG 12 posts | RATINGS QUESTION! WHY IS THERE ONLY A 3 MEMBER BOARD TO REVIEW AND MAKE RATING DECISIONS? ALSO WE ARE A O.K. AAA TEAM AND A GOOD AA TEAM AND HAVE NEVER WON A NATIONAL TOURNEY AND JUST BECAUSE WE WON A QUALIFIER WE WERE BUMP UP LAST YEAR. THIS DON'T MAKE SENSE I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO WIN A NATIONAL TOURNEY OR AT LEAST COME IN SECOND OR THIRD TO GET BUMPED UP. ONE OF THE QUALIFIERS WE ONE WAS IN VEGAS AND THERE WAS ONLY 3 OTHER TEAMS BESIDES US. CAN'T SEE HOW A COMMITTEE CAN GO BY THAT! THAT YEAR WE WON ONE OTHER QUALIFIER! WE NEVER GOT TO PLAY A NATIONAL TOURNEY IN AA STANDINGS. PLEASE GIVE ME A REASONABLE ANSWER! THANKS |
| Sept. 7, 2004 crusher Men's 75 524 posts | RAG, a double-A team I played with 4 years ago was bumped to AAA as we left for the nationals. We had played 4 years in 55 as AA and never won a national tour. Some times you get bumped up because you tick someone off (that is what happened to us). Sometimes you beat a team and they fuss to the 'raters'. Then sometimes a team has picked up some additional players from an upper division, say 3 or 4 AAA players, this can get you bumped up. You can protest via writing to get bumped back down. You need a good reason. Also call the org where you are playing tour's. The time for a protest may have passed for this year. C.
