Discussion: So Cal Championships

My appologies SSUSA Staff, I quickly looked at brackets to see rr and tournament head to head games. So when i didn't see them filled in I stopped looking.

Discussion: What is the Proper Ruling

here is my take.
We have a 40s league double header and often guys miss a night so it has been an unwritten rule to pick up. at some point all 6 teams have helped each other team out at least once.
The umpires allow this as we are limited. The rule stands though if the other team wants to protest they can and umpire will enforce the rule.

This never happens so its a blessing.

With the scenario you gave what would happen
in our league is simply TOUGH LUCK LESSON LEARNED. now there might be some words but otherwise its our fault for picking him up.

Asking the umpire to step in on an acceptable rule violation practice is silly.

Discussion: state directors changing rules

wanted some feedback so I will paint the picture.

played in phoenix this past weekend and very disappointed in how the tourney was run.

40+ had 8 teams, best turn out in a while. Coaches were told its 2 game round robin for seeding then double elim with 3GG. 4 teams go 2 and 0 and 4 0 and 2. Bracket is made and all 4 undefeated teams play each other. Why have seeding then?
when speaking to the director he says even if we went 0 and 2 we still would be in same upper part of bracket because we are all major and1 major+. The other teams are AAA. I asked is this there first time playing TD says yes (also asked teams). Then if your following SSUSA they are major. No they aren't as good as you guys so we made them aaa to be fair so they come back. I say last year we went 0 and 9 and you told us we had to play 3 qualifiers first before petitioning to drop. So why are they teams starting at aaa when that is not the rule? he says we are tried to build the 40s. Then why did you turn 2 40 teams down to play? not enough fields.
Ok so your not following SSUSA rules but are using their name to advertise right? no we are following the rules. how?

ok so how was that one team a major + team but another major + team was told they cant play. that other team is too good and we want this program to build.
Why did the major + team have to spot runs? because they are an upper team
Then why didn't we spot runs to the aaa teams if we are major? im not going to argue with you anymore.

Bottom line won or lost it was wrong, we beat the major plus team w/o taking the spot just couldn't wake up on sunday with the bats

What I want to know from you all is there something that can be done by SSUSA to make sure state directors follow national rules and not make their own up?
