Discussion: Southern California State Championship

As a Phoenix, Az based team and it being a 4 1/2 hr to 5 hr drive do we know how soon schedule will be out as my guys are trying to figure if we need to get a hotel for Thursday night or we can drive in Friday morning. Just looking at start times for Fridays games ????

I asked this same question 3 weeks ago and was told we won't know til it gets closer to tournament. Being from Phoenix I don't want to stay in Hemet if we're playing in Cathedral City.

Discussion: Playing back to a lower class

Here's my point i'm trying to get across. If I play 3 (RR) games against AAA teams that's 15 runs I'm giving up. Extra runs. Another Major team only plays 2 of 3 (RR) games against AAA teams they're only giving up 10 runs so I'm getting penalized (5 runs) which could mean the difference in being seeded 1st in bracket play or 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. So when bracket play starts I would be getting screwed as seeding goes by Runs Scored Against because of playing an additional AAA team. It's not Runs Scored Against, they were not scored, they were given to that team. In this case you should not be penalized for this.

Dave Dowell here's a point I'm trying to make. When we get mixed together for weekend tournaments and my team as a Major team plays 3 AAA teams that's 15 extra runs I'm giving to the tiebreaker of runs scored against when another Major team only plays 1 or 2 AAA teams. All I'm asking is how is this fair to playing down in another class. I'm all for the 5 runs but penalizing us twice by taking away our HR's too is not right. Thoughts ????

Obviously this conversation is going nowhere. I'm done with this discussion. You're making points about a tournament where you play all teams in your class and this scenario doesn't happen. C'mon Tim.

Isn't giving up 5 runs and taking away 3 HR's the same thing. Why don't you just give them 8 runs right off the start. You're taking everything from upper class teams. I'm simply asking how this is fair for a upper class teams. Common Sense people, Common Sense :-)

I'm not angry Tim it's just frustrating going to tournaments and playing out of class until it's time for your Elimination games start. So let's reward a team for playing great and move them up only to tell them your going back to your old rules for these games. Just my opinion that something needs to be discussed. I've talked teams in my area and we all feel the same way. I'm merely suggesting to look at this rule in the future.

Well Timmy you’re kidding me right. So let’s handicap the upper class teams by taking away an additional 3 (solo’s) or 12 (grand slams) runs. Your not taking away only 5 runs but 8-12 runs possibly.

Why is it that you think your getting rewarded for being moved up in class (i.e. AAA to Major) but in all reality when you play locally (usually) in your home state and don't have enough teams in your class you get mixed in with lower level classes. What I'm trying to say is when your a Major team playing back to AAA you give up 5 runs which I'm okay with but it's the only being allowed the 3 HR's instead of the usual 6 HR's. So in fact your giving up 8 runs minimum if those 3 HR's are solo shots. I just don't feel you should be giving up both runs & HR's. Your taking your team out of there element of swinging away and now not having that choice. This rule seriously needs to be changed in some form or another. Thoughts ?????

You guys should go to Victory Lane Park this weekend for a Senior Tournament and talk to people. Some teams are always looking.
