Discussion: Move Ups in SPA & impact player list

Hey has anybody check out the move ups on SPA & the impact player list. More Major Teams
Such a long way to go!
Yes Bruce such a long way to go but its a start, right bro.......Semper Fi
Gunny now there enough teams around to have a good tourney. best of luck to southern elite this year. later
Hey guys I checked out the SPA team rating update today and see they have moved my team up to Majors. Does winning one tournament in a season with only 2 teams in your division qualify you to be moved up???? Don't quite understand this.
Bruce-was it your teammate that condemned me to that list? I have spent a lot of time trying to stay off the major players list so I can play in Albuquerque when I get the chance. One tournament did it? Whew. LOL
Ha ha, I don't know for sure but the one you are talking about is in charge of the Impact Players List.
You're right, being on the IPL is the kiss of death.
I wonder how long it will be before SPA will realize it is detrimental to the major and major plus programs.
After seeing this thread I went to the other association's site to check it out. I have to say that I don't agree with imposing a limit of "impact" players on a Major+ team is the right thing to do.

This is just my opinion, but if Major+ is your top division - i.e. your top hitters, your top fielders, your so called cream of the crop, then restricting the number of those players on a Major+ team forces those teams to pickup players that aren't the so called cream of the crop.

A couple players on our team have already talked about the impact this could have on us and the opinion right now is that we're not going to get rid of a guy just because he's on the Impact Player list. If that puts us over the limit, we just won't play SPA. Their loss - one less Major+ team they'll have at their tournaments.
beasley agree with ya on that point...how can you limit the top div....i don't even like the fact that hrs are limited up there.......
Beasley-we have 8-the discussion will be interesting. Also agree on M+ limits

Hi Mad dog-no see lately-how are you?
