New team division drop process
So I am on a new team this year and we have had some good and bad performances. I wanted to ask if anyone knew the specifics of how SSUSA decides its 40's drops. so I will just list the questions I have
1. how do you get the team names and scores from previous tournaments to add to the paperwork for a drop? (we have poor book mgnt lol)
2. when deciding on a drop does SSUSA hold equal value to round robin wins/loses and score differential as they would with tourney play? I ask because I have experienced teams play subs, try out pitchers and not have their best efforts during pool but then we get worked by the same team we lost by 3 the day before. Is there a power ranking of certain tournaments?
3. can you pick up/add any players after a drop or replace a player who leaves after a drop?
4. lastly where is the best seafood buffet in Vegas for next week?

Word of advice, having lived through this process...

To answer #3...

Once you are dropped back, you can't add ANY players from a higher rating for 1 year, meaning you don't have 3 chips.

I.E. If you are dropping from 50AAA to 50AA ( we did this ), I don't have access to 3 50AAA chips. If we need players, we access 55AAA or 60M players.

If you have players that carry multiple ratings across different age brackets, you may also lose access to those players.

Hope this helps...
