Thanks.........Don

High Street Bucs win again 55 Major, add that to there total wins including TOC, add a few Major + players and still remain a Major team. Great rating System you have SSUSA....This just adds to why the whole SSUSA rating process is not a good system. Directors should have input for each Tournament instead of one person sitting in California. That's why you see more teams in the Northeast not going to SSUSA tournaments....

In this case I am at a loss, High Street has not been re-rated since 2012. With multiple wins since then, as well as winning last year's TOC. If winning a TOC doesn't move you up a class, then just put an SSUSA logo on their jerseys and call them the home team from now on.

Just come down and play the ISSA 55AAA division, like most of the NE teams do--RB likes your money. Maybe if you would paly and win a TOC Tournament you would go to FL, I'm guessing not because there are some good teams in those events. We finished 4th in the Loudoun TOC event, just maybe all those teams that finished higher should all be Major Plus too!! I believe we finished 9th at Vegas last year, so winning the TOC was a great accomplishment against 5, sorry 6, I forgot Hollis 60's, who beat us by 12 runs and actually won the TOC--we just happen to win the 55 part with all close games.
Winning this weekend against Sweet and Tri-State(Oh Wait, Just 3 Teams), with one of the SSUSA area directors playing against us. Sweet beat us 22-5 in the first meeting and the other 2 games were decided by one run and a couple of runs win against Tri-state. All 3 teams should be rated Major+ with your logic, so please know the facts before asinine comments, we're all to old for the petty crap.

Sorry if I hit a nerve. I just know that my team has been re-rated without winning as often or TOC wins and I wondered why. With the list given of wins and finishes along with regular tourney wins not listed for HSB, I think you have actually made my point. I doubt any other 55Ms have that good of a record. If re-rated, it would only take 3 tournaments to see if 55MP is unfair, I would think a re-rate in less than 4 years would happen then...just say'n
