| Oct. 23, 2017 Duke Men's 65 908 posts | garyheifer, Well, it is possible that they both had a very poor rest of the year. Also, at the tournament that you mentioned for these 2 teams, Bostonians had a negative 22 run differential after 5 games or -4.4 run differential per game. And, the Windsor Chiefs had a plus 2 run differential after 5 games, which equates to a positive .4 runs per game. On top of that, they were the only 2 teams in their division. There could be other reasons, that we are not aware of. Andy Smith, USED2BE, 65 Major |

| Oct. 24, 2017 SSUSA Staff 3491 posts | Gary ... In the interest of a bit more factual disclosure ... As Andy mentioned, yes, those two teams were #1-2 in 70-Major at last year's Winter Nationals, in a huge TWO-TEAM Best 2 of 3 bracket ... We suspected going in that they were both very likely to finish in the top two! ... Bostonian won it in the "If" game despite being -2 in aggregate run differential for the three games ... Bostonian was re-rated on 06/13/17 to AAA based on our mid-season performance review ... Windsor was re-rated to AAA on 08/30/17 to be consistent with SPA's rating for them ... Neither team filed an appeal for a rating change nor played in this year's LVSSA/SSUSA World Masters Championships ... This thread may well be further support for the theory that "..If teams would spend, say, only 10% as much time worrying about their own team as they do other teams, they would probably have a better ball club.." |
