SSUSA Policy Clarification
I have been hearing a lot of different things from different people lately and I want to get confirmation or clarification if you will from someone who actually knows. Here are six things that I am unclear on. Can someone shed light on these?

1. You can play one tournament with a team and not have it count against you. In other words you could leave the team and you would not
lose one of your two releases.

2. Player Exception: If you were short players for a major tournament you could pick up exceptions in the same skill level to 11 players
then you would have to pick up exceptions that are at a lower skill level. This would not affect anyone’s status on a team. Is this
not allowed anymore?

3. Aging up: A player aging up retains his previous age and rating for a year. For example, a 50-year-old major player ages to 55. He
can play 55 major but if he plays down at 50 he is still considered a major player.

4. A team that gets dropped down one skill level loses it’s right to have 3 chips for a year. Example, a major team gets dropped to AAA
they cannot have 3 major players for one year.

5. If you are a chip on a team that gets dropped a skill level, your skill level doesn’t drop with the team. For example, if you are a
major plus player playing on a major team and the team gets dropped to AAA you can finish the year with the team then you will have
to find another team to play on.

6. You must play at a skill level for two consecutive years to be rated at that skill level. For instance, a major player playing on a
AAA team must play AAA for two consecutive years to be rated AAA.

Thanks for reading!
