| Jan. 7, 2022 HSquared Men's 60 147 posts | Ratings Multi-part question If a player has played on a 60 AAA team for a while, and then is asked to fill-in (one time) for a 55 Major team (Team A), does that player then receive a Major "tag" for which he has to retain for two-years? And if the answer is, yes (he will retain a Major tag), does that tag impact (travel back to) the original 60 AAA team that he is still roster-ed on? And if that same player is then released from (Team A), can that player join a different 55 team (Team B)? And if so, at what rating? |
| Jan. 7, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4313 posts | H² ... IMPORTANT: A player gets one "freebie" out-of-rating experience event per Season ... BEFORE you "go there", please call (or have the 55-M Team "A" manager do it) Sacramento and let them know what you are doing ... Now, back to your three questions ... [1] NO, so long as he only plays "up" once per season ... [2] Not Applicable because the answer above is NO ... [3] Here's the tricky part: He may get a release from 55-M Team "A" and join 55-M Team "B" as his one release per year, per age group ... But if he plays for 55-M Team "B", he has now made TWO appearances at the 55-M experience rating (R/I=7) history, a "tag" he will carry for the two year period, and HE IS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR THE 60-AAA TEAM WITH ITS R/I=5 ... He could play for a 60-M team as one of its three allowable out-of-rating players, but NOT for a 60-AAA ... One appearance makes you a nice guy helping someone out in a pinch ... Two or more appearances makes you a mercenary of sorts and subject to the tighter requirements ... Good luck ... Be careful on how you do this one! ... |
| Jan. 7, 2022 HSquared Men's 60 147 posts | Thanks D². So I guess then, the key point is TWO appearances at any ratings level will "lock" you in at the higher level. |
| Jan. 7, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4313 posts | Yes ... And it's hard to over-emphasize the importance of calling ahead to Sacramento and having them confirm the guy's ACTUAL history ... Take your hypothetical for the pending initial appearance on 55-M Team "A" and add just one factual circumstance: The guy never told that 55-M Team "A" manager OR his 60-AAA manager that he also played for my 55-M "Dave's Dummies" team in a random qualifier ... So, when he plays for 55-M Team "A", he [1] doesn't have a valid release to do so and [2] he's now DQ'd from 60-AAA for the balance of the Season due to multiple out-of-rating appearances ... This happens more than you might think ... |
| Jan. 7, 2022 HSquared Men's 60 147 posts | D². One last clarification, "ACTUAL history" is defined as how long a period? |
| Jan. 7, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4313 posts | H² ... "ACTUAL history" = The current Season and two (2) previous complete Seasons ... If the player is 70+ or more senior, it's the current Season and the immediately preceding single full Season ... |
| Jan. 10, 2022 HSquared Men's 60 147 posts | Thanks D². ..... Sorry, one more. Since 60 Major is equal to 55 AAA (using the Ratings Chart) can 5 players from Team A (60 M) plus 4 players from Team B (60 M) and 4 players from Team C (55 AAA) form a new team and play @ 55 AAA? |
| Jan. 10, 2022 DaveDowell Men's 70 4313 posts | H² ... Yes, they may ... That would be their only logical option because the 55-AAA guys are not old enough to play 60's ... |
