| Aug. 29, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | AAA VS. MAJOR AND MAJOR + We are heading to another senior tournament this weekend, my question is if we are a AAA team and we play in a tournament where there is ONLY 50 AND MAJOR teams in it, why don't we get the 5 runs against these teams, we have played in a lot of these tourneys and never have gotten these runs. Not whinning just wondering. There is a lot of expenses to go to these , so I thought I would ask why > Any help ? |

| Aug. 29, 2008 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | 13.3(8) SCHEDULING MODIFICATIONS If three or fewer teams enter a division, the SSWC Board reserves the right to A) Return the Entry Fee, B) Place the team in an Exhibition Status, or C) Move the team to a lower age bracket. A team cannot add younger players just because a tournament director moved the team to a lower age bracket. Example: A 55 Major team is put in a 50 AAA bracket of a tournament. The 55 Major team cannot add 50+ players to their team. A. The team(s) do not participate in the tournament and the entry fee is returned. The team must compete in at least ONE SSWC Qualifier in order to be invited to the National or World Championships. B. The team(s) may play in their age bracket of the Triple-A Division but the team(s) will NOT receive any awards. The awards will only go to Triple-A Division teams. The team(s) will qualify to be invited to the World Championships. C. The teams (other than 50+) may play in the next lower age bracket and they may win tournament awards. The team(s) may qualify to be invited to the World Championships in their division age group. A manager will be contacted if a tournament director has to move a team two age brackets. A tournament director may move a team one age bracket without a contact. D. SSWC reserves the right to place any team in any divi- sion for the purpose of competitive equality. E. Recommended equalizers for teams in mixed skill and/or age groups: The weaker, or older, team gets a choice of adding 5 runs to their score OR using an extra defensive player. If there is a difference in rules governing teams in a mixed division, the rules governing the weaker, or older, teams are used. If the weaker team elects to add five runs, the one run will be added to their score in innings 2-6. If the game only goes 5 innings, the weaker team will receive a maximum of 4 runs. |

Try the "click here" link just below the picture. It will take some time to load but it should open after that. |
| Aug. 29, 2008 Dirty Men's 50 1371 posts | The fact that there is that extensive of a rule to cover 3 or fewer teams in a division says all anyone needs to know about the state of senior touney ball. People will come to a good product in any walk of life, when few are coming it speaks volumes. |

| Aug. 29, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Dirty, Thanks , that was what I was looking for ! Take care. |
