Are the team rankings in USSSA decided by the use of some kind of formula, numerical or otherwise?
Or are they opinion based by a board of review?
If by formula, what might that formula be?
If by a board of review, who or what does this board consist of?
I think you'll need to find that out at the U-trip site in your area. But you might get lucky here.
Good luck & Happy holidays.
Thought as much but it is was it was.
Both used, If you have the newspaper summer '09 page nine gives the data or "numerical" or "formula" portion I believe. Not really specific enough to pin down imo, but pretty much all you'll get.
The officers within SSUSA\ISA are the judge& jury "board" or review.
I believe SPA & maybe 1-2 others hay have a word or two as well the I think only a little here or there to fit a "need".
You never know if, when or usually why, but some should be common sense, again imo.
They do a pretty good job given the numbers of tournaments and teams involved and only a hand full of people involved in the process.
