Calling out "B" teams that should be "A"

[Border Fan]

Where can you find the ASA "A" "B" rating of teams?

[illini 1]

you can go to www.illinoisasa.org

Actually I think Pride Fastpitch has a good idea there, but I think only 10s and 12s, Most 14u teams know weather there A and B, and most seem to play it that way

I find it extremely ironic that the coach that started this whole thread has his "A" 10U team at "B" NSA State this weekend. You know what they say about those that live in glass houses...

ASA State Pool games are posted. . . 55 teams in 12s; 34 teams in 10s; 14 teams in 14A and 53 teams in 14B (WOW).

Good Luck to all the teams next weekend.

There are 8 contenders for the 10U division at ASA State...

CI Diamonds
Black Widows
Mattoon Pride (defending champion)
Heartland Havoc (defending runner up)
QC Firebirds '01
CI Diamondstorm
CIGS Rebels
Minonk Crush

Any of the other 26 go all the way it will be a complete surprise.

One of the worst state tournaments ever. Drug out, nasty fields and sub-par umpires who were always making games late. I pitty any 12U team going to nationals there. Too many teams for 4 days. Glad to see ASA making $$$$ off of kids!

Is there a link anywhere for this tourney?

Who looked good?

Here's the link - updated, at most, once a day if we're lucky.

Win them all.

I know at least the grounds crew there is union. They do as they please. If their arse was on fire, they'd still move like a sloth. Apathy at its finest.

The info about USSSA is only partly correct.
Their board of directors have been moving the top 10% of B teams to A, and any team that plays at B and had a strong power rating.
They started this in 2011, and it includes all divisions.
Teams are also being moved up in class during the year.
State Tournaments are A, B, and open
