April 18, 2019 tall_thunder Men's 50 82 posts | 2 different levels in the same bracket in a TOC I know sometimes in a TOC, that 2 different skill levels or age levels, have to be combined due to participation, HOWEVER, why does the higher level have to suffer. The ISSUE, higher level has to lose home runs, and give up 5 runs. In seeding day, the first tie breaker is RUNS AGAINST. IF, all teams in that division do not play a lower skill level team to get seeded, those who did are 5 runs in the hole already. Plus, the higher level can't hit their amount of home runs. In a AA matching up to a AAA TEAM, that's 1 not 3. May I suggest, bat control can solve the home run difference, we hit the lower skill level amount, as rule states. BUT, there's no 5 runs given, UNLESS, every team in the seeding games, play a lower level team. In the Laughlin tournament, 60AA played 60AAA, BUT, only in the seeding games. AND, there was only 3 AA Teams and they played a round robin for their Championship. The seeding games really didn't mean anything to them. Can this be considered for the up coming TOC, or is something that is set in stone until the Rules committee meet to make changes? I will be sending in a recommendation to consider this change. Thanks for listening. |

We were informed that our seeding games against a team with a different rating wouldn’t count in determining our seeding for bracket play. Only games played against teams in our division would affect our seeding position. |
