Giving runs, and those runs count against you in seeding.
Please Directors, give me a good answer to support my issue, which is, Knowing sometimes in seeding, 2 different levels might have to play each other, and the higher level has to give 5 runs to the lower level. The problem is that not all teams might not face a lower level team in seeding games, so when it comes to being seeded in your classification bracket, you're seeded based on your seeding record or runs against if teams are tied.

If you have to be seeded in the bracket based on runs against, and not all teams faced a lower level team, how do you feel this is right, since one of the teams might had to give up 5 runs to a lower level team they faced, but the other teams didn't. These runs that some teams might of had to spot a team in seeding should not be considered when figuring out the runs against. These runs could make difference in if you start the tournament the same day or the next day. Thanks for your response.

Understand, but if those 5 runs did not count against your run total, then you would have the advantage by playing a team in a lower division, which in turn has the exact same result that you are against for every other team.

How would you eliminate this advantage if not counting the 5 runs?

WOOD_1966, good point. Didn't mean to say for Directors to support my issue, just wanted a explanation. Yours one good. Thanks
