My "official" roster on the SSUSA website states that I cannot have more than 4 79s on my 80s team. I thought the rule was a maximum of 7 players of 78s + 79s with no more than 3 78s. Do I have the rule right?
Looking for several 79plus players for mesquite and st. George October 2021.

Mike ... The website "limit" is correct ... You jumped the gun on the consideration of that proposal ... Here's an excerpt from the Minutes of the 2020 National Rules Committee virtual sessions ...
"..[T]he committee voted to table several requests involving the number of under-age players allowed on rosters until staff could survey managers of the affected divisions.
“Some of the under-age player recommendations could have a cascading effect on multiple age divisions,” Committee Chairwoman Donna McGuire said. “We felt it wise to gather input from managers before proceeding.”
Most of those recommendations called for tweaking the number of such players allowed on rosters in the 70+, 80+ or 85+ divisions. Another player suggested changing age brackets starting at the 70+ level from five-year increments to four-year increments with no under-age players allowed. That would mean divisions of 70+, 74+, 78+, 82+ and possibly 86+. The committee will revisit these suggestions after getting input on how each potential rule would impact roster-building.."
Stay tuned!
