Wes.....some have already been re-rated....they just didn't change the dates on the board, so unless you know the team by name you might miss the change. It has us re-rated as of Nov 1,08 instead of Feb,09

How much money have you got?

Hey Guys,

I checked over 10 teams that should definitely have been bumped up, and not even one was changed. Therefore, I do not think SSUSA has posted their rating changes at this time. Maybe there are one or 2 that someone knows about, but not the bulk change that is supposedly coming....or not?

Andy:
I've read some of your posts and you seem to be a straight up kind of guy.
I wish you were making the decisions as to who gets moved. Unfortunately we don't know who these guys are and what their criteria is for the moves they make. Opinions are like belly buttons....everyones got one...and yours and mine don't seem to count. My requests to ssusa for an explanation of criteria and my teams move in particular has fell on deaf ears. I was warned that would be the case, but I had to try. We have only 2 choices....play by the "chosen fews" rules or find another playground. I wouldn't assume because you (and I) think a team should be moved, that it will happen. I've seen to many teams win championships in the same division for years and others moved after one tournament. We want to be where the action is so we're just gonna bend over and play as hard as we can.......
"Keep on Playin"

I like many others here, am totally frustrated by the long wait for SSUSA to re-rate teams. We heard over 2 months ago about this re-rating and many teams have held up putting together their season schedule until SSUSA gets this done. It's past mid-February SSUSA & this needs to be done!Let the teams that have supported SSUSA over the years have the information to be able to make their decisions for this season please!!

Terry Hennessy is currently out of the country on SSUSA business arranged at the last moment in Havana, Cuba. He will be returning on February 3rd and will resume the re-ratings process with the National Ratings Committee at that time. The resulting announcements are anticipated to be made by the middle of February.

Tongue in cheek here.
1. Perhaps his paper airplane was delayed by a wind current and delivered the fees and rules postings of Feb 10 my mistake.

2. In looking for a regular coin, heads they stay the same, tails they move somewhere TBD later, but could only find a 2 headed coin for the re-ratings determination.

I doubt any of us would any of you want this burden...even if, any move would be justified. I wouldn't. Hopefully more thought is put in this task, than a some other recent ones.
Like tourney games, always run late after about the 3rd game.

You shoulderr could remove this as well, now that there is another "due" date, as it were.

Now I see we get to wait another "2 weeks" for the re-rate.... Seems like a long time to me..

its time to do away with aa aaa major majors+ and do it like ncssa top teams play up bad teams play down.We have 110 teams and it works a lot better than senior softball.
