USSSA POINT
SYSTEM
EARNING POINTS
Teams earn points while
placing in USSSA Tournaments. Teams accumulate points throughout
the season. These points are used to seed teams in the State
Tournament and World Series. The more tournaments a team
participates in and the higher they place, the better seed for
the State Tournament and World Series. Teams may also receive
points for participating in USSSA Sanctioned Leagues.
DOUBLE POINTS WEEKENDS
Tennessee USSSA will
offer two weekends of tournaments where teams can double their
points for placing.
TBA
STATE QUALIFYING TOURNAMENTS
Teams that participate
in State Qualifiers automatically qualify to participate in the
Tennesse USSSA State Tournament.
NIT TOURNAMENTS
These tournaments are
the top of the line in USSSA Tournaments. These tournaments
usually draw more teams from surrounding states. Teams placing
1st or 2nd receive berths to the USSSA World Series. These teams
must also participate in the Tennessee USSSA State Tournament for the Berth to be
valid. All teams that participate in a NIT automatically qualify
to participate in the Tennessee USSSA State Tournament

Power Ranking
System
Power Rating System
The formula was designed in 1998 by one of USSSA/ISTS's top computer master minds.
The system was designed to fairly rank teams (of the same class) that have not played
near the same number of games.
The exact formula will not be disclosed in fear of a competitors copying or misuse.
The system uses
--------------------------------
Teams winning percentage
Teams beaten winning percentage
Teams lost to winning percentage
Number of games played
Number of wins and loses
The system does not use
---------------------------------------
Game played between teams of different class
Score of game
Head to Head results
Wins or loses by forfeit
FAQ
---------
Can my teams power rating change even if my team is not active?
Yes, anytime results are entered for any team you have faced,
(in your class) your teams power rating will change.
