If you want to grow the major program and grow AA at the same time then usssa needs to stop dropping people off the major and watch lists - if they were smart they would add an Elite major tag to about 25 people - the best of the best get the elite tag . We all know not every major play is equal - there are some that are just much bigger game changers than other .

Add the elite tag to about 25 people , as well as keeping the guys like mooch, hunt, chent all at major ( all three were dropped to watch this year ) . Keep more people on the major list , more on the watch list and in turn you will get more major and more AA teams because the more people that are worth points there are the harder it will be to build teams and keep them under the point limits .

Elite tag - 2 points
Major tag 1.25
Watch tag - .75

This wouldn’t affect major teams at all , but would force more AA teams to major cause harder to keep under 9 points , and in turn more A teams would go to A .


Some of the people they dropped off the lists this year is comical - mooch is still a top 5 pitcher in the game - Mooch , chent , and hunt all were starters on a major team at start of 2020 . No reason them and other like them should have been dropped . If they were not dropped pures still major this year . I don’t blame pure for going AA - usssa gave them the perfect playbook to win another AA title .
