Projected MWS bracket

Posted by KyleS on August 3, 2022, 12:49 pm

I’m wondering how close Str8play CA-B is to making the World Series? Maybe they aren’t close at all but I’ve seen them place a few times this season and they have a great record against higher ranked teams. Also LundMortgage, they have had a decent season as well. Thank you for the info.

Straight play is 36th so I would go with about as much chance as my league team.

Neither will make the MMWS.

This is an incredibly tough year across the board to qualify which shows the growth and competitiveness of the conference as a whole.

Both of those teams are scrappy with good pieces but the higher competition is just significantly more loaded from top to bottom in their lineups.

I’m glad the conference is now taking the top 18 teams for the major and got rid of the military play in. Absolutely no offense to the military teams but in most cases the team that qualifies from the military side doesn’t have their top 3-4 players because they’re committed to other teams that qualified.

To answer you have to take a deep dive into the points.

https://web.usssa.com/sports/ConferenceUSSSA.asp?WTD=4&SeasonID=26

Precision has just 5 tournaments played but are averaging 174.8 points per tournament which if they can keep that average up puts them in 9th in points. So they will probably be in the major.

Adikitv is averaging 160.29 through 6 tournaments which puts them 13th. So they have a very good chance.

LundMortgage is averaging just 125 points through 6 tournaments and Str8Play is averaging just 131 points through 5 tournaments so they are pretty much out. Both would have needed to play the Hall of Fame Classic to have a chance.

Lund sucks. They would of had a better chance at the major if they were using protons still.

We would win the major if we had your bats.

I’m sorry but Rock Run should make the major even as a B team. They are 100% a B team by the rules and points. They paid the entry just like everyone else and are putting together an incredible season. If they can’t make the major because they are B- then they should get every dollar back from their conference entry and still get whatever prize package a qualifying team gets.

An unwritten conference rule in the past since AA returned is that a B team that qualifies for the major on points in the top 16 would be bumped in season.

But we shall see how this plays out, as you are correct they are a never before seen situation and have zero roster points and zero players that have played higher than B.

It is a tough call either way. I am sure USSSA wants to do what is right for the team and separately what is right for the B division and the other sponsors within the division.

You also should take into consideration they would be a very good 'A' team and last year at I think it was 'B' USA nationals finished 2nd as I recall getting double dipped by Thunder who had a 'AA' caliber roster. They also played 'B' USSSA Worlds so they have played B USSSA Worlds and B USA Nationals in the past so it isn't like they never got to play them.

Very good and controversial topic as it should be.

They should just let them play the B like they deserve & bump them the next day to A so they can play the major which they have earned. Not really rocket science.

I think it’s great a team like this might qualify but… they should be ranked A and play A worlds to play in The Series…and be proud of what they accomplished if they qualify.

If the new complex plays difficult to hit HRs during the day they just might win some games.

I would say playing the Series against the top beats trying to win a world FOUR LEVELS DOWN… but crap… that makes me sound alike Dale;-)
