RECLASSIFICATION
Based on USSSA Power Ratings, In & Out of Class Records, Winning Percentages and overall team performance on the field, teams can be reclassified as per USSSA National Bylaws & Rules 3.04. USSSA Baseball will be moving the best teams in the State to the Major Division based on the above criteria. Likewise, the top AA teams will be moved to the AAA division for the start of the 2009 season.Any team that is reforming from the 2008 season must start the 2009 season in the same classification (or higher) that they finished the 2008 season.For purpose of classifications, if six (6) or more players from a 2008 team are on a 2009 team, they are considered the same team regardless of the TEAM NAME, MANAGER, COACHING STAFF or SPONSOR.The State Office will make final classification adjustments by the 1st of June of each season. This should give teams ample time to prepare for State and World Series plans.
State Directors shall have sole authority to classify teams within their respective state and the authority to classify and / or re-classify any team during the current season, except when team classification has been assigned by the USSSA Baseball National Committee.
The "Major" classification is designed for the most competitive, "select" teams. Players on these teams may be recruited from any state. This is our most talented and highly skilled division, and provides outstanding teams, who take great pride in competing day in and day out against the best competition available.
The "AAA" classification is designed for those "select" or "recruited" or "frozen" teams which cannot attain qualification at the Major level. If USSSA finds AAA teams consistently winning within the AAA class, we reserve the right (Rule 3.03) to elevate such teams to Major. The AAA classification is intended to be the "middle ground" for travel type teams in USSSA.
