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.

Classifications of Play – The USSSA Baseball program shall offer four (4) classifications of play: Major, AAA, AA & A. The criteria for classifying teams shall be the overall offensive and defensive strength and experience of the team.

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.

The "AA" classification is designed for those "select" or "recruited" or "frozen" teams which cannot attain qualification at the AAA level.  If USSSA finds AA teams consistently winning within the AA class, we reserve the right (Rule 3.03) to elevate such teams to AAA.

The "A" is a Rec classification is designed for those "recreation level" teams which are bound by geographic league boundaries and restricted rosters.

USSSA is the only organization in the world that offers a four tier system that allows players of ALL skills to compete against like players in leagues, local and state level tournaments, as well as national play. USSSA believes the development of ALL players is greatly enhanced by the experience and fun of tournament play on the local, state and national level.

Year after year USSSA experiences rapid growth throughout the program. This is reflected in our Team Registrations and World Series participation. Last year in the World Series play it was 4 TO 1 over any other league of baseball. In translation this means more teams to play, better competition, thus making a better World Series experience. USSSA had over 1,900 teams play in the World Series thus an average of 135 teams per age division!
