Sandbagging in USSSA and other sanctioning bodies

[schoony]

My point was that USSSA officials (tournament, league directors) AND coaches should try to classify their teams properly. This would put them in a weak position because there is more competition. Not many are willing to do that.

IMO this would help because teams would play other teams that have similiar skill levels - and hopefully be more competitive games instead of blowouts - nobody wants to watch a blowout (or play in one either).

USSSA sets rules to keep the all star teams out of the AA classification. How are all these hand picked teams playing AA then?
