All the C tourneys we played in were three pool and bracket, just like B. Did a couple 6GG as well. C World Series was 4 pool, and double elim bracket. The sandbagging in that one was something to behold. Teams that played B all year and won tournaments in USSSA played in USA at C. They didn't even win. The team that won brought in a guest player that was a pitcher playing up at 12B in Utrip. She was a big girl with three pitches and throwing hard. All to win that 10C chip.this has been my experience as well. not something I like. how are you going to develop girls and get better playing less?
