First Class A Fastpitch Rankings

Once again Class A coaches get it wrong! I’m completely ok with the top 8. But to have Hydro, Cyril and Sterling at 16,17,and 18 is a complete joke to this ranking system. Hydro beats Stuart but is ranked 6 spots below them? Stuart loses to Wister? Anybody that would sit down and do their research would put Hydro ahead of Wister and Stuart based on that. Cyril and Sterling fell victim to playing some good teams and losing while Pioneer and Dewar play nobody and have those shiny good records. Coaches need to do better or they just need to go to districts.

A lot of baseball coaches also hate the district system from what I heard

There's no way they could do the district system in A and B, There would be a lot more travelling in A and B then in 2A-4A

If they couldn't do it in baseball then there is no way they could do it in fastpitch

You’re missing the point . The point is coaches need to do better. Is there a way to do districts? Absolutely. Would it be tough or better and coaches not like it who knows. But it could be done.

You see how much travelling has to be done in 2A-4A, There would likely be even more in A and B, Probably more travelling then coaches would want to do

Also think about this, What if a team has to coop with another team cause there's not enough to play? OSSAA only lets teams do that in the redistricting cycle so this would hurt teams that have to coop cause of not enough players

Yes! Some coaches play a glorified schedule just to have a good record.

No I’m really not for it at all but just think it’s the only answer to fix the issue. Unless their are consequences for coaches ranking dumb

Like I said coaches not turning in losses is also what screws teams over

First rankings are usually always a fluke, Like last year the rankings didn't get accurate until the 2nd or 3rd one, Regardless Class A is deep to where even 10-20 could pull an upset in a Regional, Class B is pretty close to accurate from what I seen
