USSSA POINT SYSTEM
EARNING POINTS
Teams earn points while placing in USSSA Tournaments. Teams accumulate points throughout the season. These points are used to seed teams in the State Tournament and World Series. The more tournaments a team participates in and the higher they place, the better seed for the State Tournament and World Series. Teams may also receive points for participating in USSSA Sanctioned Leagues.
DOUBLE POINTS WEEKENDS
Arkansas USSSA will offer two weekends of tournaments where teams can double their points for placing. April 18-20 and June 6-8, 2008
STATE QUALIFYING TOURNAMENTS
Teams that participate in State Qualifiers automatically qualify to participate in the Arkansas USSSA State Tournament.
NIT TOURNAMENTS
These tournaments are the top of the line in USSSA Tournaments. These tournaments usually draw more teams from surrounding states. Teams placing 1st or 2nd receive berths to the USSSA World Series. These teams must also participate in the Arkansas USSSA State Tournament for the Berth to be valid. All teams that participate in a NIT automatically qualify to participate in the Arkansas USSSA State Tournament

Power Ranking System
Power Rating System
The formula was designed in 1998 by one of USSSA/ISTS's top computer master minds.
The system was designed to fairly rank teams (of the same class) that have not played
near the same number of games.
The exact formula will not be disclosed in fear of a competitors copying or misuse.
The system uses
--------------------------------
Teams winning percentage
Teams beaten winning percentage
Teams lost to winning percentage
Number of games played
Number of wins and loses
The system does not use
---------------------------------------
Game played between teams of different class
Score of game
Head to Head results
Wins or loses by forfeit
FAQ
---------
Can my teams power rating change even if my team is not active?
Yes, anytime results are entered for any team you have faced,
(in your class) your teams power rating will change.
