Seeding for Dual?

DW, how will the points awarded for the Vegas be used in the seeding for the Dual event? Will they be used at all? And of course, I guess Resmondo will still be #1 seed even though they have not played yet?? Seems like Nordkap should deserve #1 seed since they played and won the first tournament! Just my opinion! THANKS

I believe the seeding is based on 2011 and any new teams would be seeded based on classification. That is just an educated guess. And of course the second tournament is seeded similar to the first but mixed up enough that teams won't play each other early in the tournament that played early in the first tournament.

Since this has only Conference teams, they should do a live draw... They could televise the draw... How cool would that be?

I like this idea and will mention it to USSSA. They should vote on it though because the current seeding does reward sponsors that played the previous year.

It would have to be televised though... Have the coaches draw the name... You could draw in order of how you finished last year... Another idea... It would be tough to do... But I would like them to seed the 2nd half of the dual based on your finish in the first tourney...

I think seeding them according to their finish last year is the best idea as of yet... Also blind draws are always free of blame or fault. So let's make it happen!

I think a draw would have to be on Wednesday night almost for game time purposes. Some teams were available this year to play early Thursday so extra games were scheduled on the main field starting at I think 9 AM. Some players don't even fly in til 10 am.

I really like these ideas but lets be honest, THESE WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Resmondo will get the favored draw and times, LIKE EVERY TOURNAMENT.

It makes sense to reward the sponsors who've played the year prior. With that being said, Nordkap, I don't believe is a west coast team, along with others. Their sponsor put up a good amount of money to get to Vegas and play in a west coast conference event that Resmondo did not attend. I think that should carry some weight when considering THiS YEARS rankings. Just saying, reward should be there to rank them for the first conference tourney, if they don't attend, they lose that ranking to those that attend. How bout rewarding the east coast/Midwest teams for coming west? Shouldn't we build the west coast part of the conference?

DW: New Idea for the website. Since so many people are in to Facebook these days, would it be possible to add a "Like" feature to each comment? For instance, I read Thank you for coming westl's comment and I agree with him, but didn't want to add another comment since you already said "excellent post". Just a thought.

Hmmm, maybe it doesn't work in firefox or the older version of IE that I have.

I definitely don't see those on my computer or my android phone when I view the thread. Maybe I am the only one.
