| SoftballNation National Power Rankings Click Here |
SoftballNation has two ranking systems. The state ranking system which
is posted below and the National Power Rankings which are posted on
www.sportsnation.org . The
rankings on this page will be used to seed teams for the State Championship
tournaments. The National Power Rankings are for comparison purposes and
that system considers a team's total tournament performance regardless of
association. Teams that are members of the SoftballNation should be sure
to use the power ranking system at
www.sportsnation.org and input your data after each tournament.
In The Mid-Atlantic Region we will use a points based ranking system to rank
teams. While there is no absolute method to determine the rankings of
softball teams, this system rewards teams for their performances in tournament
play and it rewards them for their participation with SoftballNation in the
Mid-Atlantic.
Ranking Procedures: Teams will be ranked based on their
performance in tournaments in Virginia. These rankings will be used to
seed teams for State Championship Play. If teams from outside Virginia
participate in Virginia tournaments and finish high enough to earn points, they
will be included in Virginia rankings.
Points Distribution: Points are awarded based on a basic formula.
Teams are awarded points based on their finish in the tournament and the number
of teams in that tournament. It is generally presumed that larger
tournaments are more difficult to win and therefore deserve more weight in
distributing points. The points are distributed as follows:
State Championship Tournaments:
Participation Points for the State Championship tournaments will be 25 points.
| 1st Place Finish: | 4 points multiplied by the number of teams in the tournament |
| 2nd Place Finish: | 3 points multiplied by the number of teams in the tournament |
| 3rd Place Finish: | 2 points multiplied by the number of teams in the tournament |
| 4th Place Finish: | 1 point multiplied by the number of teams in the tournament |
| Participation Points: | 5 Points for participating. 25 Points for participating in a State Championship. |
What The Rankings Mean:
Rankings will continue through the completion of the Slow Pitch
Nationals scheduled for September in Virginia Beach, Va.
State Championship Tournaments will carry double points.
Re-Classified Teams: If a team has participated in a particular
division and is re-classified during the season, that team's points may be
transferred as follows:
**If a team is re-classified to a higher division, their
points will transfer at a 50% rate: example: Team A has 100 points in Silver,
they become 50 points in Gold.
**If a team is re-classified to a lower division, their
points will transfer equally.
