2013 Worlds

[ScottSvirsky]

What did your team have to do to qualify (ie: # of NITs, did you have to play in states, etc)?

 

[bobby_hirst]

Come up with $365

 

[Wupang]

You have to play states and nationals here in Cali, to go to worlds

 

[CTMC]

States, nationals and 3 other sanctioned USSSA events...

 

[chillywilly777]

Come up with $365 is the correct answer. Directors can make exceptions to any rule a state has in place and they usually do.

 

[ser7643]

Pay them their money!!! That's all that matters. If a local director says you have to play in XX amount of tournaments they are wrong. Just find another director who will allow you to play.

 

[whogotz]

Scott - no surprise that we have seen different stories here in Florida

 

[spos21ram]

You have to play in the States, Nationals, and qualify to go to worlds in Rhode Island....well unless the director is a buddy of yours.

 

[chancechatman]

We were the highest placing D team at an open nit..

 

[khull26]

I heard states and Nationals. My team is playing in worlds North and East

 

[Dexb0t]

Usually states and nationals/regionals, unless you know someone Money talks...

 

[creative10]

States and regionals up here in the northeast. But we all know that doesnt apply to teams in Florida.

The reason I started the thread is b/c in FL were required to play 2 NITs plus states and I was curious what other state directors require. So much for your theory.

 

[synergy40]

colb, he said eat your heart out kid, go take some more BP.

 

[mkejohnson]

State and a nationals here in VA. There are a couple of Nationals to choose from. Usually you have to earn a berth or have over 1000 points.

 

[Frank the Tank]

was told in NJ that 6 Utrip sanctioned tourneys that includes a state and a national and win 1 qualifier.

 

[BlueJacket]

Here in Ohio you just have to play in your State and National tourneys.

 

[tpswhit]

here in Florida a team must compete in their respective State championships , and 2 NIT's (we offer the 2nd NIT in lieu of a National)....Scott i understand your wanting to go but you drove 3 hours south for a fun tournament the same weekend as states. These specific requirements were posted on the local softball chat site. I believe that every state mandates that you play in the State tournament.....

Hey op check out the teams from fl that have only played one tournament or no tournament's in the listings of D world teams..there goes ur theory.

C'mon Colby the "Win a trip to the worlds" tourney isn't enough!! I like the 2 D teams with an E NIT listed as their only tourney.

 

[bis25]

As Synergy40 can attest, we played a Florida team last year whose only tournament played was one of those Disney Slowpitch Slam tournaments in May, so Florida can suck a **** when it comes to "requirements"

 

[IrishRich]

2 years ago when I was still playing in NY (living in both NY and FL) we played a team at E worlds that was considered a D team in Florida, that never even played Utrip before. Bis25 knows what I am talking about.

 

[J2009]

Ks is national rule state and nationals unless you win a nit

I looked at the list ... and what teams do you have an issue with?

 

[Shadow23]

Check out the DirectTV Tigers. They look legit.

Based on many of the teams in the D bracket, this statement is false because there are at least 4 Florida teams could be more with only 1 or 2 tournaments, so they didn't play in the 3 you say the "must" compete in?

 

[Hendo9]

We won a national tourney and berth was paid for! Always a bonus

Yea that's who we play. Find it really sketchy to have no state And no utrip record? Thinking they may be from Puerto Rico?
