Reclassifcation for 2020 is based on tournament results during the 2019 season.

Please understand that these moves were all made based on the rosters that we had on hand at the end of the 2019 season, and the records that were obtained thru tournament play during 2019. We fully realize that things change and some of you may not agree with the moves that we have made. If any coach is in disagreement with being moved up for the 2020 season, you have the right to appeal this decision. Your appeal will not be acted upon until after January 1, 2020. In most instances these teams will remain at this class until after they have participated in a minimum of 2 tournaments, at their new classification, after April 15th, 2020. If your team was moved by the National Classification Committee (NCC), you must play in a minimum of 4 tournaments after April 15, 2020 before you can appeal. If your team was moved by the Slow Pitch By-Laws Automatic move up (AMU) must participate at your new class for one (1) year. DO NOT submit an appeal without the following information:


1) Date played (which tournament).
2) Number of teams in the tournament
3) Your record and finish
4) Scores & teams played (indicate if there was a run spot).
5) Players not at the tournament
6) Reasons why the committee should reclass your team.
7) 2019 roster

TEAMS MOVED UP

ALL E and higher teams for the 2020 season MUST submit a roster to the Classification Committee Chairman before you play your first tournament in 2020.

ALL teams moved down for the 2020 season MUST submit a roster to the Classification Committee Chairman prior to their first tournament in 2020. Failure to do so will result in that team being moved back to their classification of 2019. This roster must include all players for the 2020 season and show what team they were on in 2019 use the classification roster form). In some instances the new players added for 2020 may result in a move back to your old classification. Each roster will be dealt with on its own individual merits. It does no good to ask for a review of your classification if you have not set your roster for the upcoming year.

Last, but not least, we do the best we can and realize that we will make mistakes, and will most likely not please everyone in the softball community. We have provided steps for each of you to take if you are in disagreement. Please use the opportunity that we have provided, and not vent your displeasure on this board.

I personally thank each of you for your support of Washington USSSA/GSL, and look forward to the coming year. In the very near future I will be posting some more information for the 2020 season.
