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.

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.
