Womens coaches association poll is a popularity contest.




What are the season records for each team?

And then you add Butch Hart's poll to it and it is pretty much useless.

Butch Harts poll is the TGCA poll..............rankings are hard...gotta get info in and he only goes by what info he gets......one of our sometimes posters handicap18...is knowledgeable about softball and has a huge network of coaching friends that could get him info about teams..........I would put stock in a poll he put out.

A game is 7 innings or a run rule. Plus in pool play alot of times you are not playing all your starters, or your trying something out, or saving your ace, etc... But hey no biggie just pointing out that LaGrange seems to have alot more games it is due to the fact that they are counting tourn. play.

sort of.....pool games do not count if four are all that is played....a game is four and half/five innings plus.........so if pool games are more than four innings long...they count.....it get confusing...but many tourneys are going to time limits in which 6-7 innings can be played....so now pools games tend to be full games....and are played for seeding in bracket later in the tourney or for game seeding.......I know a team that played in an eight team tourney that was divided in two pools.......all pool games were seven innings....seeding was done and bracket play began with all bracket games being seven innings....all games count on the record.

odd fact the 15 run rule after three isn't a uil/federation rule...it tends to be agreement or district rule.....remember a game has to to four and a half or five.
