Its that time of year again. Now that schedules are out for the 10U and 12U Spano Dome Tournament, I figured its time to roll out information on the Coaches polls for 2016. This is the 7th year I have ran either the 10U or 12U Poll here on OFC/The Softball Zone. Here is how I will run things:
*1 Pre Season Poll, which will be held the week following the Spano Dome Tournament.
*Weekly polls will folllow starting the week of April 27th with votes being sent to me by either PM, Email.
steiner22ja@aol.com I have even had many coaches that have my number text me their votes.
*This is a Coaches Poll for OHIO teams only, with only Coaches being allowed to vote. In the past I allowed addicted members as well, but with the old site wiping out everyones status, we will stick to coaches only this year. If you are not a Coach and belive you should have a vote based on your expertise of an age group, please contact me and I will consider it.
*Each team is allowed 1 representative(Coach) from their team to cast a vote on behalf of their team.
* Send to me in a #1 - #10 format looking like this: (Must vote for 10 teams. I will not count votes that only include 5-6 teams. )
1. Big City Bombers
2. Small Town Snails
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. Southside Slappers
*I will assign pts as follows: #1 = 10pts, #2 = 9pts, etc down to #10 = 1pt
*Make sure you put your name and what team you are representing when sending your vote
* Feel free to include some commentary on teams. I appreciate getting info on the teams from around the state.
* I will keep the voting completely confidental. I do not discuss what coaches voted for who.
* Over the years, I have had a few coaches that have had agendas in their voting style from week to week, but for the most part, I get honest opinions of how teams are ranked.
* Votes will be needed to be sent in by Mondays at midnight to assure your vote is counted in the weekly poll. I will post results by noon on Tuesdays.
* In the past I have been told that "Only the big organizations get voted for and how can a local team get recognized?" If your team is good enough to show well at bigger tournaments and continues to play good competition, you will get noticed in the polls.
* These Polls only work if Teams/Coaches participate. Spread the word and lets make this years Coaches Polls better than ever.
I will put a "call out post" for votes on the Sunday of the Spano Tourny.
Good Luck to all teams in 2016!
