So because we win we should be bumped. We played east coast dawgs who won the tourney before and won in 6. We played big t sexy bunch to 8 innings and won by 2/3 and they won the winter worlds already so shouldn't they be bumped too? All three are great teams but doesn't mean we all should be bumped. On any day any team can lose.

Saw them play one game against fun guyz. Then i had to leave. But they beat them in like 3 innings. Think it was 29-3. They won't be in E long.

There was a lot of complaining...both amongst players and to officials. Carolina Drive is stacked with guys that went to worlds last year from what I've heard. Saw several maxed out jerseys and some lookout ones too. Both were super solid teams last year. The best way to battle with a problem like this, when the higher ups KNOW that guys are playing down and STILL won't do anything about it, is not to play the tourneys where they allow this to happen. There are more than enough tourneys to stay away from ladies who just want to beat up on the lower level players. Let Andy Know. Rant Over.

Neither one of those teams even finished high enough to get bumped so how are they "super solid" teams. Seems to me like those that were complaining should play the game. Maybe those guys had a good weekend. It happens sometimes. Unfortunately so does complaining. Show up and play hard. Bashing good teams and starting drama will get you nowhere.

Its a shame people base their decision on where to play on mandatory bumps...what happened to people wanting to play the best level possible and having pride in things?

Nah, thats cool, the director said we could play E so we will just play E...got to get them t shirts

Re: Carolina Drive

Also, keep in mind that these guys are probably the best from their former teams combined. It's not the "team" that gets bumped, its when you have more than 4 higher class players that causes your team to get bumped. Either way, just play the guys and let them beat up on you. We play E because we want to play competitively with players of our class.

Re: Carolina Drive

Ok, so if both teams combined to win 8 tournaments between the two of them including State, all in one year, you wouldn't call that a very solid team? Sounds like your undercover and you play for them.

I don't play for anyone I'm retired but if your ranting about an E team and you play E then it sounds to me like your one of the complainers or have been beaten by them. I follow the game bc i loved it and I agree things have changed but teams whining about classification never will

Unfortunately the Bump List has disappeared. I do recall Maxed Out on the list. Lookouts did have a strong showing at the worlds, but not on bump list.

If they are that stacke don't you think they would be getting a ton of offensive ejections? Sounds to me like they are good at small ball & defense. Even in this day and age it does happen.

if they bump everyone that has a good weekend there would only be losers in e. no one wants to beat a loser. nothing exciting to tell on monday. ( hey friend, how did your team play this weekend? great, we beat a bunch of losers.)
