FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Officials released the final polls for the 2012 TC/National Softball Rankings today, with the So Cal A’s out of Ontario, Calif., and Worth Firecrackers from Huntington Beach, Calif., topping the list in all four ranking categories. “We are very excited to release the 2012 FINAL TC/National Softball Rankings,” said TC/National Rankings Official Alyson Morgenstern. “The best fastpitch organizations in the nation are represented throughout our polls and the newly-designed rankings website allows teams to easily navigate and view the final standings.” The So Cal A’s topped the list in the TC/National Point System Rankings by cumulating the most points during the 2012 season. The A’s defeated the Worth Firecrackers, 5-4 in the championship game at the Premier Girls Fastpitch Nationals and took second at the Colorado Independence Days Tournament. For the second straight year, the Worth Firecrackers finished No. 1 in both the Top Overall Program Poll and the Final Blended Rankings. The Worth Firecrackers won the Colorado Fireworks in Aurora, Colo., after defeating the Arizona Storm Gold, 6-0 (No. 14 in Blended Rankings) in the championship game.

 

The TC/National Softball Rankings consists of three components: (1) Top Programs Poll; (2) National Point System (NPS) Ranking; (3) College Player Index (CPI) Ranking. The Top Programs Poll is subjective poll voted on by the top fastpitch club coaches in the country. The National Point System is an objective ranking based upon a cumulative point total recognizing results from a select few national tournaments each year. The College Player Index is an objective poll totaling the number of signed college players on the current roster and the roster from the four previous years. Each point value associated with the three components is weighted and re-calculated into the Blended Rankings. By combining the three separate systems into the Blended Ranking it allows for teams to be ranked based upon a subjective poll, voted by club coaches and media, and two rankings based upon objective criteria or points systems. This BCS-like formula is used to add validity to the TC/National Softball Rankings.
