Once the event is completed, the usssa.com system must be manually configured to show the final placings and award the correct amount of corresponding points.  Until this is done, the results may not show as final or be correct.  We do this process for each event on Monday, which may take up through midnight on Monday to completely update and reflect accurate results.

All Protests are $50 Cash, if you win your Protest you get your money back. ​
