Discussion: A new Novel. A great read!

For Softball enthusiasts of all ages. Check out my new novel WE GOT HAMMER based upon experiences playing in local leagues and senior travel tournaments. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. A great gift and a great read. The book can be found as a paperback and e-book on Amazon. https://a.co/d/98VwDCw

Discussion: Crabtown Classic Glen Burnie, MD

Tournament is just about two weeks away. County government in MD still lists the Bachman Park complex as closed to organized athletic activity. Would really like to get a handle on team logistics and planning to prevent a last minute scramble. Hoping for an update from SSUSA soon

Cookie, you are alas, spot on. It is about the money. Not certain how much it would have cost the SSUSA to further delay or ultimately cancel this tournament. Whatever the cost, they should have cancelled this one if they truly cared about their dues paying cardholders. Played two 5-inning games on Friday on fields that were arguably unplayable and not safe at all. Shame.

Discussion: Weather policy

The SSUSA weather policy is outrageous. Even if the home office in Sacramento is 2500 miles away, there is no reason why reasonable officials on site at tournaments cannot evaluate conditions AND use any of a number of forecasting services to realize that a tournament should be definitively postponed or cancelled. Players are travelling great distances and incurring expenses to get to and stay at tournament venues only to sit around and ultimately be told there will be no games played. Case in point, Loudon, VA this weekend. 100% chance of ("1 inch or more"!) rain forecast for Friday after being wet all week. More rain forecast for Saturday. This is absurd.
