| Aug. 17, 2026 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 2026 ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHAMPIONSHIPS Sunday of Session #2 was a complete washout due to prior rains and a decision by the Aurora Parks & Recreation Department to close the park due to unsafe playing fields ... Official results are awaiting the return (via FedEx) of the event paperwork, but many divisions were decided by "going to the scorecards" for various tiebreakers ... We will post as soon as we can sort it out back here in Sacramento ... Thanks! |

| Aug. 8, 2026 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Top Gun Summer Classic Schedule Modification The Top Gun Summer Classic 2026 is over-subscribed by about 10 teams, across both sessions ... Coupled with reducing the tournament this year from six to five days, that "issue" became a "problem" when scheduling for Friday, the overlap day between both sessions ... To avoid playing four games at 11:30 PM Friday and two more at 12:30 AM Saturday (that's NOT a typo), THREE DIVISIONS (11 teams) WILL PLAY ON SATURDAY & SUNDAY ONLY ... Those three divisions are: MEN'S 40-GOLD • Prestige 40's (CA) • Lokos/Mamado (CA) • OG MISFITS (CA) MEN'S 50/55-PLATINUM • CANVAZ Softball (CA) • Diamond Dogz (CA) • Redeemed (CA) • L.A.F. 55 (CA) • Top Gun Diamonds 55 (CA) WOMEN'S 40/50-GOLD • YAS (CA) • Cash Out 50s (CA) • LOL-Legit Ol' Ladies (CA) Good luck everyone! |

| Aug. 5, 2026 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Cheater Hello Paul ... Normally, we would just delete this entire thread (like we did the other six times you posted it overnight), but since it contains multiple factual errors and related false allegations of cheating, our response is mandated: • The only factually accurate statement in either of your posts is that there were two players on the rosters of a 50-AA team and a 55-AA team, both in your bracket ... That arrangement should NOT have been permitted by SSUSA ... Double-rostering across different age divisions is allowed UNLESS the teams are competing in the same tournament bracket ... We missed it, and there is no excuse for that ... However, immediately upon discovery, we did require the players to designate which team they would play with in the actual Men's 50/55-AA bracket, and they graciously complied ... On Saturday afternoon, the true 50-AA team won BOTH seeding games against the other teams to secure the #1 seed in the bracket ... There was no detrimental effect on the competitive bracket ... _____ • The allegation that SSUSA "..moved us to the 50 AA division, to which we reluctantly agreed.." is false ... You requested to add an underage (54) player to your 55-AA roster at the last minute ... You were told that you were eligible to add him only if you were a 50-AA team for this event ... You accepted that option in order to roster that specific player ... It was solely your decision and SSUSA had no objection ... • We are unclear why you believe there is a rule "..that the players are ejected and both teams disqualified from play.." ... No such rule exists in the SSUSA Rulebook, making your related cheating allegations false ... The incident was simply a correctable error that was remedied ... • There is no evidence that either of the players involved was "illegal" to be on either roster ... The subsequent discovery of SSUSA's error, and remedy, does not constitute cheating by either player or the respective teams ... _____ ** THREAD CLOSED ** |
