| March 17, 2024 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Player can play defense but cannot bat. Matty507's guess is incorrect ... The official playing rules permit, under certain circumstances, "defense only" (DEFO) players ... I'm not sure what entertainment value anyone may take from the rule, but it's covered fairly extensively in Rulebook §4.5 • AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT RULE on pages 24-25 ... SSUSA recognizes and implements compliance with the Federal rules to ensure that an athlete who may be physically challenged is able to participate ... We believe it's an important rule provision and, accordingly, is unlikely to change or be repealed ... |
| March 16, 2024 SSUSA Staff | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: website has unwanted software Here are two messages from webmaster Scott Flodin earlier this (Saturday) morning: [1] This morning I’m working to remove and protect against another SQL injection where some malicious script is added to user’s browsers. [2] UPDATE: the malicious script has been removed and the website is clean. I’m working to add additional protections to reduce the chances of this happening again. Google continues to show in Crome and Safari web browsers a "site protection warning" which may keep some users away from the website. You will likely receive calls and email on this until Google re-scans the website and marks it as clear. More updates to come. |

| March 7, 2024 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Age Clarification Jimmysaw ...
