Discussion: Eastern Nationals Results

Tim, it seems you and I always end up on the same subject.

I just wish that one day this point would go away and SSUSA would get their act together and find a way to post updates, maybe daily.

just asking.

we are living in 2024 not 1984

I know its very difficult to fill in the seeding and bracket games on the board, but is it possible to write in a message the results from each age group.

it would be nice to know officially how teams did.

Discussion: 2023 to 2024

Staff: a player who was registered in 2023 season with a fully paid players card that has now expired, qualified for the TOC is playing in that tournament and maybe that tournament only, why do they have to renew for the upcoming season?

What staff needs to do is refresh the whole list, it shows 60's teams from 2007 and 2013 as Major plus.

Don't think they are still playing 60 ball. LMAO.

Discussion: 35-35 Amazing!

In 2018 playing 55 majors, team's number 3,4,and 5 hitter went a combined 93 for 99 in 8 games. Team never trailed in any inning, never exceeded the home run limit and swept the tournament 8 & 0 (Vegas Worlds).

number 3 hitter made 1 out (32 for 33)

number 4 hitter made 2 outs (31 for 33)

number 5 hitter made 3 outs. (30 for 33)

I think that was pretty good.

Discussion: Southern Nationals

Moving up is a measure of a good team, I agree with that, but moving up in the middle of the season is ridiculous. How can they expect to move a team just before the eastern nationals and force them to play with the same roster.

SSUSA expects that team who has no major plus (due to AAA rules) to go out and compete against Major teams who may have up to 3 major plus players on team.

This is not meant to cry on here, just meant for staff to see how it be expected that a AAA team can compete under those rules

No problem with being moved up, just let the team play under the same rules.

also even if it was allowed to pick up 3 new players what do you tell the 3 that have been with you all year and have paid for tickets and hotels to travel to Virginia that they are going to sit.

How would anybody who has played this GAME like it?

I don't think that mid season moving up or down is fair to anybody.

Discussion: re classification

Another fact we beat a team 5 times which is playing AAA 60's because they don't want to play 65 majors, their average age is well above 65. please explain how that's considered a good win?

Discussion: re classification

So, let me get this straight.

Our team wins in the winter national 9 team bracket, then wins in the spring nationals 3 team bracket (looses against 2 major teams) and then wins a qualifier 2 team bracket.

this is a reason to be moved to Majors.

give me a break!

and to top it off we are going to the eastern nationals and you want us to play against Major teams, how is that fair. with no previous exposure to that division. we played against 2 major teams in the spring seeding games and lost both.

someone in home office needs to get a clue.

I want to play against the best every where I go, but you can't ask this team to move up in the middle of the season based upon these results.

Topic: Bats
Discussion: usssa bats

Reading the new policy "Beginning Nov. 1, 2023, Bats must be marked with the SSUSA/NTS Logo, or marked SSUSA approved (or have SSUSA logo), with 1.21 BPF or less."

I hope this policy is moving forward, and does not mean that existing bat are band, correct?

This is more for new bats coming out, correct?

just wanting clarification.

Nancy, I love it.

reminds me of a play when I use to coach optimist baseball.

Runner attempts to steal second , catcher throws down, SS comes in front of the throw and cuts ball off, runner is standing on bag, SS tells runner it was a foul ball and runner heads back to first, SS tags runner out.

Needless to say other coach not happy, my response teach your kids to listen to umpires not the other team.

All's fair in love and baseball. :)

sorry do not ever want to see a net.

Discussion: Pitching Net

The net is great for league play, that allows for a lot more senior ball players to play this game.

As for tournament play, I do ever want to see a net. If you are a tournament player and want to pitch "gear up" if not find another position.

Also if you play in a league that has a net and you as a pitcher make the decision you want to come around the net, then that is on you, don't like the mandatory staying behind the net rule. Let grown men make there own decisions if the want to come out of the protection of the net.

My 2 cents.
