Topic: Rules of the game
Discussion: Coin flips

A rule suggestion I made a few years ago gets defeated every year. The rule would be that if an undefeated team in a tournament loses the coin flip in the championship game, they automatically get the choice of home team in the IF game. The reasoning is that the undefeated team proved something ON THE FIELD and doesn't deserve to be the visitor on 2 straight coin flip losses.

I'm not asking people to change their minds. It gets voted down every year. I just want the REASON. All I've heard is "that's how we've always done it." Well, we've always had 10 men on defense in the 65 division, and now that's changing!

How about Rose Mofford. Can we use the soccer fields or other areas?

I just read an article. Here's part of it. Is SSUSA waiting for US to tell them we're not coming?

The coronavirus is coming to you.
It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.
When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.
Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.

Any 75-year-olds available to play this week in Sacramento for the Western Nationals? A crop of injuries have reduced us to 11 for this one. It will be a tough go in that heat. A 70-year-old would have to be released from his team, so I am looking for a 75 player.

Also still waiting for last year's Las Vegas Worlds results for the 70s.

Looks like the 65s got added today. The 70s should be next.

Ended up getting a great deal at Amazon. Pitch Safe pitching screen, ball basket, batting screen, batting tee and three heavy balls for $200 with free delivery!

What is the latest/greatest batting screen that you guys are buying for your teams? I'm looking for a lightweight one that hopefully folds up into a manageable space. Thanks.
