| Jan. 25, 2008 Davy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: hitting the pitcher Have played alot of ball over the years at many different levels and positions. What a GREAT GAME! My take is: Agree with Einstein. Hitting the pitcher should be an out and if intentional, automatic ejection. Should also apply for all age groups and skill levels. The solution to Major plus teams having no one to play or National tournaments without parity is really quite simple. Northern Calif. ranks its 105 teams covering all age groups from 1 to 105 based on games won and lost and strength of opponent. The best team in Northern Calif, is of course a 50 major plus team and the worst is a 75 AA team. Major plus/major teams usually play down an age group, ie. 60 major plus plays 55 major or AAA and so on for all age groups. It takes a bit of thinking to rank the teams but it insures equal and plentiful competition. Actually SSUSA already seeds teams. What needs to change is the present concept of rigid age groups at the national level. Bring in some 40/45 teams for the 50 Major Plus teams to play. The rest of the teams and age groups will fall into ranking quite easily. |
| Aug. 25, 2004 Davy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Senior Softball credibility at Fresno The 65 divison at Fresno was advertised on the web site and at the park as 8 teams playing round robin with upper 4 teams in Gold div. and lower 4 teams in Silver Div, playing double elimination. The upper 4 teams were Fairway Ford and Seals, both 4 and 0 and Brea Merchants and So Cal Panthers 2 and 2. The lower 4 teams were all 1 and 3. Just before the start of the Gold and Silver brackets, Senior Softball officals changed the format after complaints by Brea Merchants and So. Cal Panthers who didn't want to play Fairway or the Seals. As a result of the change the Gold bracket was just Fairway and the Seals and 6 teams in the Silver bracket. Brea Merchants ended up playing So. Cal Panthers for the Silver bracket championship The lower 4 teams got screwed. Forget Las Vegas Championship? |
