| May 11, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Courtesy Runner We have it happen in every tournament where someone gets pissed off if they’re asked to have a runner. It actually becomes more of a joke and we all wait to see how pissed off the person gets. If someone is faster than me and wants to run….God bless. If you’re ego is chasing you in your 60’s or 70’s might want to set your sights on bigger things. |
| April 29, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2 Person Umpiring Position Playing in Vegas earlier this month we played a game with a 2 person umpiring crew. The field umpire with a runner on 1st took a position in front of second base. In between the pitcher and the base. I asked if he could move since I was at SS. He insisted on telling me how long he has umpired and that he would make sure he got out of the way. My issue wasn’t that he would get out of the way but rather it was just another body in the middle of the infield and still can understand why he had to stand there. In looking on the web for 2 person umpiring it shows the field umpire outside the dirt between 2nd and 1st. It also states that the umpire should always have the play in front of them. Anyone have thoughts as to the benefit standing in front of 2nd base? Thanks |
| April 19, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batters Box Rule I agree with the rule however when there is no line where does it state that it’s a judgement call by the umpire in our rule? I believe there is something that states the batter can not intentionally remove the lined batters box but with no line what’s the call and why? Thanks |
| March 28, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: Bats Discussion: End Cap Thanks as always One last ? If it is an innocent repair can it still be used. Thanks again much appreciated |
| March 28, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: Bats Discussion: End Cap If an end cap comes off can you replace it or is it considered an altered bat? I can find what U trip states however I can’t find what SSUSA says. Thanks |

| Jan. 18, 2023 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 4 Game or 5 Game Guarantee?? It looks like all TOC’s are 4 game guarantees. Is that true? Was this mentioned beforehand on this board? Thanks. |

| Oct. 2, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter World’s Field Locations Will the WW field locations come out prior to the entry fee deadline so that hotel accommodations can be made? Just asking and I know that they are draft locations, nothing concrete. Thanks |
| Sept. 25, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Poor planning in vegas Played 65 M at Arroyo Grande this past Wednesday and I needed some water. Asked my wife who was keeping our book and she didn’t have any it was still at the car. Our home plate umpire gave me his water. Just thought that was outstanding and It was very much appreciated. Later I gave him a bottle from the car. Thanks |
| Sept. 16, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hows the new ball performing at worlds Dave? Yankeesfan12 Ironic that you maybe a Yankee fan talking about small ball. I wish we could go back 30 years ago but that ship has sailed. Thus we’re in the year 2022 using senior bats and not wooden ones. I appreciate you bringing us back in time. Metal spikes, no home plate mats or scoring lines. Oh my! |

| Sept. 3, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Baden Balls Doerbaum, thanks for sharing. How did you get your hands on that ball? Is there a site where they can be purchased or are you one of the manufacturer “tester’s”. |
| Aug. 31, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Baden Balls Thanks again for the update. The Baden website says coming soon and we know SSUSA bought 700 dozen for Vegas however they indicate that they hadn’t received them yet. Does anyone know when they’re going to be available to purchase? Thanks |
| Aug. 26, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Which Baden softball is going to be used in Vegas for the Worlds? Tattooball. This is great news and thanks for helping and testing this new ball. DD said they bought out the allotment of these balls. On the Baden website it states coming soon. Do you have any timeline on when they’ll be available for purchase? They say China on them…..which most softballs do….those other manufacturers have been on the ship’s for years now. The Rock distribution chain just keeps moving the arrival date out every 3 months. Thanks again for sharing |

| July 12, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA Columbus ID Good morning—-does the ISA put out a general information tournament newsletter as to what to expect next week in Columbus? First time going there. Thanks |
| July 2, 2022 NYGNYY | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Softballs Currently my understanding is that “SSUSA Softballs” are extremely hard to find and based upon the current market conditions no where to be found until at best late August which was June before that. In our league we follow exact SSUSA rules regarding softballs specific to 44/375—Stote. I’ve tried to explain all of the above regarding supply issue’s and yet there is a belief that we have to stay within our rules at least with the 44/375. Can anyone clearly explain the actual difference between a 44/375 and a44/400 in terms such as distance etc? We’ve tried a different 44/375 and in the heat it sucks. Btw our league is in AZ. How does SSUSA get around the actual rule issue. Last ? what ball is going to be used in the ISA Columbus IN tournament since that a little different then a SSUSA TOC. Thanks and I appreciate any help with the explanations |
