Discussion: Courtesy Runner?

Dave--this is not a runner replaced. I understand that, this is a courtesy runner for someone else, they then come to bat and get on...can they have a courtesy runner. Thanks D2

Discussion: Courtesy Runner?

Same inning.
If you run for someone else, then come to bat and get on.
Can you have someone else run for you all with the courtesy runner rules?
Thanks much appreciated.
If the answer is no can you point me to the rule and section.

Discussion: Pitching Rule

Does the pitcher have to start with the ball being presented outside his or her glove? I don’t see this explained anywhere in the SSUSA rules. Thanks

Discussion: Baden Senior Softball

This post has gone sideways. All I asked was if Baden was looking into a different skin for this softball. Before this ball was adopted by SSUSA there was a player who tested its performance etc. Once again all I am asking from Baden and SSUSA is there any future plans for improving it

I like the performance of this ball since its adoption by SSUSA.
Is there going to be any chance for changes down the road? The cover gets very slick and dirty in a few innings. As noted above the performance is good, just asking for improvements on the cover. Thanks

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.

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

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

Thanks as always
One last ?
If it is an innocent repair can it still be used.

Thanks again much appreciated

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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”.
