| Nov. 12, 2023 mck71 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rose Mofford Sports Complex Thx buddy. At least you are an hour or more ahead of schedule? :-) |
| Nov. 12, 2023 mck71 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rose Mofford Sports Complex Come on Tim, no one cares about bringing water to the dessert, we just want to know who won the 60M! ;-) |

| Nov. 9, 2023 mck71 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rockin Reno Looks like it's more of a typo for 60's, have them playing Friday May 24th to Wednesday June 26th, that is a pretty long weekend but one I wouldn't mind! :-) |
| Oct. 30, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: If you need a player at Orlando Winter World Nov 3-5 Wayne, this is an ISSA event so you will need to leave your state as any teams picking you up must be a border state. Good luck! |
| Oct. 29, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Ft Meyers qualifier Welcome scooter. I would say session 1 (65 and over) early this week and session 2 shortly thereafter. Usually published here a week before the tourney in the red section at top of message board (where you see field assignments). Good luck! |
| Oct. 22, 2023 mck71 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2023 Worlds Click on TOURNAMENTS heading at top Scroll down to Tournament archive: Select 2023 Scroll down to WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS Click on that and when it opens, in the middle section are RESULTS |
| Oct. 18, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Ohio looking No George, at least in the 10 yrs I have been playing they don't rate players, they rate teams. I always tell players asking that the best thing to do if you have any questions about Ratings is call the Home Office on West Coast time. Good luck! |

| Oct. 11, 2023 mck71 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bats allowed Gio - Welcome! Wanted to make sure I read your question correctly. If you are asking once you have a senior card can you use senior bats in USSSA or WSL, then YES if it is a senior tourney (they do have some senior tourneys in those assoc.), NO if it is not a senior tourney (open age tourney). Hope this helps. |
| Sept. 29, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter out of the box IDK3B - I don't think that is why. Sure the pitcher tries to release from a lower position because it's 3 feet from release but most pitchers still release at least from their knee or higher. They have to throw from 50 in Conference, can go back up to 6 ft in Non-Conference. I have watched a LOT of Conference and almost none of them run up, they are all positioned in the front of the box with that back foot middle to front of the plate and simply stride forward. I have see WAY more guys run up in my 10 yrs of senior ball. The rule as written is fine honestly, but the batter box dimension doesn't take into account the plate being a strike hence the conversation. Trying to find a "unified" solution makes the most sense to me but if the rule didn't change I would still play! :-) |
| Sept. 29, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Ohio looking seniorball - pay attn to the Ratings as finishing 3rd in Vegas with 51 team will most def get you moved to Major. They do it by team so if you were there and were on the roster, you will get moved up as well. You can still play AAA but you would count as 1 of the 3 out of Rating players allowed. And that will travel with you to 60 next year as well but I would wait until end of Oct when they finally post move ups and call Home Office if you have any questions, better to know while you are looking. Good luck! |
| Sept. 25, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter out of the box And that is why Vinny I personally like what was proposed by wbaum (OP), make the rule simple and it travels to ANY field. Simply, a batter can not make contact with a ball with BOTH feet in front of the mat/plate, if they do they are out. So basically as an umpire, I am looking to make sure one foot is behind the front of the mat when making contact and I could care less if there is a box or not or even if is it the correct dimensions, right? We are old guys, making things simpler is always better (IMHO). Sounds like Full Count already submitted the proposed rule change in email as suggested, should be an interesting discussion. Of course, someone will say, "what happens to the player standing 4 feet away from the plate?" Great question, but I would probably just throw him and outside short pitch and see what happens! :-) |
| Sept. 21, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: results from session 1. Great job, thx Steph! |
| Sept. 21, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: results from session 1. have you tried looking on the Tournaments page? Top 4 results listed on the bottom left, recaps of finals in pdf at the top of the page. |
| Sept. 21, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 75 Major Plus update Congrats Bruce. Got to meet Ed in Utah last year, played against him, great guy and you guys have a great team. Maybe I will see you at the Sr Camp this year if you are going. Be well my friend, Mike |
| Sept. 19, 2023 mck71 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 49 turning 50 Next Year Any tourney where they use 2024 rosters Rob. SSUSA has a few, Ft Meyers and Phoenix (Winter Worlds) and believe there is a Senior Fall Classic in MD in mid Oct. ISSA has 3, Va Beach, Myrtle Beach and Sanford, FL |
