July 29, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Medical exemption I just heard of something called a medical exemption. What is it? What is the criteria? |
July 27, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for Western Nationals And ni compression rating on the balls |
July 27, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ball for Western Nationals Worth ball, 12" yellow mushball that's a true embarrassment to the game. Beware. |
July 5, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player ranking So if a player plays in two tournaments in 2023 at a lower age group and gets the next higher rating does that rating carry over into his/her 2024 rating? |
June 30, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player ranking I'm going to chime in before hearing from Dave or Tim. Why penalize a team or players if someone decides to play DOWN in an age group or even two by increasing their player rating? If someone is rated a certain rating then that rating should not change regardless. If a player is 69 years old on a 65 team and plays on a 60's team where the youngest player could possibly be 59 why jeopardize his rating if he plays two tournaments with a 60's team being possibly 10 years older than the youngest player. That's there choice and the choice of the team. I know the new rule states that only three such players would be affected per scenario but why even have the rule at all? This could possibly hamstring teams that find it difficult to field teams due to a lack of players due to geographical limitations, injuries, COVID, other personal commitments and even death, thus limiting the amount of teams per tournament' What circumstances brought this about? Why this rule change now to be implemented in 2023 and not at the annual meeting where players and managers can be present to discuss the new change? |
June 28, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player ranking In response to the email yesterday I do have a question. If a player is on a 65 AAA team and plays on a 55AAA team is he now considered a 65 major+ player after two tournaments? |
June 23, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Nationals Thanks Dave, would love to have you at the state capitol. |
June 21, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Nationals Dave if memory serves me you answered the same question about Carson City before the dues were in. |
June 18, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Nationals Any idea what age groups might be playing in Lincoln or Elk Grove? |

May 20, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Commitment line on a tag up. Of course all of this is predicated on what the umpire saw. If the 2B runner was already past the commitment line it should be he was an obvious out because he never made it back to 2B when the shortstop touched the bag. There would then have to be an assumption of the runner at first tagging up. If the umpire is looking at the catch he would then have to look at the 1B runner for the tag up since the 2B runner took himself completely out of the play. The only argument would be from either team on the tag/no tag which the umpire would then have to determine DP or TP. |
May 2, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Adding a higher rated player Can a 65AAA team add one player from a Major team of the same age bracket? |
April 28, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Carson City Has SSUSA determined which age groups are playing in Carson City for the Rocking Reno Tournament? |
March 29, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Possibility of a DH? I know slow pitch softball is a game based on offense ( not solely though). I wonder if a DH rule has ever been considered. There are some teams that try to hide a less than stellar hitter at the bottom of the order, what if that hitter can remain a benefit on defense but be replaced by a more competent hitter on offense? I know I'll receive blow back from traditionalists (See National League until this year)but why not??? |

Feb. 13, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Jersey I ended up going with Rover Plus Nine out of Texas. I worked with Phil and he did a great job with communication, artwork, follow up, etc. Two week lead time plus shipping, two thumbs up. |
Feb. 1, 2022 Mikelmart | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team Jersey Any secret in getting in touch with this company, I've been trying since last week with no response. Plus I tried their online design options and it's not very user friendly. |
Nov. 28, 2021 Mikelmart | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SSUSA and Bell Bank Park? Western Nationals moved from Sacramento to Phoenix? Pass. Go from 98 to 115 degrees? I don't think so. |
