Aug. 15, 2023 Ball4	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Fields for Vegas Worlds I’m sure it will depend on number of teams registered, but will Boulder City complex be used this year?
Oct. 5, 2022 Ball4	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Re-ratings at Vegas Worlds Situation: a team gets a performance promotion for playing well at worlds. The team then decides to move to a higher age bracket. However several players are left behind because they’re not old enough to play at the new age level. Are the players left behind then reclassified to their individual player rating or automatically classified to the new team level?
Sept. 12, 2021 Ball4	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Need clarification Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Batter hits a line drive hitting the runner while standing on 2nd base. Is the runner on 2nd out since he was hit by a batted ball while standing on a base that he is no longer entitled to? Is the ball live or dead?
Aug. 19, 2020 Ball4	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Confirmation on balls for Worlds Which softballs will be using for World's this year? I probably already know but just wanting to confirm.

July 6, 2020 Ball4	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Team list for the Northwest Championships? Hopefully the SSUSA office had a wonderful 4th. Is the Team list for the Northwest Championship available? I checked the tournament listing page but have not seen it updated there. Thanks in advance
June 25, 2020 Ball4	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western National Tournament location Totally thinking out of the box on this one. So critiques are welcome. Western National (7/28-8/2) is a month away - so change it to the Rocky Mtn. Championships, and hold it in Colorado. Work with Scrap Iron to find a new location as the fields in Aurora will not be available for that date. Rocky Mt. Championships (8/21-23) Make this the new Western Championships date because Aurora has committed to the fields to be open. This gives teams a few additional weeks to plan their trip to the tournament. I realize this date is a week after the Spring Worlds in St George UT, but limited dates and facilities makes planning for SSUSA extremely difficult. The facilities in Aurora can handle a major tournament fairly easily. While Aug. is hot in Colorado, it will be no where near the heat of Phoenix or Nevada. I'm also factoring that teams may not want to spend large $$ for multiple out of state trips this year. Make Westerns in Colorado a primary destination and it will attract teams from the Midwest and Texas, but may lose teams from California.

Jan. 29, 2020 Ball4	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 55AAA Colorado team looking for players The Scrap Iron Mile High Team is looking for 1-2 players for this year. Will consider either infield or outfielder. Must be positive team player. If you can't throw to your cutoff man while playing in the outfield, If you like to argue with the umpires and/or the other players, than you're probably not a good fit for our team. Looking for players with AAA/Major experience. If interested, send me your info to jimriley4@gmail.com
