| Sept. 26, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hows the new ball performing at worlds Dave? Had no issues with ball performance. Funny though, how the cleanliness issue came into play. We had the opposing teams "throw in" the dirty ball(s) [on purpose] knowing that it became tough to see, especially at dusk. |
| Sept. 24, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Bracket Updates Well the committee is doing a terrific job !! To add another quote/cliche... Patience is a virtue (especially when the WORLDS roll around). Any "sniffs" available for the 50 divisions? |
| Sept. 20, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Updated World Champs results TY for the posted results !! One small hole, the completion of the 60 Majors. With the major under-taking of a tournament this large, it's very much appreciated. TY Again !! |
| Sept. 13, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Worlds 70 Major Bracket Logic? Thanks for a very respectful narrative. Just curious, where is it defined (outlined/stated) that the "contested" team gets an automatic (locked-in) #3 seed? |
| Aug. 18, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Getting Bumped Up D˛ In the National Rules Committee Meeting last year (and as noted in the pink priority section) teams will be moved up after the Worlds based on certain percentages (# of teams entered) PASSED on a 10-2 vote. The question is: Will the number of teams affected be "rounded-up" or "rounded-down" because we all know, the math will never allow for an even number? |
| July 27, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Scoring/Updates Interesting observation(s). Two concurrent tourneys with Eastern National getting scoring updates and Western National getting none on tournament specific page(s). |
| July 12, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Deadlines Are posted tournament deadlines like traffic speed limits, just a suggestion or are they adhered to? |
| July 6, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player ranking titahd.. It's been noted in the pink priority header labelled "TEAM RATINGS • Guidelines & Procedures (Rev: 12/15/2015)"... that "Major-Plus players may only play on Major or Major-Plus teams in the same age division, unless it is determined that the player is not a "key" or "impact" player..... These exceptions are decided on an individual basis and approved in writing by the association." Are you that "impact" or "key" player? I have no idea how that is determined... Just sayin' |
| July 1, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tournament Updates Thanks Jerry. Will the posted results be reflected on the tournament page with scoring results? TY Again. And yes, it was HOT, but we survived... |
| June 30, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player ranking COMMENTARY: I struggle terribly with the idea of how a “full team” of Major players, playing down to AAA (straight across R/I) is equitable, (i.e., protecting the lesser skill rated teams). I have always felt that “skill always trumps age”. |
| May 6, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Southern Ca. State Championship Is there a team list available for the 2022 Top Gun Spring Classic? |
| May 2, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tie breaaker(s) Need and education (again). In reviewing the tie breaker(s) criteria as stated in all tournament schedules... It states that the tie breaker method will be as follows: Tie Breakers - Head to head (in full RR only), least runs allowed, run differential, coin toss What is defined as "full RR only"? And how often is "full RR only" in play/used? |
| March 22, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Spring Worlds 60’s x3 (w/ Dbax/FOFO)... Great job SSUSA (staff), D˛ and all involved in session 1. And the posting of results as quickly as they were, are commendable. Great start to 2022. |
| March 1, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Arizona Qualifiers Thanks Dan. I am more curious why almost all other tournaments hosted, have above stated info, the AZ sector does not. Just seems incomplete, void of interest and secondary to all other tourneys. |
| March 1, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Arizona Qualifiers Can someone shed some light on why it is sparse and inconsistent that any information (other than dates, fields and deadlines) is put out in the Arizona Section Qualifiers? List of teams? Schedule(s)? Let alone, Results? Nothing.... |
| Feb. 3, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOP GUN'S INVITATIONAL CLASSIC 2022 While I completely grasp the concept of "orphans" and playing multiple teams,etc. but would another "alternative" have been, leaving everything as you have currently designed, but placing the (2) 60M with the (5) 55AAA's both R/I=6 in a 7 team group(pod) and placing the (3) 60M+ and (3) 55M both R/I=7 in a 6 team group (pod). The other groupings remain unchanged. This is in no means intended as a criticism, just an observation from a guy that has waaaaaaaaay toooooooo much time on his hands !! No amount of money could get me to do what you do... And I mean that with true sincerity. |
| Feb. 3, 2022 HSquared | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOP GUN'S INVITATIONAL CLASSIC 2022 D˛ About this time a year ago you wrote.... "My personal preference is to strive to minimize "equalizers" whenever possible rather than try to force staying in the same age group, so long as the age group straddle is only "one click" ... Putting a 55-Major in with the 50-AAA's (both R/I=7) is rarely an issue ... In any event, my preference is to play "straight up" when possible ... What happened in Cat City? Could/should 55/60's with R/I=6's played amongst themselves and the R/I=7's played amongst themselves as well? Just trying to understand. |
| Jan. 10, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings Thanks D˛. ..... Sorry, one more. Since 60 Major is equal to 55 AAA (using the Ratings Chart) can 5 players from Team A (60 M) plus 4 players from Team B (60 M) and 4 players from Team C (55 AAA) form a new team and play @ 55 AAA? |
| Jan. 7, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings D˛. One last clarification, "ACTUAL history" is defined as how long a period? |
| Jan. 7, 2022 HSquared | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings Thanks D˛. So I guess then, the key point is TWO appearances at any ratings level will "lock" you in at the higher level. |
