What is the compression # for passing/failing. If you can't make coaches meeting is there another opportunity to be tested at fields?

Couldnt find a rule stating this....
If 50 Major plays 50 AAA teams...how many homeruns would be allowed?
Understand Major gives 5 runs and would be Home Team..

Thanks in advance just looking for clarification...

Great scenario discussion...I do have a question regarding "Commit Line"...
If/when runner crosses this line and tries to retreat back to 3rd...are you simply out ? Or does the defense have to tag you or touch home plate? Seems runner should need to be tagged or plate touched...for an out...unless totally for safety and zero tolerance for retreat from commit line.
Thanks in advance!

Discussion: CHOPPED / TOMAHAWKED BALL

Here in Texas...there is quiet a bit of "chopping"...but when I chop the goal is to beat the infield as the outfield is playing deep....is a full swing to hit over infield...usually is indefensible as ball drops before it reaches the outfielder...
I have also been accused of the Tomahawk...but this generally occurs because of a high arc pitch that i swing at when its above my head...i do this because when struck in correct spot it generates backspin and creates a good hard line drive....

I swing from 2 O'clock to 7oclock trying to hit ball just above center...

Cant stop da Chop!!😉

Discussion: How do you like the 1 n 1 count?

I’m new to SSUSA.....have played in tournaments this year (40+&50+) different rules regarding 1&1 count with and without extra foul....what will the rule for this be in Las Vegas for Championships....just trying to prepare ahead of time as a 1&1 with no extra foul is a different approach (for me at least)...thanks in advance and safe travels and good luck to all...even at the gambling tables!
