Sorry to hear of the loss to your team and families. To play at the age we do is a true testament to the love of the game and our team-mates. Take solice in knowing that he got to do what he loved one last time. God Bless Barry and your families.

Discussion: Explanation please

I apologize for being incorrect on the sponsor exemption. The 20 year thing may be way out there but, it still stands for 10 years(which is not "statistically out of the realm"). Whether you want to believe it or not their are alot less options for someone(who wants to) to move up classes. I just don't understand why people should be penalized and not able to play(because they have no other option. Cumulative R/I may be a better system. 50AAA are allowed 3 Major players at a 24 R/I so why not allow 24 or less R/I before a bump?

Like I said I don't want to be combative. Maybe my example will never happen but, the logic is 100 percent correct. If players are sitting out 2 years in their 50s or 60s to move down classes that's pathetic and their loss of good playing years.

Well Dave since you didn't take the time to read my previous posts("the reply was" so I obviously contacted someone) and just wanted to interject your thoughts I did contact the office and I was correct the 70+ player is still considered 50 Major+. If he wanted to play 50s he is considered 50 Major+ even at 70 nice. Until he plays 70 Major+ So if he wanted to play 60s he is 60 Major+ so twenty years make no difference in the rating. Also your ratings don't take into account someone on a roster as a sponsor or coach. So someone who has never played a game at Major+ but, was on a roster(regardless of skill level)is still Major+ Maybe you need to look into individual ratings. You can deem someone an "impact player" so you must have some knowledge of players.

I'm not trying to be combative. I'm just pointing out that it makes no sense. I would understand if they played 50+major at 55 but, they didn't even do that. They were in the 50s group when they played.

No one is dealing in hypotheticals or "what ifs" these are facts. Two 55 year old who haven't played for two years are being classified as 50 Major+. The reply was age does not matter because they haven't played 55 major+. That's because they haven't played competive ball in two years. With that logic a 70 year old who hasn't played in 20 years but, last played 50 major+ is still 50 major+ if they want to return to ball lol.

Can someone please explain to me how 2 players that played 2 years ago in 50s Major+ (and haven't played since then)who are now 55 are still considered 50 Major+ and not 55 Major+?

Danny some hope for you. One of my best friends and teammates has had 5 knee surgeries including a couple meniscus tears. He is having another scope done soon. He will be 50 and stills plays center field(playing 5 man) on our Usssa team. So don't fret.
