Jan. 15, 2025 Dbrown5 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batting or fielding team leaves their gate open by accident I would respectfully disagree with BJ’s answer. It is not the umpire’s job to determine who left a gate open. Their job is to determine if the ball goes out of play and then award the appropriate bases. On the same note, a good umpire will remind players about things like closing gates and keeping equipment in the dugout. |
Nov. 8, 2022 Dbrown5 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA Staff - Tropical Storm Nicole Dave - while I understand and empathize with the dilemma of cancellations, I don’t believe the spirit of that rule is intended for tropical storms/hurricanes. I would hope that SSUSA would consider the expenses each player incurs for a tournament like this. That said, I will be there with my team to play whenever fields are ready |
