Discussion: Pitching screens for tournament play 2026

As a pitcher I'm not a fan of the screens at all...it causes you to alter pitching style and also keeps you from making plays...one thing that's never mentioned (and I know will never happen) but maybe tone down the bats and balls and it wouldn't be an issue but then again all the guys that love hitting it a mile wouldn't be able to do that as much anymore so will never happen...I'm pretty sure I will retire when screens are brought into SSUSA not that that will affect anything when I do...

Discussion: player rankings and eligibility for 2026.

I'm curious too...I have subbed with a 50's team before and didn't even think about it affecting my status on my 60's team...

Discussion: Bracket Updates

Come on we are only 25 years into the new century...just because all the other tournaments (and leagues) are updated before you even get into your car doesn't mean SSUSA needs to do it...

Discussion: Sun Fields

If they really care about players safety then games should never be played with the sun directly in the pitchers eyes

Discussion: Ball for 2025

Please address the ball...we had the same problem at WW in Phoenix only on Friday night where the game started before dusk but as soon as dusk arrived we lost at least 4 balls in the outfield because none of the fielders could see the ball until it was almost on the ground...for some reason some of the balls pick up dirt and it's becoming very dangerous...other then that the balls are fine.

Discussion: 3 losses in bracket play

Would be best if SSUSA would move to 3 seeding games and then a double elimination bracket...this would also help with figuring out all the tie breakers in determining seeding #

Discussion: Player safety

We were in the same boat but were lucky enough to hold our 6 run leadbecause the batters hit grounders that could be seen instead of flyballs that could not be seen...lets just say that one of the complexes in Vegas has horrible lighting that made us wish the sun was back in our eyes instead of having the lights on...

Discussion: hitting up the middle

Way to solve it would be making the bats and/or balls not as lively but then you would hear whining about how hard it is to hit homeruns
