I think the only OUT is the out of Order batter.
1 out. All runners return to their base (1st and 3rd). Correct hitter is at bat. IMO

Thanks Dave. Per noted rule (1.35) Our situation was handled to the letter of the noted Rule. Final question: Player being out of Region and NOT on Teams Roster would the same rule be applied?

Discussion: Border States rule

Recently played in another Association Tourney.One player was noted as Playing for a Team that did not touch his Home State and not a "Snow Bird".While the game was in progress Team A protested and it was confirmed Player was in violation. My question is What should be or what is the(SSUSA)immediate penalty to the violating Team /Player in this situation.

What is the "in game" penalty for a Team protested and found to have and using an out of Boundary Player?

Discussion: Thank You Terry Hennessey for the Bat Testing Article

Still no reason to confiscate the Bat. Mark it with an "X". Can't be used DONE! Taking it and sending it ANYWHERE is just redundant if bat is disqualified and Marked with "X" or some other indicator.

Discussion: failed bats

I agree with most of the saftey concerns.My issue is if a bat failsa SSUSA compression test. Mark or identify the bat as "FAILED" and move on. No need to send the bat for testing. The bat failed.Cant be used in SSUSA play. COMPRESSION being the pass/fail criteria. CAN"T use-DON'T use!!! Testing won't make it better or usable if it has already failed COMPRESSION.(Per SSUSA).

(NV and BLD) Why not use chalk to make the box the correct size on the turf Complexes? Chalk rinses away with water when we're (SSUSA) finished. No permanent harm to the turf.

Discussion: Bat standards


A bat that does not pass Compession test does not mean you're "swinging dirty" and or that the bat is altered. I grant the fact that Shaving is an issue and I don't know the answer but,Compression testing isn't it.

Most broken in well used Senior bats will fail compression.There is no way to "break a bat in,"get to a certain Compression point stop and the bat will stay at that Compression.With every swing we're "altering compression". Rules are Rules but, what we are being told is to not "break in" your bat(s).In the eyes of SSUSA Doing so is "alterting" and making the bats illegal use. Bats being confiscated because they fail Compression is a long line of Players bats.

Again . I don't know the answer and Kudos to SSUSA for addressing the problem but the solution and the Standard is not Bat Compression Testing.

Is this batters Box rule only an SSUSA rule or does it apply to all other associations as well?

Tim ?? Please clarify rule on "50 Plat Results"

Teams must play in the tournament championship game to earn and receive awards, including any berth to the Tournament of Champions or other invitational game or event. If a team
declines to play, it will be assessed a forfeit loss and will not be declared a champion.

Scott Harder. I agree. The ball should have to hit any white portion of the plate. Contrary to popular belief the Black frame outline is not considered part of the Plate nor part of it's measurement.

Turning 2,I agree with you to the pint that it is a bad rule.The intent of the 1-1 count was to speed up the game. The real fix is to get rid of the extra foul.

Discussion: New rule on shaved bats

Player asked to leave a team because he swings altered (shaved) bats. Always Has. Player moved to and now plays on your team and still swings "skinny". You pat him on the back and high five each time he hits it 400 cause you need the runs.POSTER. You may not want to NARC and you may not be responsible for what he swings but,Don't post what you won't allow and the consequences if you find out when You Have to KNOW! Can't be missed. C'MON MAN!!!

JohnO28. You made the statement in a contained thread. .
"NOBODY plays for more than 2 teams in a season."

When did this become a rule?
