| Aug. 23, 2024 TAT22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Outcome of Surrendered/Missing Bat and Player? SSUSA, Curious what the outcome was after the surrendered bat that failed compression check at Eastern Nationals, then it went missing? |
| July 22, 2024 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Westerns National Championship Question for SSUSA: When there is only 1 M+ team in their age division for any tourney why is that team not playing in the age bracket with the same team rating? Example for Western Nationals there is 1 60M+ team, is this team going to play in the 60M bracket? Which means giving runs or a player, or are they playing in the same team rating 55M bracket? |
| Nov. 14, 2023 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Question for DD Dave, thanks for the quick response, makes total sense. |
| Nov. 14, 2023 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Question for DD For the Rock N Reno Challenge Cup 2024, I noticed that the 60's division is playing again on Memorial Day weekend. The 60's played last year on Memorial Day weekend, I thought the divisions were supposed to switch it up every year? |
| July 17, 2023 TAT22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Jim Sherman last weekend Jimmy, I MOSTLY agree with your comments but with two exceptions. The outfield grass was high, ground balls immediately stopped in the outfield, making it really hard on the outfielders. I also thought a 7:30am game time on Sunday was completely unnecessary, could have easily started at 8am, which is usually the norm. Field crew, facilities, concessions were all great. |
| Sept. 18, 2022 TAT22 | Topic: Product review Discussion: The new Senior Baden ball. With ALL the issues that SSUSA had with balls this year and it was quite challenging for them obviously. I was pleased with the Baden Ball for World's. Having said that, it is not as good as the Stote, but it was way better than anything that we were supplied with in other tournaments this year by FAR! I will note also that I saw a lot of teams rotating new Baden balls into the game as it seemed they lost performance as the game went on. |
| Dec. 8, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 11 defensive players 65+ I think a lot of players are misunderstanding the new rule. Your team is ALLOWED to have 11 players on defense it doesn't state you MUST have 11. You could continue to play 10 on defense if that's what you want, YOUR CHOICE. |
| Dec. 1, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SSUSA and Bell Bank Park? Dave, knowing SSUSA has to lock in ballparks well in advance of the tourney dates I was more referring to the 2023 schedule. On a broader note, I would like to see cities that we go to year after year for tournaments i.e. Vegas and Reno make a more concerted effort to improve their playing facilities, with a few exceptions like Arroyo Grande and Golden Eagle. The other facilities in these cities have been lacking in upkeep and they're always the subject of numerous complaints every year. I also would like to see SSUSA look to cities that haven't had tournaments played their in some time to see if we could go back to those cities as a way to change things up a bit. I would like to see qualifier tournaments in Salt Lake City, Boise, Albuquerque just to name a few. |
| Nov. 29, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SSUSA and Bell Bank Park? Move the Southwest Championships from Vegas to the Mesa/Phoenix area, beautiful complex and many nice complexes near by! |
| Aug. 18, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: major plus I know one change I would like to see. When a team is bumped to Major+ make it for one year instead of two. A lot of times when a team gets bumped they are on the verge of going up in age classification, or half of the team can go up in age and the other half can't leaving the "younger" players in limbo for the next year and the burden of finding a team that will pick them up and automatically be at the plus level due to the number of players to be picked up. I think making the plus tag apply for only one year would benefit a great number of players. |
| Aug. 10, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: World Championships in NV Brotherhood, I highly doubt Vegas will go into another lockdown. I think the local officials will leave it up to the businesses to require masks indoors, that seems to be the prevailing trend nationwide. I also don't think that the virus infection rates warrant lockdowns, vaccine is available and herd immunity is growing everyday. |
| May 13, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: batter interference Grinder17: When a batter is in the batter box and a ball is pitched and the batter doesn't move and the pitched ball hits the batter on any part of his body that ball is called a ball without hitting the ground and its a dead ball. |
| April 20, 2021 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Southwest Tournament If the different municipalities in Las Vegas are not going to make the effort to improve the playing facilities, I know going forward I am going to suggest to my team that we simply skip this tournament in the future. No need to go to Vegas twice, once a year for World's would be enough for us. |
| Sept. 22, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: C19 at Worlds. SSUSA STAFF: Fantastic job running the World's! 132 teams, 4 complexes and probably over 2,500-3,000 people: players,wives,umps,staff and 3 cases. I think that's a phenomenal accomplishment. |
| Aug. 12, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Saint George Temp Rising Jon44, if the tourney were held in Sacramento like originally planned before Covid, the temps are nearly identical. Fri-107, Sat-108, Sun-106. Bonus is less humidity in St. George. |
| Aug. 1, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA's WESTERN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020 Mikelmart: You are NOT helping the situation at all with unsubstantiated rumors! Please for the sake of all the teams and people attending keep your rumors and sources to yourself and let SSUSA get the TRUTHFUL information out to everybody when and if needed. |
| July 23, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Championships Still going to be very warm in St. George too, close to 100 degrees. My vote and it is a biased one is bring it to Aurora, CO. 12 fields, ONE complex. Weather no where near the heat of Sacramento or St. George. |
| June 15, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western Championships Harri, let's keep SSUSA in the non-political realm. With EVERYTHING else right now so politicized its nice to just go play the game we love without more drama! |
| May 20, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Best changes to improve virus safety? interesting how I can get on an airplane next to 100 other people and fly for 2 plus hours but I can't be on a ball field for 1 hour with 10 other people while maintaining social distance. |
| May 13, 2020 TAT22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Oh Boy! Joey525i, Since The adjective “Chinese” is particularly problematic as it associates the infection with an ethnicity. I guess then that CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC should have just kept calling it the "Wuhan" virus. |
