July 24, 2024 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Rule covering runner touching base On a related note, Bruce M quoted this rule. (If the runner steps through the batter's box or touches home plate, they would be out as well.) In the Syracuse tourney we had a runner called out because he ran "to close" (umpire's call) to the batters box. Umpire said it did not matter, it was his decision. He was close (4 inches?) but not in box.

July 21, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 80s schedule - SSUSA's EASTERN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023 • Thanks Dave, just poking the bear.
July 21, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 80s schedule - SSUSA's EASTERN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023 • I see you still have my NorEasters 80s playing 2 games at 9:30. Unfortunately, I only have 13 players. Can we get this changed?
July 9, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Westminster MD tourney July 13-14 Tim, unfortunately the NorEasters are still looking for more players. I have a roster of 21 players but only have 10 bodies to go to Westminster. We are still looking for players but if we can't find at at least 1 or 2 more players by Tues PM we will not be able to come. Wish us luck. Not that you need to know but here is what I'm dealing with (11 players): sick wives, sick sister, knee problems, eye injury, college orientation, vacation, heart problems and a death in the family (as of today).
July 5, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Westminster MD tourney July 13-14 My team paid their entry fee but we didn't get a list. Why aren't teams listed on the tournament website as has been the normal in the past?
July 4, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Westminster MD tourney July 13-14 When will there be a list of teams playing in this tourney?
May 21, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 80s Teams going to the York, PA tourney June 15-16 ?? Any 80s teams going to the York PA tourney? The Proton SSUSA/SPA Battle of the Roses. The NorEasters 80s want to play.

May 9, 2023 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: NORTHEAST CHAMPIONSHIPS From NorEasters 80s...No 80s at Syr last year. We are most likely going to go to the: 2023 Proton Sports Presents the Bert Bennett Memorial (SSUSA) July 13-14 (thurs/fri) in Westminster, MD 2 day tourney $500 Syr is 3 days and $650 I believe Pittsburgh and Peachtree are also looking to go to this tourney. So there could be 4 teams. More info may be available from Fred @ 724-662-4947 (Pittsburgh team). Ken
Jan. 15, 2023 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Change in Player Eligibility for 75+ and 80+ Teams As a manager of an 80s team, I agree that this is a significant problem for filling a roster. It basically takes away 4 possible players when it is already difficult to find/replace guys. All 80s managers in the East I have talked to have the same problem. We have a problem getting 3 AAA teams to a tourney as it is.
Nov. 17, 2022 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter National results Anybody know the results of the 80s ???
Nov. 14, 2022 4040club	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter National results What about results for 80s?
Aug. 5, 2022 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first Thanks Dave, this was specified by the umps before our games in the 80s division. "Batter/runners touching any portion of the white base on a play at 1st will be called out."
July 29, 2022 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first Umpires and rule 8.4(1) Rule states "the batter-runner must touch SOME PORTION of the double bag extending into foul territory". Umpires at Eastern Nationals stated at the beginning of each game that if the batter-runner touches any part of the white bag they are out. I referenced the rule but they would not check. As it turned out we had one play at 1st where the runner touched half orange half white. He beat the throw but the ump called him out for touching the white bag. Does this rule change for certain tourneys or umpire association?? Otherwise, our team had no problem with the running of the tourney.
July 9, 2022 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first Conversely, What if the batter/runner touches the white bag first and then drags his foot across the orange base ?? Safe? if he beats the throw.
July 8, 2022 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: defender touching first base orange bag first Isn't there a safety rule where the defender must touch the white not the orange and the batter/runner must touch the orange ??

Aug. 16, 2020 4040club	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: 1-1 count Is it true that a 1-1 starting count is in effect for ALL age groups in all tourneys ??
