| May 4, 2024 Five | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Bat testing standard I'm in support of testing...it's doing something about getting illegal bats out of the game. Is it the End All, we'll see...but at least its something. I'm curious about how often is the calibration of the testing equipment going to be validated and the process of getting your bat checked and OK'd before the tournament. |
| May 3, 2024 Five | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New Bat testing standard How often is SSUSA going to check the calibration on their compression testers? I feel that's going to be an issue. I was recently at an event to check out/test new bats. The persons putting on the event had a compression tester so you were able to see the bat out of the wrapper and at the end of the day. One of the guest hitting at the event, also had a compression tester there. The two compression tester numbers didn't match up. There were 5 -10 lbs difference between the two testers. That's a huge discrepancy. After the event, the guest hitter took his compression tester to a shop to get the calibration checked. Per the shop, the guest hitters compression tester was dead on. I don't know how often the person putting on the event has his equipment calibrated. To me, that's going to be an issue, how often is the SSUSA compression tester calibrated - every tournament, every X-number of test, etc. Also, how much is testing the bats going to slow things down at check in - if SSUSA checks & marks bats OK for play at that time. |
| Feb. 18, 2021 Five | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player Ratings I just don't get it - and that's on me, not SSUSA. I don't understand all the stuff it takes to collect, sort and store data. What I don't get is how SSUSA states they don't keep track of payers ratings - they do. I left the game as a Major player. I was gone for 10 years. When I came back - SSUSA said I was a Major player, even though I hadn't played in 10 years. If I still had a major player rating after 10 years of not playing - seems to me, SSUSA keeps track and the records go back a long way. If SSUSA doesn't keep track of players ratings - how can SSUSA tell a manager if a player is eligible to play on a team??? |

| Aug. 24, 2020 Five | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Shirts and Caps at the Worlds Just a thought...maybe SSUSA can work with the vendor and do a pre or post tournament sales online. Players would place orders using the SSUSA or Vendors web site. Then the vendor would how many shirts/hats were ordered. This method would allow them to know if it's cost effective and the actual amount they need. It would solve the "Social Distancing" issue. |
| Aug. 18, 2020 Five | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Gubler fields I didn't like the fields at ALL, but at least we were playing. Thanks SSUSA for getting us out there!!! Maybe the Gubler field people will have time to get them in shape before the Worlds...l |
