| Dec. 19, 2022 tall_thunder | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Roster olayers Please clarify for me how many major players can be on a AAA Team. Also, part 1, can a roster have too many majors on a roster, but only bring the legal amount to a tournament. And part 2, if the team is a 60 AAA Team, is a guy 65 major, still considered major on the 60 AAA Team. Thanks for your input. |
| Nov. 27, 2022 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Home plate issue Dave, I understand your rule. You know a play at the plate pretty much a bang bang play. When the car her reached out to get the ball, as fast as possible, That mat moves on the reach catch, bang bang, the mat slips, the runner scores. There was no time for any searching for the plate. Come on Dave, you guys really think us ballplayers are stupid when asking these questions? It's a concern, treated with a little respect. |
| Nov. 23, 2022 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Home plate issue Is there some way to solve a moving home plate mat. We had a play a home, the catcher was on the mat, reached ,stretched, out to receive the ball before the runner. In doing so, the mat got pushed away as the catcher was reaching for the ball, which was received by the catcher in the air, causing the catcher not to be on the mat. The runner was called safe. If the mat didn't move, the runner was out. |

| Sept. 1, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds - Field Assignments Hey, it worked when I used my wife's I-Phone, so for now, that's the way I'll go. See ya All in Vegas. |
| Sept. 1, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds - Field Assignments Thanks Dave, I've tried everything. I've been working with Verizon technical support for an hour with no luck. Just heard from a teammate, and his android didn't allow him to download either, but it did on his laptop. Weird. |
| Aug. 31, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds - Field Assignments Trying to get help opening the files for the brackets. Directors closed their threads, so I thought I'd try here. I can't seem to see any of the age brackets, open or download. Been having this problem for about 6 months. Would like to know what I might be doing wrong. Thanks for any suggestions. Be respectful in your response, not everyone is computer literate. |
| March 30, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking to play in Vegas, Looking to help a team in Vegas in April. I can play 55 AAA or Majors. I'm 6'4", 235lbs, hit with power and for average. Play 1st base quite well, can play outfield, EH or even catch. My regular team isn't going so I'm interested in playing with someone that needs a player. I live in Arizona. Randy 602-291-2164 |
| Nov. 17, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Covid concern Boy, these conversations crack me up. On theoutz, you can't drop out or not sign up, or stay home until teams are made aware of an issue. Now teams are aware, they can make their decision. Also, they're only aware if they see this notice. |
| Nov. 17, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Covid concern I was informed that Arizona Sidewinders 65 just dropped out Winter Worlds due to players having the virus. My concern is that these guys also practice during the week with the Arizona Sidewinders 60, and they seem to still be in the tournament. For safety for all, shouldn't these guys get tested. If we end up playing this team, I will be very concerned about my team's health. |
| Sept. 22, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Archie Gubler Fields To the guys who expressed their opinions on Gubler ballfields, I agree, but Mr Dowell will never see our view point. He should run for a political office. The grounds crew was poor, when they watered, they flooded batter's box and never raked it out. The Canyon was better taken care of, awesome fields. With Covid shut down of Vegas, we have to play where we can. |
| Sept. 20, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2020 LVSSA/SSUSA World Masters Game Results!! I believe 4th place in 60 AAA went to Vector Scorpions, out of Florida, the Eastern National and National Champions. Good tournament to all. |
| Aug. 31, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Team forfeiting their seeding games I read a team would not be playing their seeding games, but be at the field for the start of the bracket play. SSUSA stated that the team would be seeded last, which I agree on, but then SSUSA stated that the team would start in the losers bracket, which I don't agree with. SSUSA stated rule 15.5... where are these rules so I can see how you came to this reasoning. Thanks |
| Aug. 21, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Eastern National Tournament Why are brackets for the Eastern National Tournament not filled in, and it says rain out on them? I've tried refreshing, and still nothing. Any suggestions. |
| Aug. 21, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Eastern National Tournament Just got email, all good. Thanks |
| Aug. 20, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Eastern National Tournament I was looking to see what Teams won the Eastern National Tournament, but it states Rain Out. Was the Eastern National Tournament ever played, and if so, where could I find the results. Thanks |
| Aug. 17, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: My compliments to all the umps I'd like to thank ALL the umpires that participated in Western Nationals Tournament. The weather was HOT, and heat exhaustion was present. I heard of one umpire that suffered from that, and hope he is doing well. I appreciate each one of you that withstood the heat and called a great tournament. That could not of been easy. Stay safe, and hope for cooler temps in September. |
| July 7, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Az player wanting to play in Western Nationals Gee, I have to answer my own ad. Since SSUSA figured out when the Western Nationals were going to be held, I'll be playing with my own team in it. See ya in St. George. |
| July 7, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Az player wanting to play in Western Nationals I'm looking to play in the Western Nationals Tournament. I play 55 majors and 60s. I hit 750+, have good power, and play a pretty good first base, I'm 6'5", can't miss me at first. Ha,ha. My team can't field enough guys, so I'm available to help another team. Thanks. Randy, 602-291-2164. |
| July 6, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Western National Tournament Cancelled ??? I think I caught on. You haven't cancelled the tournament, but don't have a sight. Am I close ?? So, is it too late to get in the tournament??, that we don't know where it will be held ? When is the latest possible date for you, SSUSA, to give us about location or postponement. We do need to make reservations of some kind, somewheres. |
