SSUSA and LVSSA
I have no dawg in this fight and have played in multiple LVSSA and SSUSA events over the past 20+ years. Divorce is never pleasant, “who gets the stuff, who gets the kids, who gets the friends.” My take on the situation is more is better. If LVSSA thinks it can improve its position for the organization and its members, go for it. The more organizations and events “might” bring down the cost of the product (tourneys) overall or it may not. Options are options and I have friends associated with both organizations, same with SPA and ISSA. Either way airing issues publicly is not beneficial to anyone. If one organization has a legal complaint, we have systems in place to litigate same. If one organization is a better marketer (?) or negotiator then that will be demonstrated in more attractive dates and attendance. If the product is not up to par due to experience or lack there of, that will be demonstrated by comments and or resulting attendance. Please everyone take a breath and let the free market work. Stay safe and “Play Ball”.

My limited experience with the SSUSA and LVSSA joined agreement was NOT good. The LVSSA as far as my own opinion was, Wanting. The care of the Fields was poor at best. As a Manager I had to search for LVSSA personal to groom the Fields. In 2019 I could NOT find anyone to groom our Field so we played on poor infield conditions. In 2020 I did find a couple of LVASS personal to Groom our Field. I actually thanked them on this Message Board for their efforts as well as when they did the Grooming. To make clear , the Fields were in VERY bad conditions when I looked to have the Fields Groomed. We ALL pay for the Fields to be Groomed and for a Professionally Run Tourney, (especially this Elite Senior Tournament). SSUSA did their part as far as I can ascertain, LVSSA was lacking as to their part of the agreement. First impressions are critical. I am aware that LVSSA is putting on a Tourney, hope it works out well for them. But, my Organization will forgo the invitation, based on their negative comments of SSUSA and their inability to uphold their responsibility with their collaboration with SSUSA.
With Respect,
Tomar
