I noticed that this week's tournament in Flagstaff is accepting teams utilizing players younger than their age bracket without being an exhibition team. Is this a new rule?
Bob ... There have been NO SSUSA Official Rules changes since the January meeting of the National Rules Committee ... The current Rulebook is available electronically from this website and also available in a new printed version ... Good luck ...
VegasBob... Are you implying (example) that 50 or 55 yr olds are being "allowed" to play in the 60 division? Likewise, 60 yr olds, playing in the 65 division?
I'm sorry but I neglected to say this is being applied to the 70's division which I thought couldn't use underage players.
When there are mixed divisions, Rick tries to do his best to allow everyone to play. If you know for sure someone is trying to pull a fast one, just let him know.
HSquared, yes, I know for a fact that underaged players are being allowed to play for 70+ and below without being an exhibition team. I do realize there are age exemptions for teams 75+ and above. This is an SSUSA Qualifier and not a recreational tournament. I only ask about this because it seems to not be in line with Rule 13.2(4)B, and I would like to know if teams I am on in the future get the same exemption.
softball4b: I won't mention any teams as it may look like I have an agenda here, which I don't, but it is a fact.
If no agenda then not worth mentioning. IMO
