Discussion: USSSA Glen Burnie, Md.

Are there any 60 or 65 teams planning on going to Glen Burnie, Md. for the USSSA senior worlds in the weekend of Oct 18?
Thanks,
Donnie
Sat and Sun Oct. 20-21. The usssa site says the 18th.
This is a senior world and nobody is interested. Are there any teams in the Maryland, N.J. and New York area going?
i started a post on this about three weeks ago, no response.
i sent an email to bob holland, he said no one had signed up yet but was talking to 10 tens. We want to put a 50 team in...just waiting to see what happens
Go to vegas! why would you not?
They are different weekends. We will go to Vegas and it is loaded with great teams and also looking to attend here since it is so close.
Turn 2, well you guys are getting in a few touneys.. short turn around.. Good luck!
We are playing back to back in vegas.60 and 65's. That will be the tough part.
Donnie, I went to the web site and there was no real information such as are there Senior bats alowed, home run rule etc.
Can you fill me in.

Mike,
Usssa bats, 2 divisions comp 7 home runs and rec 3 home runs.
I found this, 2 HR for rec and 5 in the compeititve. both are one up and outs. i think they use senior bats. Bob holland is in charge of this.
i was wrong, turn2 was right! DOH!!!!!!!
If 60 AAAs play Fri/Sat/Sun (no Thursday)we will probably go. Not much public info available on this.

I have to agree with this, fri/sat/sun only, will not play if playing on thursday. 50 major.
going by thier website, last year it looks like there was two nationals, one west and one east, total teams for both? 18, give or take a team. 4 teams were the most in any age / skill level.
Maybe bob needs to get on here and explain things.
Google USSSA Senior world.
Then 2012 Mens and Womens Masters Senior World USSSA.
This has contact info and some rules.
Later

USSSA means no senior bats allowed. Only USSSA approved bats may be used.
Most of the USSSA bats are just as hot as the senior bats. We had the yellow mm combats testing a few years ago in the Smokies. We were there to watch the young guys and most of the USSSA bats tested alot hotter than our 2 senior bats. If the believe in the bat tester.
Wagon.We heard back from Bob. 60s will start Fri.
No word on participants yet.
Anybody out there coming?

Tried to contact Bob Holland numberous times since Ocean City tourney on Labor Day. Finally got the skinny. It is a standard USSSA tournament just with age restrictions. Usual pitching antics and low arc are the norm. None of the senior rules you have come to be familiar with will be used. I think Bob is out of touch with the senior game as we know it. In spite of both Glen Burnie Md and Cape May NJ being the same distance from our area, we will choose Cape May that weekend just because we would prefer to use senior equipment and get a good look at our new guys using it.
Bernie.Good points about the Utrip rules (don't mind them) but have you tried a USSSA bat lately? We didn't even own 1 among us so we got one for this. Holycow! Hot! Our guys don't like the fields in either CapeMay venue. Good luck.
