Thanks Crusher,
I have visited the site and viewed the rule as stated in the 2004 rule book. I also viewed the section titled , 2005 rule changes.

I do not see anything that talks about an exception to the touching states rule for any division, including Major Plus.

In the second message in this string, JAH#4 says that he believes that there is such an exception, and in the 6th message he says that it applies only to the major plus division.

I'm wondering where he got this info so that I might verify it.

Thanks again for the help, & Happy Holidays!

Don, I am still unable to find the location of the NSA rules for the seniors. Is there somewhere on line that I might be able to access them? Thanks in advance.

Billy Mac, Andy25, Fran44, Steve, and the rest of the Thermco team:

I just returned from a business junket to find the string of messages about the bats.

I am so sorry that I asked MK39 to name the teams that he was talking about. From his previous posts in this string and others, I was sure that it was a number of different teams that he was referring to.

having had the misfortune of having to play you guys a number of times this year, there was no way that I would have thought he would name you.

You guys have a great team, with strong hitters right through the lineup. You beat us over and over by base hitting us to death, and the long ball really wasn't a big part of your game.

Please accept my heartfelt apology for asking the question that started this mess. My Bad!!

I can't say that I look forward to playing you again in the upcoming season, unless of course a bunch of your players have retired or moved up to the 55's.

Happy Holidays to you and all the other senior softballers. The season will be here before you know it, and we can all return to the diamonds that are a man's best friend, See ya then.

MK39...thanks for the update on the exemption thing....are players from Cal. anf FL protected from being picked up from neighboring states? It would only make sense that if those states can't pick up players then their players shouldn't be able to be picked up?

Who are these teams with the illegal bats that you keep mentioning. It sounds as if you've got a serious axe to grind.

Don (jah#4) what do you mean by hardship cases? Does this mean that if there is a major plus team in Georgia, then the Georgia player cannot go to play for the Michigan major plus team unless he can show some type of hardship that prevents him from playing on the Georgia team? Maybe I'm thick, but I don't get it. Could you please tell me where I can view the different rules for NSA. Thanks in advance

Thank you JAH#4. Where do you find these rules? I would like to be as informed as possible about such things. Does the out of area allowance only apply if there isn't a team of the same class registered out of your home area, or is it wide open?

My own opinion is that there is no right or wrong of it, there is only the rule, and we have to live by it. Many have said that the rule was changed in ISSA & ISF this year because of a personal agenda by the head of that organization, but the rule is, nevertheless changed, so we all have to deal with it. My understanding is that the ASA has also eliminated the allowance, at the suggestion of this same individual. I'm just trying to find out what is what. Thanks for your help, and good luck in 05.

Does anyone out there know if the NSA is going to allow any exemptions on the geographic restrictions in 2005? Any help would be appreciated.

s the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!!!!

I also find it interesting that the originator of the idea, "AND" it's chief supporter, so far, are from the same "Major Plus" team. I don't suppose that there is a hiddeen agenda of some kind involved in trhis "recommendation"!!!!!!
