| Feb. 5, 2013 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 1-1 count no extra foul tourney One tournament does not make it a fact Unless you have run some tournaments, more than one, you do not understand how mean, unkind,etc. SS players can be. A tournament director would try anything to make you all happy---1 and 1 did not do the trick---if you want to get 7 inning within your 60 min+ one inning: 1. The coachs need to get their line up in on time. 2. The coachs need to be at home plate ready to flip. 3. The next batter needs to be standing ready to bat not shooting the S it the dug out. 4. If the coach is going to put in a runner have him ready. I also play and we all know who will need a runner before game starts. 5. Some teams still want to throw the ball around each inning. Some want to throw it around after an out. 6. If I start the first game at 7:30AM or 8:00AM so that we can get all the games in by supper I get compliants. 7. If we start a game after 4:00PM or 5:00PM you get compliants. 8. Etc I have tried 1 and 1--it is not the ansewer---if you guys want to play 7 innings--- make sure you and your team is ready to play when the clock starts and keep to game moving. If you see that the umpire is not ready call the tournament director---unpires are a problem also---they do not take charge of the game and keep it moving Etc wes |

| Dec. 25, 2012 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: This is the best one I have seen By Cameo Smith Mt. Wolf, Pa Twas' 11 days before Christmas, around 9:38 when 20 beautifull children stormed through heaven's gate Their smiles were contagious, their laughter filled the air They could hardly belive all the beauty they saw there They were filled with such joy, they didn't know what to say They remembered nothing of what had happened earlier that day "Where are we?" asked a little girl, as quiet as a mouse "This is heaven." declared a small boy, "we're spending Christmas at God's house When what to their wondering eyes did appear but Jesus, theit Savior, the children gather near. He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same. Then He opened His arms and He called them by name. And in that moment was joy, that only heaven can bring. Those children all flew into the arms of their King. And as they lingered in the warmth of His embrace. one small girl turned and looked at Jesus' face. And as if He could read all the questions she had He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad" Then He looked down on earth, the world far below. He saw all of the hurt, the sorrow, and woe Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched His hand "Let My power and presence re-enter this land "May this country be delivered from the hands of fools" I'm taking back my nation. I'm taking back my schools!" Then He and the children stood up without a sound. "Come now my chilfren, let me show you around" Excitement filled the space, some skipped and some ran. All displaying enthusiasm that only a small childs can. and I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of sight, "In the midst of this darkness, I AM STILL THE LIGHT." |

| Dec. 13, 2012 Wes | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: one out bases loaded That's great thanks but the 64,000 ??? still is if he is forced to vacate and does not by standing on the base--if I tag him is he out or do I have to throw home??? |
| Dec. 12, 2012 Wes | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: one out bases loaded Staff thanks again, is there a section in the rulls that say that the runner on 3rd must "vacate the bag"??? I started playing third 2 years ago and the first time it came up was when I tag the runner standing on third then steped on the bag and then threw to second. Ump called it a double play telling me the only way to get the runner out at third was to tag him while he is off the bag or throw home. the wood is right it happens alot and there is no clear ruling from SPA or SSUSA unpires--I have also ask SPA for rulling in writing. |
| Dec. 10, 2012 Wes | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: one out bases loaded Ground balls Thanks Staff the umpires were very clear that the runners did not have to move. Sisavic that's why you must throw home first unless you can tag him before he get's back to third |
| Dec. 10, 2012 Wes | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: one out bases loaded Bases loaded one out ball hit to third base,third baseman catchs ball tags the runner standing on third base then tags runner coming from second base--double play--NO unpire said you must throw to home and then back to third--Ok Same tournament new umpire base loaded one out, ball hit to third, third baseman catchs it (WOW two times in a row)throws it to home plate, catcher throws it back to third baseman and he tags the runner coming from second. double play--NO umpire said that the runner on third does not have to run as long as he stays on the base you can not put him out. STAFF I would like to get a ruling on this that I can put in my bag to show the next umpire what the rull is---I do not know which right If runner does not have to run then if all runner stay on thier bag who is out the batter---also if batter hit's to second base and runner does not run to second but stays on first who is out the batter---this would stop all double plays |
| Dec. 2, 2012 Wes | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Grading the Rule Changes 1. 1 and 1 does not speed up the game you just think it does 2. Pitcher like it because it's one less strike they have to put in play 3. If you want to speed the game up have your on deck batter standing in the on deck circle and NOT in the dugout shooting the s---. 4. If you want to speed the game up stop taking 3-5 min to put in a substitute runner |
| Oct. 24, 2012 Wes | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: NEED 1 OR 2 AA or AAA PLAYERS FOR WINTER WORLDS IN PHOENIX 65'S What state are you in????? Wes |

| July 13, 2012 Wes | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: PLAYER RELEASE ALL OF THE ABOVE This is a major problem I think and I'm not sure that it's a single players fault or a managers fault. I would play two or three weeks a month if I could find a team that would play that much, I would pay the fee so money's not the problem. I have played on three different teams the last three years because THE TEAM would agree to play in say 6 or 8 tournaments, they would play the first one and when it came time for the second or third tournament two or three player would say I can not go, for what ever reason, so we are now down to 12 or 13 player and some of the others would say I'm not going with just 12 or 13 player. So we do not go. We would end up playing 3 or 4 tournaments a year. I'v played on teams from Ohio-Kentcky-Ind.& Mo. I will be going to the rules committee next year for both SPA and SSUSA with a rule change. This is the rule change that I'm going to propose---help me make it better. A player may play on no more than three teams each year as allowed in other section of the rules. A players base team,in each age group,will be the team he plays the first tournament with each year. A player my play in a tournament with a second or three team, in each age group,as long as his base team is not playing in that tournament. If his base team is playing in that tournament he/she must play with his/her base team. Now the way I read this is that if his/her base team goes to TOC then he/she must play with the base team. On the other hand if the base team does not go to TOC then the player may play with the second or third team he/she has played with. |
| July 12, 2012 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Prizes I can not tell you what changed because I did not play 10 years ago: New Balls cost $45/doz and the players want two NEW balls for each game. If you have 50 teams x 5 games=250 balls x 3.75=$937.50. The players want two ump's at $15/ump's x 250 x 2/ump's = $7,500.I you want a score keeper $15 x 250 games = $3,750. If you want good fields and you want them striped and raked after two games and you want staff ready to repaire the fields after a rain. $30/field/game x 250 games $7,500. If you give a bag/plaque for first place @ $50 x 15 = $750 and second place at $35 x 15 = $525. That's $20,962 + water/cups, misc./50 teams = $419/team. So you cut back on ump's and you do not use a score keeper. On all the tournaments that I had I had $500-$1000 out of my pocket |
| July 12, 2012 Wes | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Prizes I'v heard this befor and I have provided this info before. I ran a tournament for a couple years and this is one reason that I stoped. Let say you have a tournament for 50-55-60-65-70 and you have AA-AAA-M and lets say you have 15 player/team. So you are going to have 5 x 3=15 winners x 15 players = so you need 225 hats The best price I could get for a embroiderd hat at, mid price was $17 Each x 225 each =$3,825 and you have 50 teams---$3,825/25= so I must make my fee $76.50 higher so I can give out hats---???? so do you want to go home with a bag or a hat and have the tournment fee $76 higher???? Most player said they did not want to pay the extra $76 Wes |
| June 5, 2012 Wes | Topic: Bats Discussion: White Combats tattooball I was told by three sellers that Combat has not made a 30oz WHITE one---I do not want the blacl one---if you have a white-10" 34/30oz e-mail at gwesarchit@bellsouth.net |
| June 3, 2012 Wes | Topic: Bats Discussion: White Combats WoW--Just hit 200 at BP with my new White Combat---on the first hit, to the fence,(I'm 72) it sounded like a long lost "Wood Bat"--it feels good and hit well all day----now if I can just get Combat to make a 30oz, had to take a 28oz,that would be the only thing better. |
