May 21, 2013 taits	Topic: Bats Discussion: Legal ASA bats for Over 70 Look up ASA and find the Commissioner for you area and deal with him directly.
May 17, 2013 taits	Topic: Bats Discussion: Senior bat 1 year warranty Like many on Ezbay lol, what they claim isn't always the truth. Best to find out from Miken via email so you have a paper trail. Wonder just how long that place (VMinnovations) will be in business after they sell their stock. I think they innovated the sales.
May 17, 2013 taits	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Schedules for Reno While I did not & usually do not watch for Carson teams I have read that teams by age brackets I believe, are 'supposed' to be rotated to play there. That was posted by them a few years ago.
May 17, 2013 taits	Topic: Bats Discussion: Senior bat 1 year warranty Where they (Miken) could still stick you is if the Ebay seller is not an authorized dealer, they could still disallow a claim.
May 15, 2013 taits	Topic: Bats Discussion: ASA bat Miken makes a good one that's white but I do not know the model. I broke* my Freak DST ( good too, and also white) , so there are two good ones to think about. *I've got 9 cracks in it. Never seen cracks that curve downward like all these do. They are cheap now too about half what I paid 2+ years ago when they came out.
May 11, 2013 taits	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Reno Tournament Dave, He's a good player. Probably still in CA. Used to play with him on Silver Streaks team years ago.
May 9, 2013 taits	Topic: Bats Discussion: SSUSA approved bats vs. USSSA and ASA Not all bats were tested with the 52 cor ball, many were with the 44\375, and visa versa. But as for the concept on what that person said according to what is wrote here:"All bats except Ultra I, II Launch, any bats marked SENIOR SOFTBALL." I doubt there are many if any that are both ASA and SSUSA stamped. Especially with the BPF performance at 98 or less for the ASA's and 1.20 or 1.21 for the others. USSA is I believe, up to 1.20, but not all of them either. Maybe you can find which bats were approved under with which balls at some site like B&N baseball, I think was the name of the very notable testing site.
May 5, 2013 taits	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club Sparky, I suggest you forward them to SSUSA and request they close the thread. That was not a cool thing.
May 5, 2013 taits	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club Sure you were there... it's a copy & paste out of the dictionary. Tell them. But it applies, none the less.
May 5, 2013 taits	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club Mich vet, WRONG Forum: 1. the marketplace or public square of an ancient Roman city, the center of judicial and business affairs and a place of assembly for the people. 2. a court or tribunal: the forum of public opinion. 3.an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest. This is what we have here and it works.
May 4, 2013 taits	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club Why should I delve into what he said, he explained it, maybe a little late, but did it.
May 4, 2013 taits	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club A fair explanation.
May 4, 2013 taits	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Scores They still do just not as fast as they tried some years ago for a few events but it was short lived. Figure about 1.5 to 2 weeks out after all scores are 'walked' to Sac for receipt...lol. 2 weeks anyway. All scores can be viewed in all be a few old events. As you mention some only list top 3 or so teams. Computer age at work.
May 2, 2013 taits	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Sponsor looking to finance an "established" Men's club I agree with BW. Read post regarding the issues or looking for teams, etc, it is pretty much all you read I this I that. Old school ball isn't dead, but rather just quite. The silent 'almost majority" lol. As for the turn down, for only IF, I agree on that.
April 30, 2013 taits	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Preferred tournament wants, Short replies, please. Been over 200 views to this but only 8 who took the time to post. WHY? Are they not so concerned about having a say on what they play with or issues we all talk about? There are roughly 130 who post fairly regularly, where are you? If by chance you can't post here but still do play senior events email be your replies I will post them un altered ( within reason) like these all are. My addy is there.
April 30, 2013 taits	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Preferred tournament wants, Short replies, please. Omar, What I did not take into consideration on fees and associated cost here the possible need for additional park\fields and the ensuing extra cost for that and more that comes with it. INS is another you players do not think about as well. These are the types of replies needed guys. Keep it up. And I thank you for them. Only venue I'm aware of that have 70' base lines are in Vegas. Probably 53' mound distance, but am not sure. I see the up side as well as the down side to the differences.

April 29, 2013 taits	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team On this, one may want to read the rule for 'Regulation game" Rule 5.4 "D" Also the paragraph doesn't mention forfeits, but does mention causes that place or patrons or players in "peril". I would thing physical contact meets that standard. Inning it was called may be the out used. lmao.
April 29, 2013 taits	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team Nice to know more info as to the why... but in any case, fact is, it was a win, and score goes down as 7-0.
April 28, 2013 taits	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team rightj1, IMO, yes and no depending on what you call equal. As I see it you a person, not a team 1. lets say you played AAA in 2010 2. you moved to major in 2011....Then in 2012 your moved to major+ But for 2013 you went back to Major. Not sure you'd move up\down that fast but, it could happen. Hell some win but never move. I believe the you (singular) will be considered into the overall team make up as having played in AAA,M & M+ levels over the last few years. But most likely would be M+ for the rate (highest rating played) & adding to the "score" players get or have for the combined team make up. I know when I requested a look at a teams make up that they went back to 2009 which surprised me because I thought it was only two years. A lot can happen in one year to a person let alone 4 years. One player at major some years back. And at same time the team I was concerned about had I think 9 players either already rated at AAA or defaulted to AAA because of no history with this assn or another know national one. I forget the count for higher rated players than where the team wants to play , say AA, but 3-5 players at a higher one seems right. Any more then it would be expected, I would think that they would be playing AAA until they all had history. If my memory is correct a team has been moved up with one player a level up on the team. IF I'm incorrect I'm sure I'll be corrected here.
