ShaneV		Topic: General and miscellaneous
Discussion: Preferred tournament wants, Short replies, please.

1. Happy to pay around $300 for a local qualifier. As
a tournament director I know what the costs are and how
much effort. For Reno, NW, Western and Worlds $500-$695
may seem high but the multi-venue, multi-director,
multi-UIC and travel expenses warrant these fees. SSUSA
calculates what they can spend and what they can charge
as carefully as I do and they know how sensitive teams
and players are about cost.
2. I prefer 5GG. Success through 5-6 games can be a
challenge, in the "other" half of the bracket it really
gets tough, but hey, your cost per game can really drop!
I consider pool play a valuable warm-up and a chance to
scout teams and assess your own players. Seeding seldom
really matters.
3. I like 3-day events with 5GG in a fun location like
Reno or Vegas. I've run 5GG one-day, it's like a
Sunday losers bracket scramble, tests your endurance.
4. Rec Event - Round Robin. Championship Event -
3 Pool and Double or 2 Pool and 3GG Bracket.
5. Senior Bats.
6. 44-375
7. 70
8. Always mix to create the opportunity to play 5 teams.
9. Give a certificate or plaque for those with sponsors,
individual shirts/jackets/bags and mvp to 1st players,
plaque and 3 allstar shirts 2nd & 3rd.

The one thing I cannot control, weather...

I promise we'll have more (weather) at the May 18-19 Yauger Reunion, June 8-9
Player Memorial, July 6-7 Yauger Invite, August 22-25 Classic Rock at the RAC
Qualifier and September 14-15 Road to Las Vegas! Join us! It should be a
little warmer.

Discussion: Time to change the format of the board

I use Norton Vault, (free with Comcast internet) does
the same thing. I have maybe 120 logins to manage, I
login to the vault once and it manages all of my user
id's and passowrds for me. Only works on my home PC, so when I'm at work or on the road, I have to remember
the important ones. Not easy at our age...

Followup:

Any 60AA established team that adds 7 unknown players,
(no history with SSUSA registered teams) will likely be
re-rated AAA. As always we have to consider this is
done to protect the 60AA division teams, not to punish
this team.

Division #3 for the April Opener included all of the
teams with the number rating 3, 4 or 5. Division #2
ratings 6 or 7. Division #1 ratings 8, 9 or 10. When
I have broken it down further, teams play the same
teams at every local event they attend, and some of
them play each other in league as well. In order to
provide more variety, I've learned larger divisions are
best. I don't like working out all the equalizers, and
they never adequately balance the competition, but what
else can a tournament director do?

Now imagine taking the same 25 NW teams and running a
qualifier, where I must avoid any more than "one-off"
combinations! Did it last August and almost ran myself
into the ground, Directing, Playing AND Umpiring! Keeps
me young...

Doesn't seem right. I'll send the game cards from this weekend to Sacramento
in case it might help. Not being a qualifier they do not include these in the
overall stats.

Have not heard directly from Greg Pellegrini, just posts on facebook. He knows

Should also mention the 2012 65M World Champions First American Title. I'm
probably missing another one in 2012 and a few in 2011.

This is the usual turnout for our local events here in WA. I know nearly
every manager personally and many of their players. I've played with or
against all of them for 8 years now. And it's a rec event, 2 days on a 4
field complex. What don't you understand? Probably 3 divisions, lots of
equalizers. I rate the teams top (40M=9) to bottom (65AA=3) arrange them in
order, group them in divisions, setup a round-robin schedule and let 'em go
at it, no useless trophys, just a damn good time at a great complex. We're
really just preparing each of the teams to travel and bring home titles.

Like the 2012 50M+ World Champions NW Legends
Like the 2012 60M World Champions W.E. Ruth Realty
Like the 2012 60AAA World Champions EnviroVac Marauders
Like the 2012 55AAA Western National Champions Jones Chemical Inc./The Y

Seems to be working...
