Aug. 24, 2006 Mango	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - Teams Entered List LecaK, Thanks, I just looked at the home page and dates for the tournaments listed. You're right the 40,s are the weekend of the 15th - 17th in Seattle. I was confused because my 50's(Roaddogs) team is playing in Seattle the same weekend that Courtesy goes to Alabama. I just assumed all divisions were playing the same weekend. However, I checked with Bully and we still aren't going to the 40's in Seattle. So again Dave maybe you want to correct that on your website. Thanks, Mango
Aug. 23, 2006 Mango	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - Teams Entered List Lecak, I just checked my ticket. Courtesy Auto is going to the ASA 45's the weekend of Sept 8-10 in Alabama. Well at least they've got me on a plane going there that weekend. Aren't those the dates for Seattle? Dave- any info on the accuaracy of that "Participating Teams List"? Thanks, Mango
Aug. 23, 2006 Mango	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - Teams Entered List Hi Dave, I appreciate what you are trying to do regarding participating teams at tournaments. I'm somewhat new to Senior Softball and one of my gripes is the paucity of teams at tournaments. However are you sure of the accuracy of the teams listed, or am I maybe reading it wrong? I see Courtesy Auto listed as an entrant in the 40's and I know we will be in Alabama that weekend playing in the ASA World Series. Did I read the link wrong or is my team trying to get rid of me?

Aug. 22, 2006 Mango	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Patooning Hey Einstein, Comment on platooning- it changes the nature of the game, as mentioned before in many reader responses. Eliminates strategy during games and changes how you build teams etc. Thats part of the game that I hold dear to me - the strategy involved in baseball/softball. I believe many others feel the same way- they like it the way it is. Part of the beauty of the game is the second guessing(should I have gone with a 5 man? Witha 4 run lead do I use my bench and put in a defensive replacement? etc. )Also heres a question- how do you think platooning would effect the number of teams participating in Senior Softball? There are already so few teams at each division. Wouldn't platooning reduce the number as teams would have bigger squads? Mango
