May 1, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Southwest Championships Doorman, the safety issue came in because this happened in conjunction with NSA moving the pitcher's rubber back to 53' the same year. It does cause the fielders to stand a little further back to be where they think they should be with the bags. ASA changed the bags from 65' to 70' this year for all adult leagues. You get a lot more outs at first is all that I see. The throw from 3rd is tougher though.
April 30, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Tournament in Indy May 4 and 5 Neck10, we are just waiting on confirmation from the park director; so it should be any time soon. Remember whatever is posted here is only a draft because changes can happen, and coaches should have the most current information at any time after anything is posted. Please be gentle on Dave; they have been at the Southwest Championships for almost 2 weeks. He worked on the schedule probably when he should have been sleeping or eating. When Tim was running the qualifier, schedules did not come out until the Thursday before; so you will have it long before then.
April 29, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Tournament in Indy May 4 and 5 You know him. You can call him or wait until Tuesday.
April 29, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Tournament in Indy May 4 and 5 Did you talk with George Lane or Dwain Laird? Most of the players/teams they deal with only play SPA and should be able to play SSUSA with registration. I will see you Tuesday, or you can call me, 317-212-6310.
April 29, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 53 year old pitcher from Texas looking for team. You might want to check out this link http://seniorsoftball.com/texas. It has information about Texas leagues and your state director. You can probably find out more talking with others who play in your area. If there is anything that I can do to help, let me know.
April 29, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Joint a team - Milford, MI area Check this link http://seniorsoftball.com/great_lakes. It has information on Michigan leagues and your state director. I hope you find a lot of play time.
April 28, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA Senior World Jerry Jackson has this one.
April 28, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA Senior World Anyone have plans of coming to the ISA Senior World in Columbus, IN in late July? Lincoln Park is one of my favorite parks in the state for a tournament. Here is the link if anyone needs it http://www.isasoftball.com/world-series-info.html. Hope to see all of you at the Brickyard next weekend.
April 28, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Brickyard 2012 Corky, we were celebrating at the Fishbowl last night. Where were you?
April 18, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Jimmy Clark Memorial Tournament Johnny, hopefully Coachie and I will get a chance to come down and see you and your boys. Are you going to be able to break away to Indy this year? It is great to be the girls around this bunch.
April 18, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Brickyard 2012 Mario, I will send it to you when I get to work tomorrow. If you are coming to Indy, please make sure to introduce yourself. It was great last night to be at the first senior league night here.
April 17, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Brickyard Entry and Deadline This is just a reminder that to register for the Brickyard that you need to go through Senior Softball. We have a few that are still trying to go through Midwest. Also the deadline for entry is the 20th. So finish those taxes, and then register for Indy's finest senior tournament. I am still hoping to see the team from Syracuse; a girl can wish.
April 17, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Brickyard 2012 Lemons, the 65s will play Friday and Saturday; all others will play Saturday and Sunday. The brackets will not be drawn up until after the entry cut-off which is the 20th. Steve, I sure wish that you could be here with all of us. You know that Coachie misses you most of all. I just got an E-mail flyer about the Michigan senior olympics (7/27 - 29) to qualify for the national senior olympics in 2013 in Cleveland if anybody wants it. Same bat time, same bat station.
April 11, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Brickyard 2012 It is that time of year. Spring training is over. The Indiana seniors are back from FLA, and the first senior softball tournament on Indy is less than a month away. Does it get any better than this until the first pitch?
March 6, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What balls are going to be used by NSA this year? Corky, it is only 7 digits to call me. I know it takes more keystrokes to log on here than that. I will do you one better. Both NSA and ASA are allowing senior bats this year. I doubt if local leagues will allow them in many areas regardless of what the sanctioning bodies allow. ASA is moving their bases to 70' and of course keeping metal cleats (I have never understood this one, but that is just me). SSUSA insurance was purchased by Sports Park for the senior league there. Corky, let me know if I need to sign you up for the umpire clinics here locally next year. See you around, kid; you can always call me. For the original question, NSA rulebooks can be found here: http://www.playnsa.com/Rulebook.aspx
March 6, 2012 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: The Brickyard @ Indy Corky, you can always call me; it is a local number. SSUSA began running the tournament last year. Because Timmy (Midwest) runs all of his events so close, and SSUSA is giving us the time by the rules (as it should be), the only way to make sure that we did not run into a conflict with the park over end times was to move the older groups up a day to start on Friday.
Aug. 21, 2011 Nancy Allen	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Tie Breaker Rules Corky, you can always ask me when these things bother you. Also the 1 pitch/full count that you mentioned is only a Midwest Sports or their Indy copycats rule. I have never heard of that rule anywhere else. I will probably see you at ISP Tuesday.
July 15, 2011 Nancy Allen	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is this in the rule book?????? An umpire should NEVER say "Fair ball". They should perhaps sell the fair signal, but you only verbalize "Foul ball". This is basic umpire mechanics. If you do not hear me, it is fair.
July 12, 2011 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Dalton game times?? It is too bad that you were not in Indy in May. There were plenty of Major and Major Plus teams, and they played round robins to play everyone. It would have been a lot less money and a lot more fun for you.
July 11, 2011 Nancy Allen	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Pitching rules for Western Worlds July 12-17 Joe, you do not have interference to a runner, but it could be loosely considered obstruction, but I am not going down that road. I will also guess that the umpire never heard any of it with everything else going on during the plays. If everything was as you describe, and my judgement was the same as yours, the hook would come out immediately. Also all men's voices can sound pretty much the same when you are running the bases. I could say having a lady scorekeeper or base coach might keep you out of that, but I had a situation (oddly enough in a Utrip regional) where the ball was fair because the 1B touched it in fair territory, and then it went off of his glove to the middle of the field (it was a mis-hit, gentle roller). I pointed fair as loudly as possible (Joe, this is a joke). Only the shortstop was paying attention to me selling pointing fair, and he ran up and grabbed the ball and threw it to 1B who barely caught it because he was not paying attention. I called the out because my partner was not paying attention either. The 1B coach came unglued screaming that I had yelled, "Foul ball". I walked down there and motioned for the other coach. 1B coach is of course upset, but I explained to him that I cannot sound like a man. So he then accused my partner, and I told him that it was his 3B coach. Oh, well. Also remember that an umpire can award balls or strikes for those delaying the game depending on who it is. For me it happens more to pitchers (balls) than batters (strikes), but those are the ones that I have had which is not in your back yard. Of course it is very important to a man to have his time in the box. ;-) I like Utrip to officiate. I could never play it, and I do not think that it works well in senior softball, but they do have a senior world series which I would like to see sometime. Utrip and BASA players in this area are much more aggressive for whatever reason, and you have to take control a little harder. I think I like it most because it is so different than what I am used to. We had a young team from Chicago go 2 and BBQ in a Utrip tournament; so Tim talked him into signing up for the NSA round robin later. They said that they just could not believe how hard NSA was to play. OK, way over my word limit...
