| Nov. 26, 2007 VegasPaul | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Bat Warmers I purchased a Worth M-7 last year. The following was on a sticker attached to the bat: "...High performance bats are suseptable to ball denting, especially in cold weather (below 60 F), we urge you to use balls which have been stored above 70 F for at least 8 hours prior to use, and to keep the balls warm between games..."

| Nov. 16, 2007 VegasPaul | Topic: Bats Discussion: the freak is back I am not aware the Freak is back. The following is posted on the ASA web site today. However, that was written in 2006. "Grandfathered" Bats no longer authorized beginning in 2008 11/6/2006 OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, — The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA), the National Governing Body of Softball in the United States, today announced that under a resolution adopted by the ASA Board of Directors, bats submitted by manufacturers that were previously allowed a 2 mph variance in the ASA’s test standards are no longer authorized for use in ASA Championship Play effective January 1, 2008. Commonly referred to by players and coaches as “grandfathered” bats, these bats were allowed a 2 mph testing variance under the terms of an agreement the bat manufacturers and ASA negotiated in the fall of 2003. These terms will no longer be in effect on January 1, 2008 thus making these bats illegal for use in ASA Championship Play. According to the list provided to ASA under the terms of the agreement with each manufacturer, the following bats will be placed on the non approved list on January 1, 2008 Easton Synergy2 Miken Freak Louisville Slugger SB304 SB404 Worth XGOLD-Fastpitch XRED-Fastpitch XPST4 WWSCA SBWKA Vegas Paul |
| Nov. 11, 2007 VegasPaul | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: HOLLYWOOD PARK IN LAS VEGAS The directions by Stoneman are good. The Fields and Community center are on the EAST side of the street. Nevada Gold played there during the LVSSA Tournament. Some problems that I am sure SSUSA have addressed: No concession stand, Rest rooms are a long walk at the Community Center, (Porti potties are a must). We played with 60 ft bases since they could not find any base posts at 65 feet. It gets dark real quick once the sun goes behind the mountains. Be sure the lights are properly timed. Vegas Paul, Nev.

| Oct. 22, 2007 VegasPaul | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: You make the call - umpire gets over-ruled by TD in Phoenix Seems to me that the visiting team was protesting a rule interpretation by the umpire before the next pitch as per rule 6.53. Thus the protest committee should have been formed comprising 3 people per rule 5.2. One of the members of the protest committee should have been the UIC. Umpires need to know the rules but also the teams need to know them. I would like to hear from the UIC on how he would rule. I believe the umpire made a mistake and there should have been a correctable action. Vegas Paul, Nevada Gold |

| Aug. 3, 2007 VegasPaul | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Courtesy Runner If a courtesy runner is in the game and on base for the second time in an inning can he be called out after a pitch is thrown? Some say yes and some say no. Is it an appeal play or protest of the rules? Also if the courtesy runner, running for a second time scores, can he be called out after scoring the run? SSUSA rules say if a "courtesy runner is found running more than once per inning he will be called out". It doesn't address appeal before the next pitch or scoring a run. |
| June 5, 2007 VegasPaul | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: HELP ON THE RULES (SSWC OR ANYONE ELSE) Any interferance results in a dead ball and an at least one out. If the second runner scored his run would count unless appealed because he missed a base. Intentionally kicking a ball should result in interferance and someone being out and most likely the one closest to home. Other runners should be returned to base last touched at the time of interferance. |
