| June 11, 2013 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Smokey Mtn Tournament That is why we have three organizations each one has it's positives and each one has it negatives. You get to pick and choose which ones you want. Makes it better for the players and teams when they have choices and can decide which best fits their needs. Ho |
| June 11, 2013 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Smokey Mtn Tournament Birdie, I would expect a lot of teams would like ISSA ratings. Did you notice that of the TEN AAA teams in the 60's tournament you were talking about FIVE are rated MAJOR by the other organizations and of the FIVE AA's, THREE are rated AAA by the other organizations. That is a no-brainer as to what tournament I would play in if I was one of the MAJOR teams which are rated AAA or one of the AAA teams which are rated AA. Teams go where they get the best chance to win. Ho |
| June 10, 2013 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Smokey Mtn Tournament The ISSA ratings shouldn't surprise you, they are that away across the boards in all ages and divisions. They are lowered to make teams think they are getting a break to play down in a lower division. They don't realize most of the other teams in their new divsion were also rated down to try and intice them to come to the ISSA tournaments. There are a few occasions where SSUSA and SPA do not agree on a team's ratings (usually because of different showings in a SSUSA tournament compared to a SPA tournament or vice versa), but for the most part they do agree. The reason they match is, regardless of what you think of the rating system, both SSUSA and SPA DO TAKE INTO consideration lots of different factors, input and results to make a decision. It is not just a "if I rate them lower maybe they will come to my tournament" reason for a rating. If you want to go to those tournaments, you will pay the price. Me I'll stick with SSUSA and SPA, where I know some thought actually went into the rating. Ho |

| May 9, 2013 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Kuuup22 Usually the SSUSA BRICKYARD is a well run tournament and I don't remember ever hearing many complaints about the tournament. Anytime you have double elimination tournaments the pre-scheduling plans usually go out the window. I would give them another chance based on their previous tournaments. However, that said, to avoid future problems like this you may want to check into ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENTS where the schedule is locked in, possibley the 85-team AA and AAA Buckeye Classic Tournament. Me, I would give the BRICKYARD another chance next year. Ho |
| May 9, 2013 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SPA...Pull the plug on Springfield No justification for what you guys are going through, I would probably react the same way. But just to set the record straight...this is only the second year SPA has run the Springfield tournament. Don't know who had it the years prior to it. Ho |
| April 26, 2013 Ho | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking for a team in SE Michigan Bill: There are a lot of travel teams and leagues in Michigan but to narrow your search you will have to list your age and what city (near-by) where you live. After that you should get some good responses. Another option is to go to the horizontal menu on this page and click on leagues. Then go to the Michigan area on the map, click it and you will find a few Michigan league contacts. Hope this helps you. Ho |

| Sept. 21, 2012 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA World/Northeast Championship Results I know that is the order of finish of the top three teams (26 of them) but he is also looking for the finish of the other three teams that were in the Syracuse tournament. Ho |
| Sept. 21, 2012 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA World/Northeast Championship Results Try this web page for the ISA order of finish (no scores)..they list the order of finish in each group (no record or scores)..the point total on the right shows you who finished in what order. http://isasoftball.com/national-pasttourneys.html?mon=07 As for the SSUSA Northeast Championship at Syracuse..they only had 29 teams and they list the finish of 26 teams..with the process of elimination you can probably determone where the other three finished. Again no scores for either but you can't have everything. Ho |
| Sept. 21, 2012 Ho | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: ISA World/Northeast Championship Results They have been posted (the final standings, no scores)on the tournament web page, down at the bottom of the pages. Ho |
| Sept. 8, 2012 Ho | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: "PRO" Softball late 1970's & early 1980's The AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL SLOW PITCH LEAGUE (APSPL) began with 12 teams in 1977 and played through 1980. In 1981-1982 the UNITED PROFESSIONAL SOFTBALL LEAGUE (UPSL) was in existance. Looks like a beer and pizza league with team names being DETROIT (LITTLE) CEASARS; MILWUAKKE SCHLITZ, CINCINNATTI SUDS; KY BOURBONS, etc. You can go to the web page: http://www.angelfire.com/sd/slopitch/pro.html for more info on the teams and some players.

| Sept. 2, 2012 Ho | Topic: Bats Discussion: What makes it a "Senior" bat??? Shelbyville (36 teams) and THEE Buckeye Classic (77) were full..DAYTON (32), SYLVANIA(36)and COLUMBUS (40) could have taken a few more. As I mentioned, all five were AA and AAA events. Ho |
| Sept. 2, 2012 Ho | Topic: Bats Discussion: What makes it a "Senior" bat??? Gary: I can give you five tournaments who turned down teams, they were DAYTON FIRST FLIGHT; THEE BUCKEYE CLASSIC; HEART OF OHIO; SYLVANIA and HOOSIER CLASSIC. Teams were turned down for various resaons but mainly ratings. Ho |
