Oct. 22, 2010 bprieve	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Can we make this a PHX Worlds Score thread?? Post results here Thanks, DuWayne. Yes, we had a very fine tournament, with all 14 players contributing - we batted everyone in every game. The competition was very tough, and we won two of our bracket games by only 1 run and the final game by 3. I think our best game was against a very fine Chicago Blue Chip team that on another day might have demolished us. But the ball bounced our way and our hitting was on throughout up and down the lineup. Bart Prieve
Jan. 13, 2010 bprieve	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: What's up with the South West Championships? Just noticed that the SW Championships, listed before for Tucson in April (date TBD) have been dropped from the SSUSA tournament schedule. Anyone know what this is about?
Aug. 22, 2009 bprieve	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Prescription Eye Glasses Versus No Glasses I use bi-focal contact lenses with monovision, too for everyday. I HATE them for softball, so my eye doctor also set me up with a distance only, 20-20 corrected set. Works fine. Players I've observed using multi-focal glasses or contacts of any type tend to miss even easy catches as they can't see the ball coming accurately as it moves across their different corrections on multi-focals of any type.
June 5, 2009 bprieve	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: PPR-Reno So far this year, we have had two "opportunities" for applying the hit pitcher rule. First, a line drive was caught (in his glove) then dropped by the pitcher, after which he picked up the ball and started a double play. The ump called a dead ball out. Seems like the result of the play, when advantageous to the defense should alway prevail; the dead ball call should be delayed. Second, a ball hit through the pitcher's box (with pitcher inside) was deflected off his glove. Ump said this was not a hit pitcher rule call, since the ball hit the glove. I didn't know that a pitcher making a protective move and touching the ball with his glove automatically made the rule inapplicable.

June 2, 2009 bprieve	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rock 'N' Reno - Action Shots - Team Pictures etc Well, we also love your pictures, but it is a shame that you have to forgo playing with your team (that would be us) to do all the shooting! Bart Prieve, Manager Scrap Iron Diamonds
May 14, 2009 bprieve	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: hotel room rates I agree with you, WOW. If I had known that the Housing Connection is locking out competitive bids from the tournament hotels (they haven't even been listed on the SSUSA site for Salt Lake yet, so I could not have known which hotels to be "careful" with), I would not have identified us as a team. Live and learn (to avoid Housing Connection!)
May 12, 2009 bprieve	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: hotel room rates I join WOW and others about being very concerned about being ripped off by SSUSA and The Housing Connection on hotel prices. And The Housing Connection will not make good on their "low price" guarantee, at least for Reno. I have also learned that SSUSA/Housing Connection is forcing hotels to sign "exclusive" contracts that preclude our teams from booking directly with a hotel and prevent us from to saving the approximate $30/room/night that is added to the Housing Connection/SSUSA price over direct booking. I think that is unconscionable. Do other senior softball associations play the same types of shinnanigans?
Nov. 10, 2008 bprieve	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Lodging for T of C - Florida in January I've been searching for affordable lodging for the Tournament of Champions in Lakeland. I would be happy to share what I've learned so far about Kissimmee hotels. Also, I'd be interested to learn any good find you might have.

Oct. 24, 2008 bprieve	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: AA 60 Colorado - Scrap Iron Looks like we will be recruiting a player or two to join us in 2009. Colorado based, on the rise (we won Western Regionals in Salt Lake this year), excellent team spirit and support of each other. 60s AA.

April 1, 2008 bprieve	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Medical Emergency When Out Of Town The player was Ed Rothe, our shortstop. He collapsed in the second inning of our first game. He woke up a short time later, said he didn't know what had happened, insisted on getting up and walking off the field. A short time later, he passed out again and stopped breathing. A 911 call was made immediately, using a cell phone. After a long time trying to have the operator dispatch help, someone ran over to the police station across the way, and finally, help arrived. We were told that it was not a heart attack, but rather a pulmonary embolism. An obituary can be read at http://obit.howemortuary.com/obitdisplay.html?id=520692&clientid=howemortuary&listing=Found
