June 15, 2010 berger	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: 60 Major Division Sorry to burst your bubble Jyoji, but the KC Kids have never been Major +. I’m the originator of the team, and if you look at SSUSA’s Ratings page, you will see that we’ve only been in existence since March of 2008……and we've been a Major team since conception. I guess I also need to apologize to you (based on your disgust), that I continue to attempt to improve the team. We were a 55+ team until this year – i.e., this is our first year playing 60+. Yes, it happens, we’re getting older also. And yes, I did pick up some players from last year’s KC Bombers team -- for this year’s KC Kids 60+ team. The Bombers began playing, last year, as a 60 Major+ team, but did so poorly that by mid-year they were allowed to drop back down to Major……and as a result of their continual down-slide throughout the remainder of the year, were no longer in existence by the end of 2009. So, I can only imagine that your contention of labeling us as a Major+ is based on a few of those players being with us……I don’t know. It does make me wonder, however, that if you, or someone on your team, recognized those few players being on our team, does that mean that you, or one of your guys, may have played on a Major+ team against them last year…????

March 15, 2010 berger	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: friday play This is not only a SSUSA issue. It's across the board for 60's. Our team just went 60 this year also. Never had such extensive Friday play until this year. We've got our schedule figured. 12 total tournaments: 5 with SSUSA (3 of them 3-day tournaments). 5 with SPA (3 of them 3-day tournaments). 1 ISA -- a 3-day tourney. 1 LVSSA -- a 3-day tourney. Not all of these 3-day tournaments are Fri-Sun. 1 is Thurs-Sat, and 1 is Sat-Mon. So, 9 out of our 12 this year are 3-day tournaments. Last year, when we played 55, we also played 12 tournaments.....with most of them being the same tournaments as the ones we're entering this year. 3 of them, last year, were Fri-Sun tournaments. #6, I also definitely agree with you. 70% of our players still work.....which means players have to take vacation to go to these 3-day tourneys. And "oldbie", I also agree with you, I think more players' wives would be able to accompany the players if more of the tournaments were Sat-Sun only. Not to mention, more players themselves would be able to go. I am carrying more players on my roster this year -- mainly because I already know a number of them can not play all of those 3-day tournaments. And what do you think it does for me, as manager, having to try to be at all of them.

Jan. 1, 2010 berger	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: midwest nationals smooth01, couldn't agree with you more....especially when the only other SSUSA tournament going on that weekend is the Western Nationals -- that appears to have been moved to Lacy, WA this year (from Salt Lake City last year). Having the Western Nationals in the very Northwest corner of the US doesn't make a lot of sense either, but KC is more "midwest" than Champaign (for any sort of Midwest Regional, or Championship, tournament). There is a SPA tournament in Columbus, OH July 15-18.

March 13, 2009 berger	Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: 66 years old looking to play in tournaments Larry, I'm not 65 yet, but I've alerted Randy Rowe (who is the Senior Softball Director for the Kansas City area) of your inquiry. Hopefully he can contact the appropriate local tournament team managers to make them aware of your interest.
