Discussion: Quad City Tournament

Just curious why there are no times for the Quad City tournament posted yet? It is only 3 days away? It does effect travel times for the teams involved. Do I leave Friday morning or Thursday night. Pay for one night in a hotel or two? This is where tournament directors have to take into consideration the players involved. With todays economy ( Thanks Biden) no one can afford to throw away extra money. If the times were posted early enough, the hotel question wouldn't be an issue.

Discussion: Rule Clarification for Vegas??

It is my understanding that if you didn't qualify with a team for (played in a qualifier) you couldn't be a pick-up for Vegas? Is this correct? Yet I see many teams looking to add players and players looking for teams? Clarification please???

Just a heads up...You can not pick up players that didn't play in the qualifying tournaments for the Eastern Nationals, with your team..

You can not be a pick up for Eastern Nationals. You have to have played in a "qualifier" and be rostered to a team that played in said qualifier.

STL0,
Just a poor choice of words by the SSUSA staff. They must think we didn't want to play or something? It's probably going to be the last time we would have played in that organization anyways. They need to get some things figured out. We played in Westminster and Glenn Burnie. Both were 2 pool games a single elimination??? Glenn Burnie we had to ump one of our games ourselves??? LOL

I must say I'm kinda irked by the comment from SSUSA staff. They made a comment about "Bailout Disease" Sweet Construction bailed because of the rules. Having players injured and not being able to fill their spots is the reason we "Bailed" Not because of your "Bail out" disease comment. SSUSA set the rules about picking up players and Sweet Construction followed those rules. It was either that or play with 9 or 10 guys. You can NOT play in tournaments of this caliber with only 9 or 10 guys. Anyone who thinks different is an idiot. It takes 13 or 14 players to win at the 55 Major level. Trust me...Everyone one of our team members wanted to play. Rooms were already booked but we just couldn't field a complete and competitive team.

The 55M bracket needs to be updated for the other teams involved. Sweet Construction is withdrawing from the Eastern Nationals due to multiple injuries on the team. With sealed rosters we can not field a team. Just a heads up to the teams we were scheduled to play.

It is my understanding that you can not be added to a roster if you were not previously on that team for those particular tournaments.

Tim,
For some reason I can't see the brackets on the tournament page. Since we are the only 55 Major team, will we be playing 60's or 50's teams?
Thank you

I'm not putting any blame on you or your organization. Umpimg our own game actually went pretty well.

The only thing that was disappointing, was playing Sunday with no umpire. There's a first for everything I guess. We had to umpire our own game.....

That 50 AAA team had 6 listed Major players on the roster.

Discussion: Team ratings

Please help me understand the way the ratings are figured out? Why is it possible to play a team at the Major level in one tournament, and lose to them twice, yet at the next tournament they are listed as a AAA team? That means we now have to give runs to a team that beat us twice, a month earlier. There's only 2 teams in Major for Roanoke so we have to play the AAA teams.

Your sorta wrong about the stamp. It means the bat is a replacement of a broken bat. But I don't believe the Ultras have any warranty. As far as your theory on shaving bats, you're completely wrong. A shaved bat of any type out performs any bat. Its a durability issue. That's why I thought it was kind of funny a bat that looked brand freakin new was cracked! That's why I broke it open. Our district ASA commisioner inspected the bat and agreed it was shaved. Again, enough said from people that have no clue about this issue.

By the way, if the owner wants the bat back they can contact me.

As far as stealing the bat, it was left next to the trash can. It was cracked 1/2 around and the paint was new. Also the cap had a warranty stamp which lead me to believe something was "funny" about the bat. I was under the impression that Ultras don't come with warranties??? Also, I have thorough knowledge of how these bats are made. There is NO tooling marks or a ridge at the taper when they are origonally made. I have an extensive background in machining and extrusion. Some of you may not understand that, and I'm not knocking you for that. The wall thickness on those bats has a tight tolerance and this bat didn't meet that tolerance. Hmmmmm is right. I'm sorry I brought this up. Cheaters will cheat and the rest of us will play by the rules. I don't need to prove anything to anyone on here. Everyone is an expert in their own field of business. I'm sorry that mine is in the machining and extruding business. Enough said!
