| April 22, 2013 Mark 44 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team I just can't for the life of me understand how they can be reclassified without playing . They finished 3rd in the worlds, at the major+ level. Plus, they won the TOC's in Florida! |
| April 21, 2013 Mark 44 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: How can SSUSA possibly reclassify an established Major+ team I am totally perplexed. A well known Major+ team gets reclassified before a major tournament? Why would they piss off 8 teams, to appease 1? Could it be that they have less than 4 returning players? I really doubt it. Maybe 7 or 8 guys all of a sudden have doctors excuses.. I tried to start a new AAA team with 4 major players and the balance of AAA players & was denied. As a major team we finished in last place, 3 out of 4 tournaments. Were we the strongest players on the team? No. Yet 5 of our ball players went to a AAA team & they stayed AAA, because those guys got medical exemptions. That AAA team turns around & wins a few different SSUSA AAA tournaments. How could this be? I have played by the book, for my SSUSA career. I've been beaten by the Snow Bird rule, by a guy who works for Valdosta, Georgia recreation department. Does anyone really think he could reside in the beautiful resort state of Oregon, for 3 months out of the year? I don't think so. I have managed Major & Major+ teams. Sour Grapes? No way. I've won more than my fair share of National tournaments.I just want what is fair. I may never even have to play this new Major team, this coming weekend. But every team that loses to them, will be thinking twice about playing in any future tournaments. I didn't name names, but people will figure it out. Please explain to me how this keeps happening! Do people really have bend the rules, just to win? I guess so. Mark McDaniel. 55 Major |
| April 27, 2010 Mark 44 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament in Concord I, as a manager will never bring another team to Concord. I have managed teams for many years & we quit playing in Concord because of the same problem, TERRIBLE BALLS. They have used better balls in the last few years, to attract teams back to Concord & then BAM, Here we go again. A previous post asked why we didn't just walk away & refuse to play. We all look forward to playing tournaments & most of us live quite a distance from the park. To suggest that we show up & not play is silly. The only greater disapointment in my aged years, is when a tournament gets rained out. We came, We played & We shall never return to Concord/Antioch.
