Now it all makes sence.
Larry Jenson = Kill A Brew, Sir drink a lot, etc.
hahahaha
You know i am easy and this proves it.
The Dawg Breath reeked of you as well, i felt there was maybe a connection but could not quite figure it out.
Remember your fight is not with me any more it is with the organazations that make you play at a level where you don't feel you should be.
I know, vote me as the head of the ranking committee and i will take real good care of you.
hahaha
Don't do it , just joking.
Good luck for the rest of 2005 Larry and the Animals, Drink a bunch of brew, Dawg Breath etc,.

I have seen a lot of crazy things in softball but none as crazy as calling a 50 + year old man out for hitting a ball over a 300ft fence.

The extra irony here is that some organzations do this while still allowing a bat like the Ultra 2???

Watching the other team as they seem to enjoy the fact that he got called out????

Just seems crazy to me but maybe it is just me.

Home runs to singles at all levels and if your too good , move up to the next level.

IMO

Thanks

Most of the responders here are not quite understanding the situation.
I think i do. Let me know if i do understand it correctly.
The opposing team hitting in the top of the 5th inning and the score is in there favor to the point that even if you bat in the bottom of the 5th inning, keeping in mind that the most runs they will let you score in the bottom of the 5th would be 5, and that 5 runs would still leave you in the mercy rule position that techincally the game is over anyway and why even let you bat.
That is the dumbest combination of rules i have ever heard of in slow pitch softball.
That is just a way to get the game over even faster then normal.
5 run innings is not real softball to me to begin with let alone turn the game into something like this.
This is what happens when people who know very little about real softball start changing rules that have worked for a long long time.
Sorry to hear you guys got a raw deal like that.

exactly, i agree 100%.
Rate the player first and then use the players on a team to rate the team itself.
Win a ring in any division below Major Plus and play up at least 1 whole year at the next highest level.
That would require some work from these TD'S, but hey when you bring in 300 teams to 1 event alone not to mention all the Qualifiers and all these other so called winter and spring nationals and blah, blah, blah nationals.
You would think they could spend some time and effort to get this done.
I will start by volunteering to be a major plus player for the rest of my life so put me in the book until you hear something different from me.

It will be the old classic of saying one thing but doing another.
Now it sounds like little league baseball with 1 team drafting off of another team???
I will have exactly the team and tournaments ready when i pop back out in 2006 so please no one bother me anymore until then.
Kelly's Sports i done until 2006 and i am not responisble for any one that played for me from this point on, that will be left up to the TD'S at whatever events they happen to show up at of there own choice.
I am out and want to relax now.

Thanks for the well thought out response. You do know what your talking about.

After my last worlds in Des Monies 3 weeks ago i released some players in question from next years team as i am rebuilding it some.

I suspect those are the players or ex players that we are talking about and i would not expect them to ask for my blessings from that point on.

It was not a questions of who's players they are, it was a question of the caliber of player and if the team should have been made to play 1 division higher with them and i believe the answer to that question is without a doubt YES
IMO
Thanks

Duke/KillAbrew
Maybe if TH was paying attention to his prioritys first like running the tournament and keeping an eye on things and being available to serve as the TD this might have been handled better.
Your quote Killabrew was "TH was playing at the other complex when he became aware of this"

I say he knew well in advance but that is just my opinion.

i agree with all you said.
The bat makes no difference to me when i pick the worlds every year.
I go tp the worlds that willl play it fair and have the same rules for all.
Next year
NSA
USSSA
ASA
for sure.
They will all go away from the advice of hennesey, ridge and rb thomas and start running there own senior softball programs in 2006 the way softball is supposed to be played.
No 5 run innings for sure.

Sticks

Sure, lets start with you.
I read your other posts and see that you have taken shots at me before saying that i cant spell, etc.
You are from nor cal and seem to have a problem with me for a reason right now that only you know.

I am going to have to guess here a bit.
Maybe i did not pick you up for my team??
Maybe i cut you off my team??
Maybe i beat you in softball your whole life??
I will understand better why you want a piece of me if you simply nut up right now and tell me your name and what team you play for so i can better understand you.
Hope i did not mispell any words cuz i so ignant.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I doubt whoever really wrote that will be man enough to admit it now anyway.

Probably a SSUSA staff guy with access or something??

Who knows and who cares about a coward like that.

Thanks again akel10

TerryH:
A Team class AAA asked me to ask you if they can add 3 Major Plus players to there AAA team roster even though it is already frozen for the Az. worlds. Seems there team is short handed and they are willing to move up to Major after they win the rings at AAA no problem.
Sounds like your Ca. cup mentality is spreading out there a bit.
Thanks in advance for your very legal always correct and always professional answer.

I might be wrong here but i thought that hennesey said that players were locked on a roster after reno.
Should my players have been locked to my team seeing how we played 2 worlds together or just because i decide not to go to henneseys tournament they should be allowed to be free agents again same year???
That would mean that any other team could pick up my players for any other worlds that i dont choose to ge to??
I dont mind and neither would my players but is that really how it is supposed to work.
At least if it was not so obvious that a AAA team is loading up this might not have surfaced. If they played on a major plus team it would not have been so bad??
Thanks

I have another question based on your answer.
Will you let AAA teams pick up a minimum of 3 Major Plus players and compete at the AAA level at your worlds in Az. with the promise of having to be moved up 1 level for when?? next year.
The best move for you would have been to move the team up to at least your major bracket and play regular ball from there.
You would not let Bruce Walker play on a AAA team and he was only 1 Player?? You would have moved that team up right away to the next hgihest level not after the fact if Bruce Walker played on it.
Last year at the worlds in vegas, SSUSA took a team from my bracket = major plus because they could not compete in seeding games and moved them down 1 division, in the middle of a world tournament, you could not have moved this team up 1 division before it started?????
Thanks in advane
