| Oct. 8 STONEMAN Men's 50 535 posts | THIS WILL BE LONG. Last wk, the 60 MAJOR winner in LVSSA, used 4-6 MAJOR PLUS players. These players r so well knowned & several wear the same number on both teams. It's hard to believe. These MAJOR PLUS players, won 4 WORLDS this yr. A player is locked on a team. Players can not play one wk 4 one team & the next wk 4 a different team, NOT in the SSWC WORLDS!! RB, have fun w/ this one. J. Riley, winner of SPA, last yr in MAJOR'S; Handeland Flooring 55 (Riley's), a MAJOR PLUS team, did u take 2nd in SEATTLE? This wkend, Michael's, r u not the same team or teams? WHY? U r a group of men that had @ least 3 players from SEATTLE play' on a AAA team. Yer left hand pitcher, # 50; yer white haired power hitter, # 12, & that short O.F. How many MAJOR PLUS, PLAYERS DID U USE in Vegas? A Wis. team stated that u were a M+ team!! A Tx team, stated that u had several players that were in Seattle!! A team out of Az, stated the same thing!! 2 players from Vegas, different age group, stated the same thing!! Michael's, was using several MAJOR PLUS, players. M+, players can only play on a MAJOR PLUS team & not a (AAA) TEAM. I wonder what RB, Ridge, & Bill, will do about this & several other matters. THIS IS ONLY PART OF THE CRAP, that has been going on this past 2 wkends in the LVSSA WORLD. The STONEMAN......................OUT |
| Oct. 8 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | Stoneman: I started JAH Masters in 03 & played Major & Major + thru 04; I had to turn in a National Frozen Roster to the associations that I planned to play in by June 15th. I went to the tourneys many times short of players just to find that other teams had combined to some degree. I agree somewhere there has got to be a system that will identify players; maybe a CD of all players seems like a real easy thing to put together. When you try to field a team w/the same roster it is discouraging to go & find that you seem to be the only one going by the rules. Hope something changes. Tater50 John W. Hayes JAH Masters |
| Oct. 8 STONEMAN Men's 50 535 posts | JOHN::: Thanks 4 yer reply. I talked to several of our LVSSA board members & Jim, w/ SSWC. At the end of our event, our board will discuss sending to SS-USA, ISA, ISSA, & SPA, the list of all MAJOR PLUS teams. These players list will have the names of all M+, players. We will also, try & get the SUMMIT, to get others to send names of M+ players, to all other WORLD's DIRECTORS. I.E.: Settle sends to Vegas, Vegas, sends to SS-USA; & then SS-USA, will sent to the rest, & so on... Thanks ... The STONEMAN....... |
| Oct. 8 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | Page Nine of the Senior Softball News: Manager’s Handbook for 2007 “Q: I didn’t have a single tournament in which my entire team played, but they all played in at least one qualifier with me. Can they all play on my team at the championships? No. We rate teams, not players. Teams qualify for championships, not players. If one roster plays at one tournament & a different roster plays at another, the combined roster has not qualified. In other words, the combined roster of a team may be significantly stronger than the incomplete rosters that it used to qualify, thus negating the purpose of the qualifiers.” Seems this is suppose to be more strictly addressed in 07'.

| Oct. 8 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | I suggested this to the SPA & others that require ID cards; any renewals should be stamped AA, AAA, Major or Major+; cards already in use can be permanently marked at the first qualifier. Thus when you check in, it is on your card your classification status. Tater50 John W. Hayes JAH Masters |
| Oct. 8 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | I think BruceinGa brought up a good point a few weeks back; it was something like this: if a Major + player cannot play on a AAA team because of the danger issue, why do they play against the AAA teams in round robins? Hope I got that right Tater50 John W. Hayes JAH Masters |
| Oct. 8 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Stoney, I just copied and pasted this right from the LVSSA Masters rules page. Is this being interpreted wrong? I'm not contradicting you, just want to know. What does the "Play Down" rule mean? DC GENERAL STATEMENT: The Las Vegas Senior Softball Association (LVSSA) is a nonprofit organization established to provide opportunities to senior men and women to participate in slow-pitch softball. The following slow-pitch playing rules will be used during the 2006 LVSSA World Master’s Tournament. Other slow-pitch rules and guidelines not covered herein are contained in the ISA rule book. SECTION I PARTICIPATION I-A. PLAYER ELIGIBILITY (1) AGE: Senior softball competition shall begin at the age of 50 and advance each five years thereafter to include the following age divisions of play; 55+, 60+, 65+, 70+, 75+ and 80+. Eligibility pertaining to age shall be the current calendar year. (2) PLAY DOWN RULE: Players may play down one classification level only. Example: A Major Plus player may drop down and play on a Major Team. A Major player may drop down to an AAA Team. AAA player may drop down to an AA Team. (3) PROOF OF IDENTIFICATION: All participants must have a legal picture identification card at all times during the sanctioned event. In addition to photo, the card(s) must show a Date of Birth and address for the player. National Senior Softball identification cards (SSWC, SSWS, SPA & USSSA) may be acceptable. (4) PLAYER CHECK-IN & PARTICIPATION RULE: All players must check in before or during the the seeding rounds and/or no later than the start of the elimination rounds. All rosters will be frozen and no new players can be added upon commencement of the elimination rounds unless previously approved by the LVSSA. Players that have not checked in will not be able to participate in the elimination/championship games. |
