| Feb. 21, 2008 cpope Men's 75 160 posts | Dave Great tournament, excellant umps. I purchased to tournament shirts and left them in the bag in the parking lot. No problem, totally my fault. Is there a place where I can buy another? link or e-mail address? Thanks CPope |
| Feb. 22, 2008 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | cpope - The merchandising for the TOC was handled by an independent company. We're not sure what inventory they might have left or be able to re-create, but the company is called Team IP and their website seems to have online ordering options. Try there first at: www.teamipsports.com Good luck! |
| Feb. 22, 2008 tg69 393 posts | were there only one team in 50 major+ and two in 55 major +? |
| Feb. 23, 2008 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | tg69 - Shamefully yes, it looks like there were not enough of the invited teams there. If someone makes a commitment to a team they should be prepared to represent that team fully understanding what it means to compete against the best. If that means going to the TOC (which is our premier event) they should be prepared for that. Unfortunately, many teams (including mine) didn't "man up" and go to the TOC once qualified. In essence they defaulted their shot at the national championship to the teams that did. Does it mean the teams that were there didn't deserve it? Nope, you bet they deserve it - they did what it takes to be a champion by honoring their commitment to their teammates and their sport. They deserve to be the national champions. This isn't always about showing up at the field. It's about finishing what you started. That's what defines a competitor and a teammate. |
| Feb. 24, 2008 hornachec Men's 55 50 posts | 4X4 - maybe the TOC should be held 3 or 4 weeks after the World Championships. By February a lot of the guys are moving to new teams (or age groups) having surgeries they put off so they could finish the season, or haven't been able to stay in playing shape because they haven't been able to play games for 3 months due to weather. A good idea would be to play the winter worlds/nationals actually in winter and move TOC to that time slot. Would also stop teams from qualifying with thier "next years" team at the winter events. |
| Feb. 24, 2008 smooth01 Men's 50 128 posts | This question is more for Terry Hennesey, Why is a tournament that can use a roster for "NEXT" year included in the TOC when some of the player's haven't been eligible to play for the entire season and won't even 50 til the folling season? |
| Feb. 25, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 308 posts | My team was one of the teams the had "Next" Year's team at the TOC. We had three 49's playing with us. However those guys were on the roster when we won in Ft Myers, and obviously we did not make the rules. That situation was brought up and I believe they are going to change the rules however. Hope this info helps you. |

| Feb. 27, 2008 rabbit Men's 70 319 posts | The Wabbit is here, but he isnt all there anymore, Rabbit |
| Feb. 27, 2008 Southpaw55 Men's 55 49 posts | Very well put, 4X4....it is indeed a huge commitment but more importantly, it is a chance to compete against the best of your peers and you may never be given that opportunity again. Our team qualified at the Spring Worlds in Palm Springs last year and unanimously decided to forego the Reno tournament so that everyone could afford the trip to Florida. It turned out to be a good team decision and we all felt very fortunate to the man to have been able to experience theTOC for the first time. Mike Boatright #9 Doubleplay |
| Feb. 28, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 308 posts | hey coach mike i would have to say the same thing! all my guys were excited to go to the TOC! for us Penna boys, i mean playing softball if February? and then playing teams from California, Arizona etc. It was very special to us!
