As always, these TENTATIVE schedules are subject to change and become final ONLY when released as "Official" at the Manager's meetings before play commences ... The Master Games & Fields Grid has also been posted ... Please note that there are no field numbers at Delta Park - The fields are named for the primary sponsors of each field ... We have posted an aerial map of the fields to assist in getting oriented ... Good luck to all! |

| June 19, 2008 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | Friday afternoon games in a little northwest 7 team tournament? Ridiculous! Not everyone that plays senior softball is retired! Some people can't be taking every Friday off for these tournaments. Get them done in two days! Be ready for a lot of forfeits! |
| June 20, 2008 DesertGuy Men's 60 224 posts | Jawood- Not sure what northwest schedule you're looking at but I counted 33 teams playing on Friday. Seven on Wednesday and Thursday isn't many until everyone else shows up for the rest. |
| June 21, 2008 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | The 50+ division. They can't squeeze a 7 team tournament into 2 days? |
| June 21, 2008 DesertGuy Men's 60 224 posts | I still count 14 50's teams, not 7. I guess you could probably do your 7 in two days if there weren't 26 other team in the tournament. Maybe you shoud ask to play all by yourselves on a different weekend? Get a clue |
| June 21, 2008 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | There are 7 teams in the 50+ major division! It's right there in black and white, you get the clue! |
| June 21, 2008 Hit the gap Men's 70 154 posts | Jawood, this is a 33 team tournament. All 33 teams play on Friday. Do you think your 50+ Major division deserves special treatment? There are plenty of us that play in the 60's that still work and have to take time off. I don't get your beef? |
| June 21, 2008 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | Back in the day of the 32 to 48 team tournaments, directors were able to squeeze them into 2 days. If Portland doesn't have the fields, maybe they should be playing it elsewhere. |
| June 22, 2008 Hit the gap Men's 70 154 posts | Jawood, you're right but back in the day, most tourneys were double elim. Now they are all 5 game guarantee coupled with the fact that most senior players prefer not to play at night. I do agree that in todays economy, it does add an additional financial burden when the tournaments are stretched out over 3 or 4 days. The tradeoff would be night games and the possibility of cramming 5 to 7 or 8 games into a 2 day period. I don't know about you but a lot of the older guys would not hold up physically under those conditions. See you in Portland. |
| June 24, 2008 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | I will be there but unfortunately it will be Saturday morning. |
