| March 6, 2009 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | 60+ Major Plus teams in Reno? Our team, the Florida Merchants are trying to decide if we want to go to the ROCK 'N RENO CHALLENGE CUP. Maybe I should say I am trying to decide if I want to go. How is the 60M+ turnout there? How are the fields? How is the tournament run? Anything else I should know? It's been 20 years since I've been in Reno and can only imagine how much it has changed. |

| March 6, 2009 bashbro1 Men's 70 267 posts | Bruce! bash and the Ruth 60's will be going to Rock n' Reno again this year and just luv the Golden Eagle Softball Complex last year even though we went 1-5. Major Plus competition is very tough at this event each and every year and is quite an team achievement to win it. Hope your FL Merchants will attend. For W.E.

| March 6, 2009 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Bruce, we'll be there... the format last year was a 5 game round robin... 2,2,1 over the 3 days... Ruth Realty must have been given an extra game along the way... :-) The Golden Eagle complex is state-of-the-art(in Sparks, NV), as many have said. But there is no guarantee that we'll play there. We also played at another one in Reno (Rancho San Rafael)and it was sub-standard, to say the least. There is another one in Sparks (Shadow Mtn) that was used and we didn't play any games there so this could be the year that we do. I have no frame of reference for it. The entire area is at a decent altitude so balls do carry a bit... with 6 HRs and a DBO this becomes an issue/concern. We had 6 teams last year... MTC, GSF, Old A's, Boaz, Ruth & Scrap Iron. There is also part of this event that will be played in Carson City, 30 miles south. It is my understanding that we won't play there... but don't hold me to this. I'd stay in Reno as it's very convenient to both Sparks complexes and Rancho San Rafael. There is a lot to see in Reno and Carson City... more relaxed than LV. I hope that you do make the trip...

| March 6, 2009 ShaneV Men's 55 393 posts | Great tournament last year 2008, 50AAA played down in Carson City, stayed in Reno at the Sands. Was there for Western 2007 & 2006 and just love the feel of Reno. Rather play in Reno than Vegas or Salt Lake. On par with Phoenix as far as facilities and weather, with lots of sin! (I mean gambling). Hoping this is our year for the new Sparks Complex! |
