Posted | Discussion |
March 12 SSUSA Staff 3505 posts | The entry deadline for the 2009 SSUSA Spring World Championships in Mesquite recently passed. Entries far exceeded our expectations, with a record number (over 100 teams) this year. To avoid turning away teams, we have added the Canyon's Complex in St. George, UT to the Playing Facilities list. This 7-field complex has been awarded the "Complex of the Year" by the NSA for the last 8 years and is likely familiar to anyone who has played in St. George. Mesquite will have an additional 12 or more tournament quality fields available for the 2010 Spring World's, so we trust this year's St. George addition will be an acceptable alternative until the new Mesquite fields come on-line. Thank you for your overwhelming support of the 2009 SSUSA Spring World's and good luck to all of the teams! The preliminary Participating Teams List will be published later today (Thursday) and DRAFT Game Schedules will be forthcoming in the next few days. They will be available on the Spring World's Tournament Page |

March 18 hitt2 353 posts | Dave tried to check the 55 mens schedules, but couldn't get any thing. Is posted yet? Maybe it just me not hitting the right key. |

March 18 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | Schedule links will become "active" one by one as each age group division is completed ... You'll know when you see (on most browsers) the age is underlined ... The Master Grid download can provide information about your age and division in the meantime ... DAVE |

March 18 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | DRAFT Game Schedules and Brackets for Session #2 (Men's 40's, 50's, 55's and 60's and Women's 40's, 50's and 55's) of the 2009 Spring World Championships in Mesquite, NV, and St. George, UT, have been posted and are available from the links on the Spring World's Tournament Page ...

March 20 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | SESSION # 1 Revision - There have been changes to accommodate the unfortunate passing of the Fairway Ford 75's manager, requiring them to withdraw from the event. Changes impact the 65/70-Platinum Division for the Tuesday and Wednesday Round Robin games. The 70-Major Division is now a Best 2 of 3 between the Mesa (AZ) Cardinals and the Thousand Oaks (CA) 70's instead of a three-team Double Elimination format. SESSION #2 Revisions - There have been nominal changes as follows: • Mens's 40-Masters (Saturday) - Round Robin game sequencing has been modified • Men's 55-AAA - The Saturday Bracket games had incorrect field number assignments. Those have been corrected. Good luck to all! |
March 20 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | Session #1 - Revisions (hopefully final!) ... The Men's 65-Gold Division had changes required due to the withdrawal of the Scrap Iron Red (CO) team this morning ... Changes affected the round robin and bracket for that divsion, and a nominal change (to earlier) in the first round Wednesday afternoon bracket games for the 65/70-Major+ Division Good luck to all! ..

March 24 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | All of the Spring World's schedules take this time zone difference into account. The times listed are like airline flight schedules: All times are stated in LOCAL time at the venue. The Friday games in St. George begin at 10:00 AM MDT and in Mesquite at 9:00 AM PDT ... They start at the same "moment" but not at the same "time" on the clock ... Those with cell phones should notice your phone's time display changing as soon as you enter Arizona on the way to Utah ... Good luck to all! |
March 25 DaveDowell Men's 70 4323 posts | MEN'S 40's REVISED - The previous revision to the Men's 40's Division in St. George (dated March 20, 2009) was overlooked and not published to the web site until this morning ... The previous version, dated 03/18/2009 is to be disregarded ... This omission is solely on me, for which I apologize ... The true schedule is dated 03/20/2009 ... DAVE |
