| Oct. 5, 2009 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Vegas is the model Not one of the tens of ball players I saw and talked with this weekend in Las Vegas dissented meaningfully from the view that the LVSSA event there showed all of us and anyone interested this is the softball we signed up for. The balls, by and large, were terrific, a Trump microcell ball that is made by Anaconda Sports. We never want to use a ball that is significantly less fun than that one if it ends up being too costly to buy. No PPR rule and no one got hit or hurt that I saw. Home runs were unlimited in major plus and huge fun. Fields were state of the art 295 fences with 30 foot high nets that kept the HR's from being cheap if the wind wasn't blowing out. Gary Pro and the rest of the LVSSA admins were everywhere and accessible for anything and everything having to do with the tournament and I'm sure they enjoyed seeing all of us have a great time. I started this thread because of the importance for all concerned, players, TD's and marketeers to get that we now know if we didn't before what our game looks like being played and Las Vegas was/is/ should be the model. If you want our business and support you will have to assure us these fundamental conditions will be met, up front, ahead of time or we're not coming. Good balls/bats, good parks, no PPR and All home runs as HRs or walks. Easy Peasy. |

| Oct. 5, 2009 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | Yes, we had fun too, even if we have no where near the power of everyone else! Would like to see another LVSSA tournament on the schedule. Would also like to see the 1 and 1 count for ALL the games to speed things up and maybe get another inning out of each game. |
| Oct. 5, 2009 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Hey J. I love the 1-1 count. It makes pitching and batting more aggressive. We don't need the full 4 balls and 3 strikes for slow pitch. It would let us get in more innings and pick up the pace and energy of the games. A good adjustment that TD's should really look at for the near future. |
