MEN'S 40-MASTERS REVISION - Game times on Friday have been pushed back one hour, now starting at 10:30 AM instead of the previously published 9:30 AM ... The revision accommodates the Mayor's schedule availability for the City of Scottsdale's Grand Opening and Dedication Ceremony of the Grayhawk Park Softball Complex ... The SSUSA World Championships are the first event to take place at this beautiful facility and we welcome all of the teams and their fans to join us at 10:00 AM to commemorate the event ... The online schedules have been posted to reflect the change ... Thank you!

SESSION #1 MAJOR REVISION - The Men's 40-Masters Division Brackets have been re-drafted in their entirety. Seeding play indicated three (3) teams had been erroneously rated to the "Blue" Division upper bracket. They have been moved to the "Red" Division and both brackets have been completely re-drawn. Revisions are posted here. Thank you!

Dave are we going to have to wait until game day to get our starting times for session 3?
There are still guys waiting to make room reservations, why cant we get this done in a more timely manner?

Men's 55's Division Round Robin Seeding games schedules have been posted. Men's 50's will be forthcoming later today.

As always, these TENTATIVE schedules are subject to change and become final ONLY when released as "OFFICIAL" at the Manager's meeting the evening before play commences ...

Sure would be nice to go back to the 'good old days' and just draw numbers out of the hat on Manager Meeting Night to see where everyone fits into the schedule! <>

Dave,
Now there is an idea ... Perhaps. You should get a lot of remarks after the games that way. Might do the same for ball choices and rules.... lol
No one will know who, what, or when they will play until the meeting. Only will (maybe) know the name of the park.
That is really show and tell.
I remember the draw\hat days in the 70's.

Dave unless OKI players have a split squad you have them twice at 5PM. Also senior softball can't be any harder to schedule than the building block deliveries you used schedule for the pyramids.

Thanks for the "heads-up" on OKI, it's fixed ... I haven't run this thru the conflicts check yet (she's at another field!) ... Actually, this is a no-brainer schedule ... Only about 1,100 games over 10 days on 29 fields at seven sports complexes for 320 or so teams ... Piece 'a cake!

Another possible conflict noticed: In the 50s AAA division you have CJ&S Express playing 50 Caliber at 11:00 am Friday on Field 1 at Victory Lane.
But CJ&S Express is also playing Shark Sports at 10:30 am on Field 4 at Rose Mofford in the USA National Championship game.

Dave - the "Championship Play" bracket games for 50AAA runs from 3:00PM-7:30PM (although the text on the schedule says "bracket play begins at 1:30PM at Rose Mofford"), but the "Master" schedule has games starting at 1:30PM running through 6:00PM. I just wanted to double check on this, since we don't want to be late. Am I missing something? Thanks.

Dave - I just re-read my previous post and it's a bit confusing, to say the least. The simple question is, should the 50AAA bracket games for Friday at Rose Mofford start an hour and a half sooner? Sorry for the confusion.

cw ... You didn't miss a thing ... That's an obvious error on my part ... The bracket will commence at 1:30 PM and I will change it accordingly ...

NOTE: - There is a current re-write underway in the 50-Major and 50-AAA to reflect a team being moved from the AAA to the Major Bracket ... There will now be 27 in the AAA and 23 in the Majors ... Revisions will be posted as soon as completed

Brackets are currently being re-drafted Wednesday night (Read: They will be available at the Manager Meeting Thursday evening and there is no reason to call the SSUSA office or ask here when/if they will be posted)
