| Posted | Discussion |
| Nov. 12 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Good news for everyone! It is 6 weeks until Christmas and only 14 weeks until our first tourney in the Bham area. I have hosted a practice tourney ( 1 day ) prior to the first national senior tourney in Montgomery for several years. It is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, February 27, 2010. Just trying to get an early read on who might be interested in the surrounding Southern states. Please let me know on here or call me at 205-647-2881. Formally known as Scrap Iron Steve---now: Stryker Steve ( 60/over team ). Thanks and have a wonderful Holiday and Holy day season. |
| Nov. 12 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | I've played in this tourneyment for the pass 2 or 3 years and always had a great time. I'm pretty sure I'll be playing with someone in Birmingham. |
| Nov. 12 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Thanks Joe, I appreciate your endorsement. Hope all is well. Some other info: Will not play if under 50 degrees. 4 team pools, rr format, guaranteed 3 games. Entry is $200 and includes umpires and 3 softballs ( u-trip balls ). Single elimination for pool winners. 5 homeruns, then singles. One hour time limit for games in order to complete tourney by sundown. If everyone will agree, I may ask for a little experiment in first game. 9 scores the first inning, 8 scores the second, 7 scores the third, etc. 5 scores in the fifth and following that open. But called if 15 run lead after the 6th inning. Crazy? |
| Nov. 16 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Probably not the best time to have posted since everyone was headed for Ft. Myers. Hope now that it is over, some teams will express interest. Thanks |
| Nov. 16 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | Southpaw--I would like to play 60 Or 65 all of my teams will still be sleeping in their dens---Louisville and Dayton--- Can I pick up with some other team for the weekend???? Are you SSUSA or SPA or ISA or non of the above????? Wes |
| Nov. 17 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Hey Wes, this is not a sanctioned tourney, but most of the teams will be SPA. We will be preparing for the first SPA event in Montgomery. You probably could pick up. Stay in touch after the first of the year. I can tell you something then. Thanks |
| Nov. 20 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | I see that SPA has published their schedule for 2010. The Montgomery tourney is the 3rd weekend in March. So, my little practice tourney will be on Saturday, March 6. Our games will begin at 10 a.m. and the tourney should be over by 6 p.m. I already have 4 teams committed; will take no more than 16. Thanks |
| Nov. 20 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | southpaw Can I just put a team of 60-65 & 70 togather and come on down???????? Will be in Birmingham next week for three day is there any place where I could hit some balls????/ Wes |
| Nov. 21 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Wes, I would be glad to have your team in our tourney. It is a practice tourney. There will be very few 65/over teams in the tourney. So, we divide the round robins up as fair as possible. Call me when you get in town. It is a holiday, however, not sure what my schedule will be. But there might be 2 or 3 of us who could hit some--depending on the weather, of course. Thanks |
| Nov. 25 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Response has been good already. I already have 8 teams interested. Please let me know if you would like to participate. Tourney is open to 50's - 65's, AA-Major.. We will divide into pools as best we can and accomodate older teams (65's) playing younger teams. Thanks |
| Nov. 26 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | Steve Bruce,Tom,Bubba,Goose,Jim,Don,PattyMac and Wes have a great Thanksgiving. The ball flys well at this field. When you leave the park you will say that was a fun day of softball. Go on down to Birmingham a Pass A Good Time. Joe Lefty Falcon Wild Bunch Softball 60 Major Birmingham 55 AAA |
| Nov. 26 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Thanks Joe, again, for you very kind endorsement. But more so, thanks for your well wishes on this thanksgiving holiday and your friendship. It is my prayer that you and your family are greatly blessed. God bless you. |
