| Jan. 30, 2010 Freddie Men's 55 108 posts | it depends on what you mean by competitive AA strong middle including the pitcher, in the o/f 2 to 3 good players & have 6-7 good batters. AAA strong i/f & o/f, good batters from top to bottom with a couple of players that can take the ball out. Majors same as AAA, but now you have 4-5 players that can take the ball out anytime. Major Plus same as Majors, but everyone in the line-up can take it out. Best of Luck, Freddie Agave Realty |

You'll have to decide how big of a roster, make it clear from the first if you have more than 12 guys how you will play it during a tournament (bat everyone, sit some in alternate games, play the best and sit the rest, etc.). Good luck! We love to see new 50 teams—it's good for senior softball. |
| Feb. 2, 2010 ricky33 52 posts | thanks all for the great info about my question. looking forward to playing this year. thinking about taking 12 players as it gets tough to coach more than that. we will be chipping in also, everyone wants to play. how much participation fee. i heard something about a participation fee or something. i'll probably have more questions, just looking to have fun and prolong my career. just an average player but i love the game. started in 1976, thanks, ricky |
