Aug. 8, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	St. Louis Tournament August 20-21 I was just wondering who are all the Major Plus teams going to this tournament in the 50 division?
Aug. 8, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	We, OKI Softball will be there.
Aug. 8, 2011 RIK56 Men's 50 117 posts	mario good chance you will be the only one.
Aug. 8, 2011 mad dog Men's 60 3803 posts	hey mario,congrats by the way on your usssa win.
Aug. 8, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	Thanks, mad dog. We played well as a team again. Both offense and defense.
Aug. 8, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	We've been told by the tourney director that there were 4 other teams that were going to be in our division. Just wondering who they will be.
Aug. 8, 2011 RIK56 Men's 50 117 posts	this is just a guess but i would say the team i play for 50 caliber will be one,coorslight is another,maybe springfield wingstop,and not sure if the barons are playing that could be the other team.
Aug. 9, 2011 JohnBob Men's 60 232 posts	Smith Laminating a 50M team will be there,as will our Jim & Joe's 60M. I would like to see this Tourney do good because of time of year and its close for us. What about the teams from Indy & KC ?
Aug. 9, 2011 Brett Men's 55 242 posts	Kansa City Barons will be in St. Louis.
Aug. 9, 2011 RIK56 Men's 50 117 posts	there you go mario i think we have the four teams you will be playing,not sure if you have ever played in bridgeton,fields are the best in this area,nice big a/c concession area.harrahs and ameristar casinos 5 mins away,it will be a good tourament.oh and since you guys are major plus leave the senior bats home,we will have wood bats for you to use lol.
Aug. 9, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	We'll use what everyone else uses.!!!!lol
Aug. 11, 2011 Brett Men's 55 242 posts	Mario, I just now saw the brackets for the St. Louis tournament. Did your OKI team drop out at the last minute?
Aug. 11, 2011 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	Where did you see the brackets?
Aug. 11, 2011 Brett Men's 55 242 posts	An e-mail was sent to the managers.
Aug. 11, 2011 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	How many teams in 50 major? Who are they?
Aug. 11, 2011 Brett Men's 55 242 posts	There are five 50+ major teams: 50 Calibur Coors Light Springfield Wingstop Smith Laminating Kansas City Barons
Aug. 11, 2011 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	How many teams in 50 major? Who are they?
Aug. 11, 2011 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	Thanks, not sure my question duplicated.
Aug. 11, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	As far as I know we are supposed to be going. I'm calling our coach right now.
Aug. 11, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	I just found out that there are no Major plus teams so we will not be going. Bummer!! The above listed teams are the 50 Major teams.
Aug. 11, 2011 stick8 1117 posts	Mario are you kidding me? I just made flight reservations yesterday
Aug. 11, 2011 Brett Men's 55 242 posts	We were looking forward to playing you again.
Aug. 11, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	No stick, I am not kidding - just found out at about 4pm my time today.
Aug. 11, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	Norm ased Jimmy if he still wanted to go, they would have put us in with the Major division teams, but he did not want to do that.
Aug. 11, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	Brett, I would have loved to play you guys again. But now we don't get to play again until Vegas.
Aug. 11, 2011 stick8 1117 posts	Mario I just talked to Norm and he confirmed it. The teams that were entered as major plus got reclassified to major 3 weeks ago. Oh well, gotta wait 7 weeks until Vegas.
Aug. 12, 2011 Brett Men's 55 242 posts	FYI - 50 Calibur, Springfield Wingstop, and Smith Laminating have never been rated major plus. Coors light was rerated to major on 02/17/11 and the KC Barons were rerated to major on 07/25/11.
Aug. 12, 2011 stick8 1117 posts	Brett in that case I stand corrected. Thank you for the info. That being said I did call the tournament director right after we played SPA and he did tell me there were 4 major plus teams entered and that we would be the fifth. Perhaps he meant major or didn't realize they were only major teams. Either way I'm bummed we're not going.
Aug. 12, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	I'm right there with ya stick. Bummed that is..... I just want to play.
Aug. 13, 2011 stick8 1117 posts	Mario unless something unforseen comes up I'm sure we'll all be chomping at the bit come Vegas. Hopefully Carl will be ready to go by then.
Aug. 13, 2011 Jawood Men's 50 742 posts	Here is another example of a team, OKI, that has played those teams many times in the past that are now moved down to Major for some reason and they don't get to go to a tournament they wanted to participate in. Again, there are not enough teams at the Major-plus level to make it worth while! COMBINE MAJOR AND MAJOR-PLUS!
Aug. 15, 2011 stick8 1117 posts	Jawood that's a good case to combine major and major plus. I'd be good with combining the divisions and splitting the difference with the home runs with 1 up and a single after.
Aug. 15, 2011 RIK56 Men's 50 117 posts	I agree, get rid of the major plus division.
Aug. 15, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	I agree, we should combine the 2 and make the HR's 7 and 1 up and singles afterward.
Aug. 16, 2011 CL11AT 6 posts	RIK56, see you sometime Sat. playing golf in the morning with Munch, Johnny and Bobby T. then we're coming to watch for a while. Stick8, was hoping to see you guy's also, but i wouldn't make the trip either with nobody to play. Lazer Larry
Aug. 16, 2011 CL11AT 6 posts	Richie didn't you guys get to play in Chitown last weekend. Lazer
Aug. 22, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	Anybody know who won the Major division in St.Louis last weekend?
Aug. 22, 2011 cal50 Men's 50 226 posts	Smith Laminating hit all weekend and won without a loss. 50 Cal second. Coors Light third.
Aug. 22, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	Congrats to Smiths Laminating on their win in St. Louis. They are a good bunch of guys.
Aug. 22, 2011 Gary33 140 posts	Thanks Mario hope to see you at a tournament soon! Haven't decided where to play next. 50 Calibur one of the best teams we've played, they have a lot of heart.
Aug. 25, 2011 Mario Men's 50 312 posts	Gary33 you guys going to Vegas or Pheonix?
