Everything looks great EXCEPT for the homerun DBO's after each division's limit. All seniors are used to hitting home runs for singles when the limit is gone. Can you change them to singles? This one thing could keep teams from coming in my opinion especially in the Elite division where guys like to take it deep every time.

I definetely will look at it, my thoughts

With the hard ball we are using and the easy bat restrictions, if there are 20 singles in one inning, that doesn't make for a very fun game? I have no problem make the adjustments but would like some more input

Chris,
#1 - A lot of players do not want to change their swing to avoid hitting the ball over the fence.
#2 - Changing to a base hit swing often means guys will be going hard up the middle and no one wants that either.
I play on a Major Plus team and I know our guys will not want to go to any tourney where there are dead ball outs for homers after the limit. We would rather have the home run singles and have to chase the balls or provide extra balls if necessary. Just my opinion.

chris thanks for listening,the elite should be unlimited and make them chase them LOL,your limits seem fine,the elite group will hit more than 10 i think, maybe give them 12.l like the progressive for the league div,keeps alot of the teams from trying to sneak bombers on to their teams.it also will make the big boys play up in their div they should be long in.are you going to do an equalizer also or the # of hr's only
thanks ODB :):)

Chris,
Thanks for listening. We appreciate it.

Gary19 - I never said the middle was better or preferred, I was just stating a fact that some people go middle when homers are gone. I personally prefer right or left field for base hits, but have seen way too many pitchers get hit when homers are gone. Keeping homers as singles will keep it just a little safer in my opinion.

Chris, Fellas.

No problem with the Elite and Competitive divisions going to singles after the limits are reached.

However ,in the Recreation and League divisions I support these rules, should help hold down the sandbagging, Give's teams a starting point, a place to play without getting their heads beat in.

Remember in giving the player what he/she wants we're going to try and keep things as competive as possibles, as safe as possible.
With the right to reclass any team at anytime.
