May 4, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Reno 60 & 65 teams Looking to see which teams are coming this year. Since the deadline for entry is only about a week away, most should know by now. |
May 6, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | What's up here, isn't anyone at all curious who they may be playing against in Reno? I know I am. I'll be with the Animals 65 AAA (A new team I believe, Please look me up I'd like to meet you.) Others I have heard are going are; AEGIS Spartans 65 AA B- town Bombers 60AAA (A new team) Cut Loose 60 AAA Nevada Giants 65 AA Physiomotion 65 AA Sacramento Buds 65 AA Triple Play 70 AA |
May 6, 2012 B.K. 49 posts | No Dice 60 major will be there |
May 6, 2012 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | Tanel 360 out of Austin Texas 60 AAA will be there. |
May 6, 2012 softball4b Men's 70 1246 posts | GSF 60 Major + will be there. |
May 6, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Thanks guys. It's starting to shape up. Hope all divisions get a few more teams signed up so there are real brackets instead of playing out of your own age and rating. |
May 6, 2012 DoubleL10 Men's 70 905 posts | Texas Makules 60 Major and Omen 65 Major Plus will be there. |
May 6, 2012 Chief144 Men's 70 159 posts | Game On 65 Major will be there! |
May 6, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | This is what I have so far but more are needed to prevent the playing the older\younger smarter better looking big brother stuff: lol Should be readable w\ ages & ratings but who knows when I hit the enter key where they will end up. 60AA ... AAA B- town Bombers Cut Loose Tanel 360 Major No Dice GSF Texas Makules M+ Omen 65 AEGIS Spartans Nevada Giants Physiomotion Sacramento Buds AAA Animals Major Game on 70 AA Triple Play 70 |
May 6, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Didn't turn out bad, but weak in teams. So by this, you should be able to figure out who you'll be playing... Hopefully more than who took the time to post and no one pulls out to cause other problem for everyone. Only two teams I'm not familiar with both out of Tx, Omen & Makules. Should be some good games. |
May 6, 2012 curveball Men's 65 705 posts | Omen is thee 65 Major+ team and is mostly from Northern California. |
May 6, 2012 Chief144 Men's 70 159 posts | Game On 65 Major will be there! |
May 6, 2012 DoubleL10 Men's 70 905 posts | The Omen team is based around Sacramento. Texas Makules has a lot of Texas Legends 55s guys. |
May 6, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I read the post by DoubleL10 regarding the team as another Tx team. I am familiar with the Ca. Omen team. Game On is listed under the 65's Over all, it's pretty accurate for info posted. Lets just hope more teams are going that we don't know about. You just never know until about a week before. Hope to put many faces to ID's and emails. |
May 6, 2012 chico senior Men's 60 134 posts | North State Scrrenprint from Chico, Ca will be there. Looking forward to playing teams in our age and skill level. |
May 6, 2012 d45 160 posts | 65 Scrap Iron Classics will be there. Looking forward to playing our friendly rival teams, Sac Blues and The Zone. Steven, from the Blues, how did the surgery go? I hope you are doing better! You are a warrior, my friend! I talked with you in the Vegas airport after the Mesquite toourney. See you in Reno! |
May 6, 2012 d45 160 posts | Sorry guys, forgot to say this, Scrap Iron Classics are a 65 AA team. |
May 6, 2012 d45 160 posts | Someone clarify this for me. Are the Sacremento Blues and the Sacremento Buds two different AA teams? When we have played them the last three years they have always been called the Blues. That's cool if Sacremento has two AA 65 teams. |
May 7, 2012 CRUSADERVB Men's 70 275 posts | 60 MAJOR PLUS; GSF MTC ROSE ENTERPRISE MASTER COLLISION |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I wasn't sure about the Blues from Sac. Another 65 Major team will be W.E. Ruth Realty out of WA. |
May 7, 2012 chico senior Men's 60 134 posts | North State Screenprint ia a 60 AAA. |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I wasn't sure about the Blues from Sac. Another 65 Major team will be W.E. Ruth Realty out of WA. |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Hey, #6 (Kenny), #19 (Bob) and Doker (Doak) are you all coming to the Reno game? It would be nice to see you all again. |
May 7, 2012 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | taits, Doak and Bob are coming, as of right now...I am not, but things could change. It would be good to see you again too ! |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | A couple more 65 Major Plus teams would be sweet. While I see there are only 15 in this select group, I think getting 5 toÊ6 teams if not more is realistic for one of the best T's put on during the year. Ten days to go for entry deadline and thought I know there are teams I was told were going no post have been made on them. I hope to see & meet many here. |
May 7, 2012 Caveman Men's 50 68 posts | Sacramento Saints 60 AAA will be there |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I was glad to see Dave & Jim made the leap, but think you'll do well seeing the results from your last T. |
May 7, 2012 Caveman Men's 50 68 posts | I'm anxious to see what our competition will be. This is my first year with the Saints and we've been competitive in all of our tournaments so far. I think the only reason we got moved to AAA is that there are 4-5 new quality players. Treacy |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Caveman, Homework time.... Read the past Reno T's most do them every year just as most teams attend the same T's where ever they are. Some are mentioned in the thread but many are not. You are correct on the new players ( new rule as well) but it is also a wise move to get better. A few others could learn by it. How was your Lodi T for you other than the RO. |
May 7, 2012 SCRAPPY 44 posts | Scrap Iron Phiten 65 AAA team will be there. Looking forward to it. Scrappy 6 |
May 7, 2012 Caveman Men's 50 68 posts | Taits, The Lodi Tournament went well. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and the brackets were good. We did a bat raffle and collected enough to raffle two bats of each winners's choice, plus did a 50/50 raffle. We have 4 winery sponsors that pay most of the awards, so we still make a good profit for our organization. Treacy |
May 7, 2012 SacIslander 55 Men's 65 3 posts | Sacramento Islanders 60AAA will be there. |
May 7, 2012 etch Men's 60 17 posts | Nor Cal Storm...60 Major will be there |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | This should be a GREAT Tournament. Am surprised that AEGIS Spartans and NV Giants have not responded since NV advertises for it and the other I started the season with but left due to an injury and misunderstand on a roster issue. Hope they both come. |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Have an inquiry from a M+ team looking for a PITCHER. Must be East if the Mississippi. If your a M= pitcher and your team isn;'t going post a note with contact info here or contact me, I'll forward it to them. Their Pitcher needed knee replacement. Team still plans to attend. Act fast on this. Thanks |
May 7, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Major Plus pitcher guys. |
May 8, 2012 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | There is a little confusion here, my fault. Our team is the one that needs a pitcher. We aren't going to Reno, just need a pitcher. Looks like we will be playing in Maryville, Dalton, Las Vegas, Jacksonville and maybe a couple of others. Let me know. Bruce Fairchild Crystal Pharmacy/Mobley Ginn 60 M+ |
May 8, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Bruce, Sorry, for misreading the note. No, not your fault, mine. |
May 8, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Updated chart from here and emails I have received. LMK is I missed something. The ones with ???, I was told would be coming but northing here to reflect or email verify. 60's AA ... AAA B- town Bombers ??? Cut Loose Tanel 360 Sacramento Islanders Sacramento Saints North State Screenprint Major No Dice Texas Makules Animals 60 Nor Cal Storm Major + GSF MTC ------------------------ 65's AA AEGIS Spartans ??? Nevada Giants ??? Physiomotion Sacramento Buds CA olden Bears Scrap Iron Classics AAA Animals 65 Scrap Iron Phiten 65 Major Game on Strike Force WE Ruth ??? M+ Omen No conformation Crusader for these two, but it would really sweeten the div. ROSE ENTERPRISE MASTER COLLISION |
May 8, 2012 JD32 9 posts | Bay Supporters 60AAA will be there. |
May 8, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Jd32, That's good news. I just got word via email that the 65 AAA Masters Marauders out of BC Canada. will attend also. With any luck as it were, the team count might go past last years total of 217 teams for the event. The last 3 years have each been larger then the previous one. It only goes back to 2009 with that info 2008 is only winners info. |
May 8, 2012 J R 251 posts | I will be there with Doaker and Bob |
May 8, 2012 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Strike Force 65 M (CA) will be there |
May 8, 2012 JLD930 Men's 55 67 posts | Confirming what Crusader mentioned Master Collison 60M+ will be there. Jack #30 Master Collision |
May 8, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | JLD930, Making the 60 M+ bracket very good indeed. I was told that Ed Rose's team is also attending but am not sure of age etc or team name I could not find "name" in ratings for 65 or 60... any help here again Bruce? It's part the mess up I did earlier re pitcher. Could use a couple more 65 M+ teams so no one plays out of their comfort zone having to play up\down ratings and ages. That sucks. |
May 8, 2012 DoubleL10 Men's 70 905 posts | As I understand it from Ed Rose, his 60 team is Rose Enterprises and his 65 team is Florida Thunder. |
May 8, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | DoubeL10, Either or both would really add to and help full filling of the upper divisions. Crusadervb mentioned the Rose Ent. but I did not see it & did not know about the other. Thanks. |
May 8, 2012 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Scott and LL,I was told the 60 M+ will be there. I don't think both 60 and 65 will be playing. |
May 8, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Bruce, thanks for the update. Makes for a vg 60's M+ bracket. |
May 8, 2012 audieh Men's 60 249 posts | The Hollis Appraisals / Rose Enterprise - 60 Major Plus team from Florida will be in Reno. |
May 9, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Updated chart again & LMK is I missed something here. Still a few questionable teams, but knowing that many do not reply to emails and others just like their ÔprivacyÕ, there will be more that are not listed. Only 3 days to enter, so I think those who do not speak up are really hurting the overall scheme of things thinking rightly or incorrectly that there will be only a few teams or will play out of age\ratings arena. I personally do not like them but I do not mind playing better teams in order to learn from them. Also hear from many that so & so team is coming but I needed info from the team or player on it, so there are many others not listed here unfortunately. Games begin in a week\half. Good luck to all, hope to meet see again many of you. 60's AA ??? ... AAA B- town Bombers ??? Come on Cal. Cut Loose Tanel 360 Sacramento Islanders Sacramento Saints North State Screen Print \ Athletic Major No Dice Texas Makules Animals 60 Nor Cal Storm Major + GSF MTC Hollis Appraisals \ Rose Enterprises Looks like a merge here. Master Collision ------------------------ 65's AA AEGIS Spartans ??? On your schedule, bailing again? Hope not. NV Giants ??? Hey, you just won one NSA T, said you were coming, where are you? Physiomotion Sacramento Buds CA olden Bears Scrap Iron Classics Sacramento Blues AAA Animals 65 Scrap Iron Phiten 65 Major Game on Strike Force WE Ruth M+ Omen Need some competition for these guys. |
May 9, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Marauders of CA are going to Reno. 60 AAA I added ' of CA' because I know there is one other Marauder team also attending, Masters Marauders 65 AAA out of BC Canada. And possibly another as well in the 60's. from Canada. I have sent out 3 bulk emails (BCC) over the last few days seeking info, only about 8-10 were returned w\ info and a few invalid email addys. Keep them coming. |
May 9, 2012 BB205 Men's 75 11 posts | Bickerton 65 M+ and Arizona Heat 70 M+ will be there |
May 9, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Very Good teams. Nice to read this, it should ease the mix some what. I hope a few more come as well in the 65 & 70's M+ range. |
May 9, 2012 JJ Men's 75 18 posts | taits: Silver Sox 65AAA (So Cal) will be there. |
May 9, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Been awhile JJ. It will be good to see you again. I haven't heard of this team. What happened to the Isl Boys? I chatted w Larry S. but they won't be coming. Stay healthy and drive safely. |
May 10, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | With about 30 teams listed here and given that most do not use the board for posting I'd say only half or less are representatives of the number of teams that will actually be there. The tough div age brackets to fill are the Major Plus areas but the 60's is looking pretty good. Hope there are some more 65 M+ teams coming that just didn't post. Bikerton's post will give Omen at least a run, Not sure if the 70's M+ will need to play down as it were in that one. Hoping for one or two more M+ teams there. Still 2 days left to enter..... |
May 11, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Still today and tomorrow to enter this good event. I am hoping for full brackets in all divisions, so no one is 'forced' to play out of their age & ratings area either up or down. Hope to see & meet many new people there. Will be there Mon-Thrs. Need to be back by Fri for sleep apnea problem. so seeing many in the 60's I wanted to will be a problem now. |
May 11, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | An update of sorts; There are 'roughly 'over 130 teams entered in just the 60 & 65 divisions. Count isn't exact (intentionally) but within a dozen or so with a day still to go, this could well be a record breaker for the Rock 'N Reno event. Your teams make it what it is, congratulations. -------- Maybe that was one of the 'voices' I heard in Area 51... I doubt it though. |
May 11, 2012 Olden Slow Men's 75 207 posts | Basehawgs 60 AA from Cali will be there.. |
May 11, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | OldNslow (shortened name), Good team. Is George still doing it? |
May 11, 2012 Olden Slow Men's 75 207 posts | taits. This is my first season with them. Don't know George..Jim Teninty is running them.. |
May 11, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Don't recognize name and may have George mixed with or from another team, Baker Boys. Mike Adams ran it at one time. Been a long time though. |
May 12, 2012 armiho211 Men's 70 449 posts | DALLAS SPURS 60-AAA will be there. ended up in 4th place after the smoke cleared. we lost the first bracket game, won 7 games in a row in the loser's bracket, then we were knocked out by our compadres from austin TANEL 360. it was a fantastic tournament, . the weather wasnt too bad, 30's and 40's in the early mornng games. good luck to all teams attending. |
May 12, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | The Spartans AA 65 team is also on the list bet there was a name change it seems according to the list posted on teams attending. Didn't quite break any record for attendance nor reach last years total team count, but still very good. Those brackets less than full, are likely due to those needing to work and or the expense it will cause them. I can relate to the latter. Still have the weekend to enter it. I believe too many wait to see the complete list as shown to get a pretty good idea who they might will be matched up against. It should be fairly easy to do too reading the ratings. The trouble occurs imo, when you end up playing out of age\ratings when you entered. In checking some teams I've played with in the past, I noticed many haven't been rated for years and some very recently. Should be an excellent venue. Stay healthy. Looking forward to meeting many new and players from before. |
May 12, 2012 armiho211 Men's 70 449 posts | OOPS ! om my above post, i was referring to last year. didnt proof read. |
May 15, 2012 doker Men's 60 185 posts | HEY TAITS ...YES WUD BE GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN....TRYING TO GET KENNY TO COME....I WILL ALSO BE WITH HILL CONTRACTING IN 65'S AS WILL TERRY,AND BOB............SEE YA NEXT WEEKEND...DOKER |
May 15, 2012 surf88 Men's 65 1000 posts | It could be cold in Reno (hope not). I have Vectors, awesome cold temperature bats. Need/want one, call me. Limited inventory. Ed Andrews (970) 728-3144/729-3145 |
May 15, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Doak, Who knows, we may play against each other as well. I think Kenny is in same boat as I am, boat is leaking with big holes in it. That would really be a de ja vue. |
May 15, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Surf88, Reno cold, this time of year, I doubt it. Did you find a team? |
May 15, 2012 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | taits, Reno CAN be cold (although not normally—the wind is usually more a problem than heat). But just last year, I was standing on third base at Golden Eagle, ready to dash home on the next hit, in my shorts and short sleeve uniform and it started to sleet!! I thought to myself: "What am I doing dressed like this in the middle of snow flurries?!" It didn't last long, but it was cold! But the next day was pleasant. |
May 15, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | WIND oh yea. Rain on occasion but have not been so cold I wouldn't want to use a good bat. Who you playing with Omar, or find me. |
May 15, 2012 B.K. 49 posts | We have been going there for ten years. Usually hot, BUT last year it was windy and snowed on Friday for 55majors.. |
May 16, 2012 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | taits, I'll try to look you up if we're at the same complex in Reno. Animals 65, right? |
May 16, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Omar, That is correct. Will look forward to it. |
May 16, 2012 Capt Kirk 541 posts | My wife and I are ready for Reno, she will be playing for the Santa Cruz Blues Breakers and I will be playing for Hill Contracting. Looks like the waather will be in the 70's and sunny, much better than last year. Capt |
May 16, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Capt Kirk, I hope to meet you also w\ a good chance given for it, given same age & ratings. |
May 17, 2012 Capt Kirk 541 posts | Taits, what team are you playing forand where are you from? Hope to see you in Reno, will be there on Friday, May 25th, the wife is playing on a 60's team. Capt |
May 17, 2012 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Capt, Animals 65 team. At 14 teams in the division a game could be in order between us. Depends on the breakdown made. Won't be there until that Mon some time, Best of luck to the SCBB team. |
