| March 1, 2014 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SCSSA 1st Annual Wounded Warrior Project Benifit Tournament - Mach 8-9 Hemet, CA Hoping you raise a lot of money for our often ignored hero's. Bill O'Reilly has done a fantastic job bringing attention to, and raising a lot of money our warriors for the purchase of track chairs. A tip of the hat to guys like O'Reilly for helping these guys, a tip of the hat to you also for the part you are doing. |
| Feb. 16, 2014 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: non roster tournaments There were 11 70's of various levels at this one. Sorry New Englanders, it was mid 80's thru Thurs, low 90's on Friday Games plated at Big League Dreams. Good time for sure. |
| Feb. 5, 2014 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: 2000 Freak 98 I was outbid on a used 27oz Freak 98 last week on eBay. Sold for $81 plus shipping fee. |
| Jan. 10, 2014 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: CERTAIN FEES!! Duke, please share with us the breakdown of fee allocation. Is there an excess amount of profit left over because things are so much cheaper in CA? If so, then I think you have an issue. If your team is planning on traveling and is concerned with the $350 budget for entry fees, I'd avoid the following: The Chili Pepper Classic 1st State Spring Classic Milwaukie Classic Heart of Texas Cornbelt Classic CT Masters Games Quad Cities Classic AZ Western States Aggieland Classic Badger classic Labor Day Classic and the Last Chance qualifier. (all these are over $350, with 5 @ $400 and higher) You have the same choice as everyone else, if you don't like or enjoy the tournament, don't support it. If enough of you in SoCal do not support them, I'm confident the tourneys would fold. Thank you for letting us know your thoughts on how Top Gun runs their tournaments. I'd assume you'll give us an update after you play there this weekend on how it was run this year. |

| Dec. 16, 2013 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: Reebok Melee end load question Ed, any truth to the rumors that Reebok is going to pull the plug on bat making, or at least manufacturing of the Melee? Thanks. |
| Dec. 11, 2013 curveball | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Why Not Have A Players Committee Of Real Players To Over See The Rules I know 2 of the guys who were at the latest rule meeting and BOTH are players. |
| Oct. 31, 2013 curveball | Topic: Product review Discussion: Boombah Turf shoes I've worn Reebok Turfs for the past 3 seasons. Love them. Good traction, lasted great length of time, and extremely comfortable. (I have not played a lot of outfield in them, on the dirt 95% of the time.) Have always found them at good prices. Thumbs up! |
| Oct. 31, 2013 curveball | Topic: Associations Discussion: ssusa card You do realize once Sacramento gets your money, their computer print out for any tournament you enter will show that you have paid. Card just keeps you from having to use other I.D., you won't miss any ball without the card. |
| Oct. 17, 2013 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Team pictures action shots from the 2013 World Masters Jack, we ordered 14 8 X 10 photo's off the team championship page, waiting for individual photo's to be posted, will be ordering more. Thanks, great job, Stark Street Pizza 70 Major. |
| Oct. 11, 2013 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires If that be the case, it's another example of not being able to please everyone. By using the current format, those in very small divisions get the most teams possible; seems better than 2 out of 3 with the same team again! Are you suggesting teams have to play in more tournaments than just a qualifier? Perhaps like the ASA system of old. As far as negative responses, looks like very few for the amount of games 480 teams play. Most people won't take the time for a positive comment, the angry person will for need of venting or future correcting. But, if you look at individual complaints, not that many from approx. 6750 players(15 per team). If SSUSA wasn't working on growing problems, or trying to make the tournament better each year, I think then we should yell in mass. At present, that is not the case. |
| Oct. 11, 2013 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires Sparky, as a many decade sponsor, I kind of understand some of your points thru your eyes. But, as far as the best teams came to Vegas, I looked thru the age groups and in my mind, I just don't see any of the national power house teams missing. It appears to me the best in the country were here to compete for the World Championship. I think most consider it THEE tournament to win. Please give me a few of the teams you feel were World Champion material that were missing from the teams entered list. |
| Oct. 10, 2013 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires Graphite, stay home and play against who? How many potential World Champions do you have in your town? The best were here in Vegas. |
| Oct. 10, 2013 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: sick players at Sunset Park mad dog, I hope you aren't getting it. Wife had it coming out both ends, wasn't fun for her for sure. Hope you're doing well in St. George, weather looked iffy this morning. Hit em' long and deep Bob. |
| Oct. 9, 2013 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: sick players at Sunset Park As Lecak wrote, my wife had the same problem about 10 days ago, we live in Vegas, and she hasn't been to a softball game or a softball complex in several years. |
| Oct. 3, 2013 curveball | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: vegas I was told Ruth Realty was the winners bracket survivor waiting to see who they would play. 70 Major was Stark Street Pizza over Scrap Iron, and T-N-T won the 75 AA division. Both Stark Street Pizza and T-N-T are local Vegas teams. |
| Oct. 3, 2013 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires Played for the last week at Shadow Rock and BLD. Fields were adequate, umpiring was good to very good, no problems. Early morning games made it a challenge for both teams, depending on where the sun was; but, that happens in all tourneys. We had the same situation last time in Hemet. Sun issues are part of the game. |

| Aug. 30, 2013 curveball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Masters Las Vegas It would help if we knew what states you are a legal player for. |
