| Feb. 27, 2015 curveball | Topic: Women's softball Discussion: Back up pitcher 65+ needed What level? What rated player can you use? |
| Feb. 26, 2015 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: BP Bat????? neck, how much $$$ for the lot of 5 or 6? I'm interested. |
| Feb. 23, 2015 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: Monsta Z-Bra I would have preferred to this directly to Marv19 and hemiracer, but in my old age, can't figure out how to do that on this site. Couldn't find a direct mail option member to member. Got a "white hot" driver! Put Justin Lamb in the Comp car last year for the fall Vegas race, he won the event. Followed up the next weekend with a Division 7 win also at LV. Next time out, yesterday, he won Comp at Crazy Horse (Phoenix). He also has his own Super Stock car; and, is leading the World points after just 2 events. The kid is tough, looks to be a fun year. |
| Feb. 8, 2015 curveball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Lost in Las Vegas Go to Lorenzi Park Tues or Thurs for game at 10 AM. Also same park at 9 AM on Sat BP and there will be a number of guys that can steer you in the right direction for a 50's team. Let us know you if are there to play so we can park at a safe distance.......... |
| Jan. 28, 2015 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: BP Bat????? If you can find an Ultra II Legacy, you'll get 1000's of swings out of it and it swings just like an Ultra II black one. |
| Jan. 8, 2015 curveball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: New to Las Vegas, and looking for a team Come out to Lorenzi Park on Tues or Thurs morning by 10 AM when the league plays. There are reps from most travel teams there that can point you in the right direction. |
| Jan. 7, 2015 curveball | Topic: Bats Discussion: Do you use senior bats in non tournament games/leagues? Las Vegas uses SSUSA rules on bats. There is a pitchers screen though. "The Rock" is the official league ball. |
| Dec. 28, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The TOC Bob, that's another glitch in the dates of the tourneys. There are several other negatives also, enough to warrant getting it fixed. I think they are leaving a lot of money on the table leaving it like it is. There's quite a few more teams would attend given a calendar change I'm thinking...... Homer sends a Happy New Year Bob................... |
| Dec. 28, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The TOC Pitcher and 1974, you are both correct!!! My reply made as much sense and was as logical as the current scheduling of these two tournaments in the 1st place. My answer was "tongue in cheek", intended to poke fun at an annual problem in our softball community. It falls on a "selective hearing" group. We faced the situation several times. Dropped players, added new guys, played in a qualifier plus 2-3 local tourneys; then, had to try to re-assemble last years team (who have gone on to join other teams) and tell the new guys they weren't part of this group! Not enough players now, so, try to find players from an older division or ones from a lower rating to fill in. This ends up not the same team that qualified, and to me, skirts the intention of having a Tournament of Champions in the 1st place The way TOC is scheduled with the Winter events just isn't a smooth venue for the teams qualifying. This subject has come up several years now. There doesn't seem to be any effort to correct it, for whatever reason. Put the TOC at the end of same calendar year you qualify in. Move the Winter events to the winter, same date as the current TOC if need be for contractual obligations. Sure would save a bunch of hassle. |
| Dec. 27, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: The TOC It's so that SSUSA can automatically move up a newly crowned champion to the next higher division, then be able to lower them back to where they were before winning the World's, and then after the TOC 60-70 days later, be able to move them back to the elevated status earned with the World's. Also, SSUSA does this as a test to see how many teams can get their last years team back together for one last tourney. Having at the end of the season would be too easy and not complicated enough for managers. |
| Dec. 27, 2014 curveball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: ready 2 play Go to Lorenzi Park to the LVSSA league games. Mike Hula is looking for 60 AAA players. The guys there should be able to hook you up. The majority of Vegas teams have reps playing there @ 10 AM on Tues and Thurs. |
| Dec. 25, 2014 curveball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: ready 2 play What age? What position? What level? Answers to these will help you find a team. |
| Dec. 21, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Automatic Move Ups LOL I had no worries Andy. Just curious why a re-rating Dec. 5, 2014 after a team won the Worlds. Thought there may be a loophole. Questions answered. |
| Dec. 21, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Automatic Move Ups If the Worlds Championships in Vagas are an automatic move up for the champion, I'm curious why Vacar (70+ Major Champ) hasn't moved up in the 70's to Major+. |
| Dec. 4, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rules meeting? Just curious, how was attendance at the Public Session yesterday? Concerned players traveling in from all parts of our country I'll bet..............not. Who's brilliant idea was it to hold a national meeting at that geographic location? Tupelo??? Not an easy commute. |
| Dec. 2, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Balls Not unless they are moving the SW's which are played in Vegas under LVSSA/SSUSA. |
| Dec. 2, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Rules meeting? Going on as we speak. |
| Dec. 2, 2014 curveball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Balls SSUSA uses the Rock at the SW's and the World Championships both played in Vegas. All other tournaments the Stote is the official game ball. (Texas and Florida Half Century Balls are also legal for tournaments other than the Vegas tournaments. Described by Sacramento as a Stote with a different cover) |
