| June 5, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sadness Doug, I understand your questions about team ratings and appreciate your opinion on where the team in question should be rated. With respect to the player addition on game day I can assure you that the office was contacted, and approval was granted on Friday morning BEFORE first pitch. He didn't play until Saturday but he was absolutely added before the team began play (on Friday). If necessary, I am willing to post my call logs showing as much. You've known me for well over a decade and also know what kind of effort I've put forth to build the program. I wouldn't jeopardize it or my livelihood for any player or any team. Tim McElroy |

| May 22, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament Updates If you are referring to the A.C.C. in Raleigh, the schedule was written, them re-written 2 additional times due to rain. We were working to communicate with teams on-site while also keeping an eye on the next storm on the radar. Full, detailed results for the weekend are already posted to the tournament page though. |
| May 19, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: A.C.C. RAIN DELAY ON FRIDAY 7:15am update- Fields are very wet after overnight rainfall. Park gates will not open until 3pm Here are the revised times for the FR0NT WHEEL (Fields 1-5) Original time > Revised time 8:30am = 4:00pm 10:00am = 5:00pm 11:30am = 6:00pm 100pm = 7:00pm 230pm = 8:00pm 400pm = 9:00pm Here are the revised times for the BACK WHEEL (Fields 6-9) Original time > Revised time 10:00am = 4:00pm 11:30am = 5:00pm 1:00pm = 6:00pm 2:30pm = 7:00pm Managers are receiving calls & messages from tournament staff this morning. Shortened games on Friday to get back on time (full games) on Saturday. Thanks- Tim |
| May 16, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Don Brooks / Crabtown Classic Managers in the 65, 70 & 75s division received an email today confirming that their games will be played at the Bachman Sports Complex. I expect to release the S1 schedule in a day or two. Session 2 (Men 55-60) teams will get their field assignments shortly. Session 3 (Men & Women 40-50) will follow shortly thereafter. I'm waiting on some team ratings decisions. Tim |
| May 12, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Don Brooks / Crabtown Classic Registration for the Don Brooks Crabtown Classic closes over the weekend. The team list has been activated https://seniorsoftball.com/?event=1889 If your team name isn't appearing there (but should be) please have your coach reach out via email- tim@seniorsoftball.com The sooner I get the list finalized, the sooner I can determine who is playing where. |
| May 1, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Don Brooks Crabtown Classic June 3-5 VERY IMPORTANT- If your team is entering this tournament, DO NOT DELAY because it will sell out. Send an email to TIM@SENIORSOFTBALL.COM to confirm your intent to play. Follow up with payment. Teams are not officially entered until their payment is received. Paying at the park, or after the deadline is not an option. If your team previously contacted me about playing it's a good idea for the manager to reach out again. Confirm that I've got you on the list and confirm that I've received your payment. Thank you- Tim |
| May 1, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Don Brooks Crabtown Classic June 3-5 Hello All, Same deal as the past few years. Entries are coming in and we're on track for another tournament record. That means we'll be using the complexes in Glen Burnie AND Westminster. I understand that most teams would prefer to play at the Bachman complex, BUT- AA County doesn't allow us to begin play before 9am on weekdays and does require us to be off the fields by 5pm for league ball field prep. << for that reason, we're a bit hamstrung on who can and can't play there. Team entries by age / skill rating determine who plays where. HOTEL BOOKINGS- We STRONGLY, STRONGLY encourage teams to book hotels in the Owings Mills area because that's a nice midpoint. |

| April 21, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: You make the call I was the Director at BLD last week. Never heard a thing about any of this. You should address any concerns in real time, at the park. There isn't much that I can do to help days later on a message board. |
| April 21, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Wayne Gilmore Memorial Update for SATURDAY Managers, There is a high probability of rain on SAT afternoon. We are accelerating start times and asking teams to be at the park early so that we can get ahead of the rain. All managers scheduled to begin play on SAT received a text from me this morning confirming their 1st game time. All managers in the 55-60 divisions that began play today (FRI) should check the bracket boards to confirm their revised SAT start times. At this time, NO CHANGES have been made to the Sunday schedule. We'll let Saturday's weather hit (or not hit) determine what happens the following day. Thanks- Tim McElroy |
| April 6, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Tournament entries (Tim hosted events) Managers in the east- The tournaments that I offer sell out, and do so in advance. Case in point, the Wayne Gilmore Memorial has 50 teams entered and another 10 on the waiting list. My upcoming events in MD and FL are trending that way, too. I don't like turning teams away but space is limited. Here are a few tips for getting in- DO: 1) Email me well in advance ( Tim@SeniorSoftball.com ) 2) Send pmt early and include a reference to your team, age group and the name of the tournament you want to participate in. DO NOT: 1) Wait until the last minute to get in. 2) Send me a text message, ping me on social because I don't check those outlets on a daily basis. 3) Send a check in the mail without notifying me. Mail service where I live is terribly slow. I also travel a fair amount so the mailbox isn't checked daily. 4) Send electronic payment without also emailing me. Thank you- Tim |
| April 3, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tidewater Classic- Virginia Beach I sent the tournament results to SSUSA this morning so they should be posted to the site once the staff reaches the office and takes care of Monday morning priorities. In the meantime, here are your top finishers from Virginia Beach. Having worked in Florida (2x) and now in Virginia in the past few weeks, it's clear that there are some solid teams in the east this year- I'm looking forward to this season. 70 Major Northern VA Force 70s (TOC) Syracuse Cyclones 70 65 Major Talaga Construction (TOC) Promotion / Phoenix Tube 65 AAA Hudson Valley Cyclones (TOC) The Starboard Northern VA Force 65s 55-60 AA DHF Contractors 60 (TOC) Longshoremen 55 NY Capitals 60 60 Major Building Innovations Group (TOC) The Bank Carolina A's 60 AAA Northern VA Force 60s (TOC) Turn 2 Electric Hudson Valley Cyclones 55 Major .50 Cor Sports (TOC) Bond 124 / Caterbone Realty N.E.

| March 23, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Verbal Interference I suspect that this is the imp9rtant rules issue you wanted to talk about it over the phone. Here's my general feeling- Interference is a judgement call, so your interpretation of a play may be different than mine, the umpire, or a fellow director. I appreciate our conversations but have to be honest- yelling "Boot" hoping to get somebody to misplay a ball is BUSH LEAGUE. Yelling "Boot" to highlight the fact that someone has already misplayed a ball is POOR SPORTSMANSHIP. |
| March 23, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tidewater Tournament is come up SGW-- I am now writing the scheduled for Tidewater. It will be posted as soon as it's done, which should be this afternoon. I'd suggest that you re-read my last post on this thread and act accordingly. "Everyone should expect to play reasonably early that day." |
| March 21, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Tidewater Tournament is come up SGW- You may or may not have seen the other thread regarding the St. George washout today. The guy tasked with writing the Tidewater schedule is bogged down this morning re-writing the revised St. George schedule. Those folks are on site now, and are a higher priority "fix" than the Tidewater. He'll get to us in due time. As a scheduler myself, I see 46-48 teams playing on 8 diamonds next Friday. We generally don't play on Friday evening due to local league conflicts so everyone should expect to play reasonably early that day. Tim |
| March 14, 2023 TimMcElroy | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Music City lb16- revised schedules are already posted to the tourney page for FL and TN. Since you mentioned weather, I will take this opportunity to remind folks that SSUSA doesn't cancel based on forecast. All weather related decisions are made at the field, at game time. |
