| Jan. 6, 2024 wdodge22 | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Tucson Banditos You can't go wrong with Jeff. He is good player, loyal team mate and dependable. When he emailed me the other day I was going to have him message you, but I dont have your email address. Just Hawkins'. I highly recommend JPED1962 as a player and a teammate.

| Jan. 21, 2023 wdodge22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 4 Game or 5 Game Guarantee?? I know I don't speak for all, but I would rather see the larger TOC tournaments stay at 5 GG and pay $75 to $100 more per event. This also makes a 4 day Worlds with 4 GG very unappealing. There is some savings to SSUSA in 4GG, but there might be some hidden costs to players and SSUSA... Under this new scenario, I know that most of my players will book a hotel for Thursday ( if we are playing early Friday ) and Friday nights, and get Saturday night only if we are playing Sunday morning or playing late Saturday afternoon. Those that get AIRBNB will now only book Thursday and Friday because there is a high probability if going 0 and 2 in bracket play under 4 GG, that team would be done by 11:00 or 12:00. 1. Reduced concessions from municipalities due to reduced revenue from food and hotel taxes. 2. Reduced revenue due to lower attendance for certain events 3. Higher hotel rates for the players as the hotels will be getting fewer nights per discount block so they will be less inclined to offer a larger discount. 4. Hotels potentially requiring 2 or 3 night minimum to get the discount This my opinion and some back of the napkin economic analysis, not fact. But it is also some things I have observed in booking conferences for my clients. Bill Dodge Manager California Coast Plumbers/Horn 55 |
| Jan. 17, 2023 wdodge22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 4 Game or 5 Game Guarantee?? 4 Game Guarantee - 2 game pool play, double elimination 5 Game Guarantee - 2 game pool play, 3 game modified double elimination Hope this helps. |
| Nov. 20, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: seeding games Johnny23 As long as the player is on the SSUSA approved roster prior to the first pitch of your first game, you can arrive for Bracket Play and sign in. If you are not on the roster before the first pitch of your first Pool Play game, you can't play. I hope that answers your questions. If you are asking if a TEAM can skip pool play, that is a completely different discussion and subject to the wisdom of Dave Dowell. Bill |
| Nov. 16, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Need Help for Winter Worlds Bob Thank you Unfortunately since we are 55AAA, we cant use you. Your Major Plus tag follows you up to the next age bracket. Best Bill |

| Nov. 14, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Need Help for Winter Worlds Big D 6 and all others. Thank you all for looking out. I got the problem solved about 2 hours ago. Good luck this weekend. Best Bill Dodge |
| Nov. 13, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Need Help for Winter Worlds Due to injury and a work schedule change, I find us in need of an outfielder for Winter Worlds starting Friday and potentially a utility player. If you are available, please email me at hc50ssoftball@gmail.com Best Bill Dodge Manager California Coast Plumbers 55AAA |
| Oct. 26, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2023 team ratings It looks like the auto promotions from Worlds is completed. But I have not seen any down ratings. We went 1 and 4 at Worlds, 0 and 3 in Bracket in 46 team pool... I think we would be close to bottom 5... |

| Oct. 6, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Age breakdowns going forward Hijacking the thread a bit... DD if I cant make it to the Rules Committee meeting, how do I suggest a rule for their consideration? Bill Dodge California Coast Plumbers/Horn 55AAA |
| Aug. 20, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: For Dave Dowell.... BLD Perris charged $8 on the weekend. Friday was $5, and they were very clear to say $8 on the weekend. |
| Aug. 6, 2022 wdodge22 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: East Vs West National Championship Game Knuckleball How it worked for us in 2016 in 50AA. We won 50AA Western Nationals, there was was no opponent for us at Worlds in Las Vegas so we won National Championship by default ( I still have the shirt). However, in Bracket Play we were seeded based on our record. We were told, had we won Vegas Worlds, would have won Triple Crown. I don't know if the rules have changed since then. But this is how it worked. Best of luck in Las Vegas. Bill |
