| Dec. 2, 2020 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: TOC I realize adjustments had to be made due to the virus. In my opinion, one good thing that came out of it was having all winners of SSUSA tourneys qualify for the TOC. Why not make that a permanent move? If all sanctioned tourneys were qualifiers, maybe we'd get more than 5-6 teams per age group in Lakeland in January. How about putting it to a vote this winter? |
| Sept. 6, 2020 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: World championships options Thx for the info. I'm sure our coach will be calling soon. We have no major+ players on our roster. Not looking to destroy anyone. We'll be average in both tournies. But, you bring up a good point we hadn't considered. Could we then pick up 3 of our 50 major players whose team is not playing in that tourney this year? |
| Sept. 6, 2020 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: World championships options With the 50's tourney moved to the end of October and in the Phoenix area, could a 55 major team play in their division in St. George and then 6 weeks later, play in the 50 AAA? My team might consider this a fun end of year wrap up if we're allowed to do it. Thx for any info I can get on this. |
| Oct. 27, 2019 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Legal roster? Thx for the advice. I didn't realize that a player had to play 2 yrs at a level to be considered at the new level. Apparently along with other factors. To answer Murray's question, most of the guys were together a few years ago on a below average 50 major team. The 55+ guys were clearly overmatched. Most of them are closing in on 60 actually. That was the reason for our split originally. Plus the 3 new guys are clearly AAA talents. Just thought we could all, legally play together at the AAA level, at least be competitive while not dominating and not get anyone killed. Thx again and I'll look into our options. |
| Oct. 25, 2019 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Legal roster? 4 guys that played 55 major last year. 3 guys that played 50 major but will turn 55 by next year. Assume they'll be classed 55 major. 3 guys that are 50 major. 2 guys that have never played senior ball and are just turning 50. And 1 guy that played 50 AAA last year. Question, is this a legal 50 AAA roster? If not, why and how can we fix it to have the most of us play together? Not trying to whine about ratings or sandbag. Just want to play with friends. |
| Feb. 23, 2017 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings question Thanks for the info. and I'll def. call the office if you don't want to answer one more ques. and then you won't hear from me on this topic again. I just want to clarify a part of your reply that I don't fully understand. First, you say all new players come in as AAA. Then, you say that if I play 2 tournies with my team where they go in as a major team, (in a sanctioned SSUSA tourney) then my "player rating exp. history" number will be as a major player for 2 yrs. So, does "major" replace my individual AAA rating at that point then? Again, this won't change who I play with this yr. If I end up being a major player right from the start, that's fine with me. The only way this even comes into play is if it doesn't work out with this yr's team and I have to look for a new team next yr. I imagine that there's some msg board heroes that try to give you guys a hard time about their ratings just like in reg. ball. This isn't that. I'm just trying to understand all my options. Thanks for the info. |
| Feb. 21, 2017 EBAT50 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Ratings question I just turned 50 and am unsure of most of the senior rules. Here's my situation. I committed to a 50+ team last fall for the upcoming season. At the time, they were AAA. They have since been moved to major. To be honest, I don't much care what level I play at. So, the hr or equalizer rules don't matter to me. Just looking to play ball and have fun with a good group of guys. However, I would like to know how this affects my personal rating. If the team this yr. doesn't work out for the future, what rating would I have going forward? I'd imagine that it'd restrict my choices if my rating was also major and I had to look around for another major team or have a AAA use one of their (I'm assuming) limited # of major chips that can be on their team. So, since I wasn't on a roster that qualified to move up to major, do I come in as a AAA player on a major team? Or, am I auto. a major player once I play for this team? Any info. would be appreciated, thanks. |
