Dec. 27, 2022 Jay Cas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thank you, SSUSA Well said Webbie, If you have never organized, setup, ran, controlled and/or updated a tournament, you don't know what you are missing. I agree that it takes time to coordinate everything and I think Senior Softball is doing one heck of a job. Dave keeps the questions on the board answered in a very timely manner. You are never going to get a perfect tournament. Hell the Professional sports has professionals running their organizations and they get it wrong every day. No complaints by me at least not yet.

Aug. 7, 2020 Jay Cas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas I totally agree and hopefully all of us practice being safe in future tournaments including myself. |
Aug. 7, 2020 Jay Cas | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds I don't understand why you all don't plan to disclose when people need to make decisions on travel. The sooner the better for players and teams. Vegas isn't like other tournament if you live in the Midwest. There is no drive for us all flying. The sooner the better would be great. |
Aug. 7, 2020 Jay Cas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas I don't think it's about babysitting. In that case, everyone should follow the CDC guidance and we could control the spread of the COVID19 but when you are running a business that affects people and you want your facility to remain open, the rules should be enforced. |
Aug. 7, 2020 Jay Cas | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas We played in the ISA World in Columbus,IN last weekend also. The ISA Director sent out strict requirements that should have been enforced last weekend. They were not enforcing the rules such as the catcher must wear a mask, teams should not shake hands at the end of games, teams should wear a mask when not playing games and everyone should social distance when not on the field. None of these things were enforced. Going forward if the tournament directors don't enforce these rules; I can see some cities shutting down more tournaments in the future. |

Oct. 17, 2019 Jay Cas | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Two Umpires make opposite call on same play From a umpire standpoint, I must first say that the homeplate umpire did not screw this up. Generally the home plate umpire especially in NSA makes the call on all catches unless the base umpire turns his back to the infield and in that case it becomes his call. I am not sure about the Senior Softball rulebook because I can't find the case book under a two or three man umpire system. It depends on the governing body. I umpire NSA and ASA (USA) Softball. Both umpires should have got together and made the correct decision and explained to the coaches who made the call and who should have made the call. Either way a team was going to be disappointed. Coaches and players forget one thing, you can always appeal the play by paying $75 and interpretation of the rule. |
Oct. 7, 2019 Jay Cas | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Is it a double play Technically, The tournament directors or UIC should not be getting involved. Once the ruling was made on the field. The coach of the team on offense should have protested the play for an interpretation of the rules so that it can be clearly explained. The coach could have then showed the umpire and the director the rulebook. |
Sept. 23, 2019 Jay Cas | Topic: Bats Discussion: AT18 bat for 2020 from Worth Alan, I'll be a tester for the Worth AT-18. I just asked one of my friends if he has heard of the AT-18 and he said he use to swing the Wicked. |
Sept. 20, 2019 Jay Cas | Topic: Bats Discussion: AT18 bat for 2020 from Worth This is my second year of Senior Softball and I have not seen many Worth Bats swung by many people. I was away from the game for a while. I was a Die-Hard Worth guy just haven't swung it much since I've played senior ball. I will definitely test out the AT 18 when it come out. What is the actual release date? |
Sept. 19, 2019 Jay Cas | Topic: Bats Discussion: AT18 bat for 2020 from Worth I've noticed over the years the Worth Bat has decreased in popularity not sure about the performance because I haven't swung one lately. So can this new Worth Bat compete with the Dudley, Miken, and Addidas? I actually swing the Easton Empire but I might look into this Worth bat. Foot |
