April 3, 2026 GMCinCOS	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: TOC POLK @LBC - not to speak for him but I think he's asking about Jan 2027. At the top of the current tournament list there is a link title "Teams currently qualified for TOC 2027". If you click the link (https://seniorsoftball.com/?page=30) it takes you to a page titled "Teams currently qualified for TOC 2027" but all the data on the page is for the 2026 TOC event earlier this year.
Feb. 24, 2026 GMCinCOS	Topic: Bats Discussion: Balanced bat You'll likely get a diff opinion from everyone who replies, my recommendation would be the Miken Mike Dill bat. I see it listed for $150 on Smash It Sports today, if you like a 26oz.

Dec. 10, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: New video rule Regarding §3.11 (New) • VIDEO TECHNOLOGY– Due to advances in video technology and the affordable cost of such equipment, more and more teams are deploying those devices. A proposal was made to prohibit use of video broadcasting or recording devices, including still cameras, within the confines of the playing field. EXCEPTION: Personnel approved by SSUSA to use such equipment on the field • PASSED: 12-0-0 Are the words “within the confines of the playing field “ the key here? Still ok to hang a camera outside the fence and broadcast on Facebook/youtube/erc ?
Nov. 13, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Atta boys what the expectation going forward, will this be used for all SSUSA tournaments or just some? can you share the plan?
Oct. 23, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Purposeful Stalling maybe even 0 pitches, if the pitcher comes set and you cross the plate before he even delivers the ball. but i digress...
Oct. 23, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Purposeful Stalling using 6 pitches is the long way to do it. could have been done in 3 :-) 7.3 • BATTING POSITION C. The batter shall not step directly in front of the catcher to the other batter's box while the pitcher is in position to pitch. EFFECT: The ball is dead, the batter is out and the runners may not advance
Sept. 16, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Balls being used in Vegas @Dan4 - i'm not the ball police but someone is.. just be careful. from the tournament email: Balls: Managers will receive 6 Baden Fire balls when they check in. ONLY BALLS DISTRIBUTED AND SOLD AT THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE ALLOWED. Players or teams can buy balls for $20 for 3, $40 for 6, etc. We are not selling single balls.
Sept. 3, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Website comments Discussion: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025 • Tentative Team Lists by Age/Division @Scotty73, it is posted now https://www.seniorsoftball.com/wc/wc2025/SSWC-25-TeamsList-S4.pdf
Aug. 29, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Website comments Discussion: WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025 • Tentative Team Lists by Age/Division Just a guess but i'd say it was because the deadline for 50's men registration is Sept 2 and they haven't closed it out yet.
Aug. 27, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA and Southwest airlines @gott2play - that's my backup plan. I was hoping to maintain a-list status in 2026 but didn't get enough flights this year. The good news is, you just have to have a SWA visa to get the 1 free bag, you don't actually have to use it to book the trip. Customer support mentioned it takes 14 days to recognize you as a card holder so anyone getting one need to do so in advance of their flight. $69 is the lowest fee, i think they have a couple options for more $$. But if you check a bag twice you are saving $$ with the card rather than paying bag fees.
Aug. 26, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA and Southwest airlines Hey CW - on the individual tournament pages you'll see info.

Aug. 21, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: SSUSA and Southwest airlines SSUSA - the discount program with SWA is a nice perk. Any chance you can renegotiate and get a coupon code for 1 free checked bag?
Aug. 20, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Giving runs to another team @madman50 - did you win?
July 28, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Player regions According to the rules, yes, with some exceptions. check page 64 & 65 https://seniorsoftball.com/wc/wc2023/SSUSA-Rulebook-2023-Web.pdf
July 11, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SLC Schedule Thanks for the quick fix. Looking forward to the tournament next weekend.
July 10, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: SLC Schedule Hi, reviewing the recently published schedule for SLC. In the 55/60 Gold schedule it looks like you have 2 vs 5 playing twice (Friday 1 PM and Saturday 10 AM) and 3 vs 6 playing twice (Friday 1 PM and Saturday 10 AM). Is this intended in the pool play round to play same teams twice? it shows this way on the schedule and master grid. Thanks
June 5, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Uniform Rule on the Line Up Card I was at a tournament earlier this year and 2 players on a team had same number, but the jerseys were distinctly differently. Ump said it was OK because it was easy to see the difference of their shirts.
May 26, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Salt Lake City schedule I saw that they did have 8 but still had me wondering. We just came back from Raleigh, they had 9 fields going and they split the 65 & over to a separate session. I think we had 8 fields in KS last month and also split sessions. I'm fairly new to tournaments and always noticed 2 session, at least where I played. Regardless, I'll be in SLC, and looking forward to it.
May 26, 2025 GMCinCOS	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Salt Lake City schedule Hi, just double checking whether the posted schedule for SLC in July is correct? It looks like all divisions are playing Fri - Sun rather than having 65 and over during the week. If this is right, should we expect evening games and perhaps a late Sunday finish if we're fortunate enough to make it all the way? TIA.
