Discussion: Catchers will wear a mask

Don't most catchers stand a few feet in back of the batter anyway? Does anyone squat anymore? Just make it a rule a catcher has to stand 6' back.

You guys got to play a tournament? Consider yourselves fortunate! Governor Dictator won't even let us practice! We do anyway!

We've had the police cruze through the parking lot numerous times and have never stopped either. We even had one come through when were in our circle enjoying a beverage after BP and just waved.

Six feet away from each other and 10 people or less, you should be okay for BP

We have a small group of guys taking BP too, with no problems. BP is an activity that is quite easy to stay 6 feet apart.

That is correct, all about politics, red vs blue! The dictators in Washington (state), Michigan, Oregon, and California need to go. I have heard they are playing games in Arizona, Florida and Georgia.

Discipline yourself not to touch your eyes, nose and mouth if you're using or touching things that others do during a game. Sanitize as often as you feel necessary. Simple.

I don't think you'll see many teams up here in Washington getting on the field anytime soon with our Milk Toast Governor we have to deal with.

Wow, just greats points by OZ and Webbie!

In other words ... "I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer! The future's uncertain and the end is always near!"

Life is too short, let's play ball!

Discussion: Reno

Yes, the hotel prices in Reno have really gone up! Ridiculously high at the Sands ... they must think since they did some renovation, it's okay to gouge the prices! Last year as they had everything torn apart, they doubled the buffet price without improving the quality, which is very low!

One of the age old questions! You'll probably get that answer on May 1st, when the entry fee deadline is. Obviously we hope it's in Sparks!

Really k man? Since the 1 and 1 count was implemented two seasons ago, we have not had 5 games total that have failed to go 7 innings.

Discussion: Why 2-day

Got to agree with one dogg, part of softball is hanging out in the parking lot between and after the day is done with your team and opponents/friends that stop by. Dave does everything for a reason in regard to scheduling and explains it well here on the message board. Playing 4-5 games in one day is not fun!

NCSSA has a great format and would be great for the SSUSA smaller local tournaments of 5-6 teams, which there are many. I'm sure everyone gets kind of tired of playing the same teams over and over again in their area and 3 games on Saturdays and 2 on Sunday is perfect, playing everyone one time. Whoever has the best record wins or if you have to have a championship game, the top 2 seeds play with the #1 seed being the automatic home team. Another thing about this format is that every game counts.

If your desire is to form a "highly competitive team" at the "highest level", wouldn't you want to play higher than AAA?

Discussion: Sandbagging

A possible solution would be to take away the ability of the Major+ teams to pickup players outside their bordering states. Major teams may be more willing to move up knowing that these teams cannot go out and pay players from anywhere (east/west) to play with them while most others cannot afford it.

If not, let the Major+ teams go with "unlimited everything" rules and have 4 team world tournaments like we had back in the day.

In regard to the Western National, I think maybe (don't know the year) that they started to award a spot in the east-west game when the tournament was moved to Sacramento a few years ago. That may have something to do with the better attendance there because the fields in Sacramento are horrible with no concessions. If a #1 or #2 seed is on the line at another venue, there may be just as many teams in the tournament if it was in Reno, Lacey or Aurora which all have much better complexes.

Discussion: 2 different levels in the same bracket in a TOC

Speaking of HR's, if there was a progressive HR rule, there would be no need for anything else. If two teams could bang away, they could and if one team had much less power, they could hang with the more powerful team ... again, HR wise.

Discussion: Playing back to a lower class

The upper team should get to use their homerun rule. Giving up 5 runs while only getting to score 5 runs an inning is enough of a equalizer. This what we do in our non-sanctioned tournaments.
