Ya and the guy that is ran for has to get on base before he's ran for duh. Gary why don't you go play with the 25 year olds they don't use the CR?

Thanks Steve it was sweet.
Gary,I don't like the snowbird rule and a lot of team's used it last week and it puts our local league team at a disadvantage and the way we made up for it was with speed and defense. There was one play in finals of winners bracket with 2 outs and a CR on 1st he beat a force at 2rd with a hard slide and kept the inning going and we scored 3 runs after that.
The guy who made the last out could be a guy that last year had both knee's replaced and the one on 1st needs one but is putting it of till after the season is over. What about our guy that just want to be a CR,his throwing arm is shot and he can not play any more.

Gary, what's wrong with leaving the rule like it is and move on. I didn't like the DH in the American league and still don't but got over it years ago.

Gary,why don't you just GET off this senior board! Why do you post on here? You like none of the rules,you never have anything good to say about the senior game. I'm just saying what 98% on here are thinking!!
The CR is needed in senior ball and will always be in our great game,get over it. Our Jim & Joe's team just won the SSUSA 60M,we don't have a lot of power but a lot of team speed and use the CR more than any of the other teams we played. We have one Rabbit that only wants to run and he can fly,and he runs every inning. Our LC fielder is 66 still playing 60's and if he leads the inning of with a double then I may put a CR in for him to keep him from wearing down and he is one of the fast's guys on our team. This rule helps keep players with bad knee's or what ever in the game and in our case helps our league team with no snowbird's to compete with the HR hitting teams.

I understand the shockwaves we won ISA world a few years ago in St Louis had 5 teams 2 were aaa and spend half the following year in M+. I feel your pain, you all have a very good Major team but probably like us don't have the payroll to go against the M+ teams. I would like to see this Tourney do good being its so close hope your team comes.
Staff why not poll the other 60M teams that have played the KC Kids this year and get their say on this mid season move-up ?

Discussion: Dalton predictions : Whose yours?

I have been saying for years on here to do away with the 55 age group in M+ and go to age 50-57 and 58-64. Someone tell why this would not work and get more teams in these Tourney's.

Just got info in the mail about this Tourney to be helded in Chattanooga,TN on March 5 & 6th to help celebrate a new comlex. My question for the locals isn't it cold in those mountain's that time of year?

I see the date has been changed to May 7-8. Last week the Brickyard dates were April 30th & May 1st and I thought the Louisville teams would be able to come,now with it being Ky Derby weekend there's no way!

Corky, on the Tourney schedule the Midwest is listed for Shawnee,KS and Northern Championships in Lansing,MI. Your locations are a lot better for us, where are you getting your info?

Discussion: Call at 1st base

The rule states runner must touch outside bag if there is a play on him, so in this case runner should be able to touch either base and be safe because fielder did not throw ball to 1st. that's the way I read the rule.

The fact that its a Thur-Sat Tourney is keeping us from going
