| April 16, 2025 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Infield fly rule The ball is truly and really the ONLY determinate. The "Ordinary Effort" is on the UMPIRE. Just Call "INFIELD FLY" when it fits the rule as written. |

| Dec. 15, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Definition Please Just Read that Dudley has developed 2 new Senior model bats. The JohnO28 and the Mason’s Grandpa Bats. Still in development is the DBLB32. These will all have internal Bat Warmers with a switch on the knob that’s Linked to the National Weather Service which doesn’t work unless it’s 65 degrees or less after 8:00 am. Bats are Guaranteed safe,not to break and to pass Compression testing. These will not be available in ASA/USA models. Also in development is the NOTDAVE2000 Ball Warmer along with the WINDEX self-cleaning 44/375 Softball. All should be available soon (upon SSUSA approval). STAY TUNED! The caveat is that to Purchase you must sign the “Too Much Time on my hands” Waiver agreeing not post the same argument 30 different ways on the (SSUSA)Senior Softball website. |
| Nov. 29, 2024 titanhd | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: You make the call I think the only OUT is the out of Order batter. 1 out. All runners return to their base (1st and 3rd). Correct hitter is at bat. IMO |
| Sept. 19, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Rating and dates that changes are made. A Team Rating can be changed by SSUSA at ANY time during the Season. |
| Sept. 17, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas 60 Major Tournament Which Team wom 60 M Plus? Thanks |
| Sept. 14, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Border States rule Thanks Dave. Per noted rule (1.35) Our situation was handled to the letter of the noted Rule. Final question: Player being out of Region and NOT on Teams Roster would the same rule be applied? |
| Sept. 13, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Border States rule Recently played in another Association Tourney.One player was noted as Playing for a Team that did not touch his Home State and not a "Snow Bird".While the game was in progress Team A protested and it was confirmed Player was in violation. My question is What should be or what is the(SSUSA)immediate penalty to the violating Team /Player in this situation. |
| Sept. 12, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Border States rule What is the "in game" penalty for a Team protested and found to have and using an out of Boundary Player? |
| Sept. 5, 2024 titanhd | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thank You Terry Hennessey for the Bat Testing Article Still no reason to confiscate the Bat. Mark it with an "X". Can't be used DONE! Taking it and sending it ANYWHERE is just redundant if bat is disqualified and Marked with "X" or some other indicator. |
| Aug. 12, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Bats Discussion: failed bats I agree with most of the saftey concerns.My issue is if a bat failsa SSUSA compression test. Mark or identify the bat as "FAILED" and move on. No need to send the bat for testing. The bat failed.Cant be used in SSUSA play. COMPRESSION being the pass/fail criteria. CAN"T use-DON'T use!!! Testing won't make it better or usable if it has already failed COMPRESSION.(Per SSUSA). |

| May 23, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Back Foot in Front of the Mat (NV and BLD) Why not use chalk to make the box the correct size on the turf Complexes? Chalk rinses away with water when we're (SSUSA) finished. No permanent harm to the turf. |
| May 7, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Bats Discussion: Bat standards A bat that does not pass Compession test does not mean you're "swinging dirty" and or that the bat is altered. I grant the fact that Shaving is an issue and I don't know the answer but,Compression testing isn't it. Most broken in well used Senior bats will fail compression.There is no way to "break a bat in,"get to a certain Compression point stop and the bat will stay at that Compression.With every swing we're "altering compression". Rules are Rules but, what we are being told is to not "break in" your bat(s).In the eyes of SSUSA Doing so is "alterting" and making the bats illegal use. Bats being confiscated because they fail Compression is a long line of Players bats. Again . I don't know the answer and Kudos to SSUSA for addressing the problem but the solution and the Standard is not Bat Compression Testing. |
| April 24, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batting Box rule change Left handed player called out correctly, entirely within the box Is this batters Box rule only an SSUSA rule or does it apply to all other associations as well? |
| March 22, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Music City results Tim ?? Please clarify rule on "50 Plat Results" Teams must play in the tournament championship game to earn and receive awards, including any berth to the Tournament of Champions or other invitational game or event. If a team declines to play, it will be assessed a forfeit loss and will not be declared a champion. |
| Feb. 15, 2024 titanhd | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batters Box Rule Change Scott Harder. I agree. The ball should have to hit any white portion of the plate. Contrary to popular belief the Black frame outline is not considered part of the Plate nor part of it's measurement. |
