| Aug. 3, 2014 armiho211 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: QUESTION FOR SSUSA STAFF ON RULE 14,2 (4)- C AGE GROUP 75 RULE QUESTION : WHY SUCH A DRASTIC CHANGE ON THE 75 AGE GROUP " C " RULE FROM 2014 TO 2015. I could see changing 5 players age 74 down to 2 or 3 , but not doing away with all 5 PLAYERS FOR 2015. JUST ASKING. RULE: 14.2(4) • AGE ELIGIBILITY AND GROUPING B. For the 2014 season, men's 80+ age division teams may draw seven players aged 78 or 79; including not more than three 78 year olds. (EXAMPLE: 80+ teams may have four players aged 79 and three aged 78). For the 2015 season, men's 80+ age division teams may draw three players aged 79. For the 2016 season and thereafter, men's 80+ age division teams must be comprised only of players aged 80 or older. C. For the 2014 season, men's 75+ age division teams may draw five players one year younger than the minimum age. (EXAMPLE: 75+ teams may have five players aged 74). For the 2015 season and thereafter, men's 75+ age division teams must be comprised only of players aged 75 or older. |
| July 29, 2014 armiho211 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: RENTAL CAR PRICES FOR WORLDS 9/28-10/2 It appears vehicle rental prices are rather high at this time. QUESTION: would it be feasible for all of the players who intend to rent a car, post on here if they get a great price on a car in the next few weeks? AT THIS TIME, it appears that e-z car rental and somebody called firefly has the cheaper rates. I am not familiar with these 2 rental companies. any experience ? we ( seniors )need to look out for ourselves and help each other out if any car deals appear in the next few weeks. thanks to all. |

| Feb. 10, 2014 armiho211 | Topic: Bats Discussion: What's the best bat for open tournaments? i have played senior softball for about 13-14 yrs. i have fallen for the hype on new bats every year. i have bought a few based on the hype, and they are decent bats for senior softball. however, i started with the ultra 2 when it first came out, and have noticed that most new bats are always compared to the ultra 2. the problem with the ultra 2 is the durability issue. i have broken 10-12 since i have been playing, eventually it has soaked in that once you feel the ultra 2 is broken in, you only used it during tournaments. i have approx 10-13 bats hanging in the garage that i use ocassionally, IE: YELLOW COMBAT, AMBUSH, MIKEN 2 PIECE BALANCED, CENTENARIAN, REEBOK BALANCED, PLUS A FEW MISC OLD BATS. while these are all good bats, they do not have the consistency of the ultra 2 . i dont have the greatest eye for hitting the ball, most good hitters say , " hit the bottom part of the ball to create the spin ". my eyesight is not that good anymore, i just want to make good contact and see what happens. my .02c ( good or bad ! ) |
| Dec. 29, 2013 armiho211 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: face masks MAD DOG- with the thick bushy beard you have, you dont need a face mask. it's tough enough to deflect a 100 mph come-backer..... hi bob, hope you had a merry xmas with family and friends. see ya down the road. |
| Dec. 28, 2013 armiho211 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Prayers for Roger "Doc" Clay very sorry to hear about doc's passing. condolences to family and friends. doc was a great hitter and softball player in the dallas area...
