| Nov. 24, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments One last thing is i want to compliment the people who put on all these tournaments from the staff at senior softball to the umpires ect. I realize this is a very tough job trying to make people happy and listening to all are complaints but there is not a better organization that i would want to belong to. Lets all have a safe thanksgiving and a very happy new year. And to terry again i am very sorry on your loss and i feel you do a great job. |
| Nov. 24, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments Thank you very much for your response, i am very sorry to hear about the director and my heart goes out to him. I was only trying to make some sugestion and i myself am avaiable to volunteer my time to make senior softball a better and funners experience. Again i am sorry to hear about the director. I am again sorry if i offended anybody. Please accept my apology. This is a great game and i look forward to playing and if i can be of help let me know. |
| Nov. 24, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments Your right this is my first year and i didn't realize it was a money making organ. I am only trying to help, but won't do that again. |
| Nov. 24, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments You people are right i am sooooo sorry for trying to suggest some ideas that i feel are important. Again i am sorry. |
| Nov. 24, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments You guys who say well i have been coaching 25 years and this is what ever and people who say hey you want us to hold your hand. Those people don't mean crap to me i don't give a s....t how many years or what you think of people holding your hand ect. I made sugessted some good things and if all you have to do is critize people then take your years and you know what. I haven't heard you guys say one thing to help people who trave thousands of miles to play and a little bit of information is going to break you. You can sit on this web site for another 25 years and be happy. |
| Nov. 24, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments Yu think your funny but your not, I hope you never have to have medical attention. People like you make a hell of alot of sense trying to put it on the players. Since you spend so much time on this web site maybe you can donate your time. All you want to do is avoid the obvious. This message is not for you its for the players who are concerned about their health instead of just running their mouth. |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter Worlds, Las Vegas I totally agree, draging the feilds wasn't done at all. The out feild was an ankle breaker. Some people don't realize how fas the ball comes off the bat. The nite time it was a suscide feild you could see the ball until it got to you. But the people running the tournament never had to experience that so they don't realize it. The should have the paramedics in the parking lot, ready to roll. Its sucks when you go out to injoy softball and come home beat to hell. lol |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments No room in my bag. lol This is not a knock on anyone just sugestion for emergncy situations and bringing a little more excitment to the host hotel by posting brackets and scores and seriously just to get to a hospital when you need to. I thank the people who got the bleeding stoped and had a cell phone to call 911. |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments bossBandt: Why are you try'n to turn a positve thing into negative I am sure you have done it all. Maybe you should do a little research befor you toot your horn about coaching for 25 years and always having you first aid kit. All players don't get to the tournament at the same time. |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments Personally i don't care how many years u have managed or how many first aid kits YOU HAVE I WA HIT IN THE TEMPLE WITH BLOOD RUNNING DOWN MY FACE AND WHAT I AM SAYING IS, THI WAS ON THE GROUND FOR OVER A HALF HOUR BEFOR THE DIRECTOR GOT TO THE FEILD AND I WENT UP TO HIM AFTER PARAMETICS CAME AND HE KNEW NOTING ABOUT GOING TO HAVE A N EXRAY HE HAD NO IDEA WHERE A HOSPITAL WAS. i WOULD IMAGINE YOU DO BUT YOU WEREN'T THERE SO THAT;S NO GOOD. aRE CARDS WERE NEVER CHECKED AND THE FEILDS WERE TERRIBLE. wHAT I AM SAYING IS THERE CAN BE A MORE ORGANIZED WAY OF HELPING IN CASES OF EMERGENCY'S AND AS FOR DEFIBULATORS AS U SAY WERE THER THE AMBULANCE SHOWED UP AT THE SAME TIME FOR A PLAYER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HIS HEART.sO YOU WANT TO LET YOUR PITCHER MANAGER GET MAD AND WALK OFF THE FELD LOOKING FOR THE DIRECTOR WASTEING AT LEAST A HALF HOUR TO PROTEST A GAME IN WHICH HE ONLY FROZE HIS OWN TEAM, NOW THAT MAKES SENSE aFTER 25 YEARS MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS NOT TO MENTION A TEAM GOT THE WRONG TIME AND FORFITED ITS FIRST GAME AND NOT TO MENTION A PRRSON DIED IN LA DUE TO NO DEFIBULATOR. YO FIGURE AT ALMOST 500.00 A TEAN AND 150 TEAMS YES WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GO AND GET MAPS AND BRACKET INFO AT THE HOST HOTEL. i AM NOT PUTTING THE BLAME ON THE COACHES OR DIRECTIORS I AM BASICKLY JUST GIVING SUGESTIONS. mAYBE EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY FOR U TO BE SURE THERE IS A FIRST AID KIT OR CALL YOU WHEN THERE ON THE GROUND BLEEDING AND BLACKED OUT. ALSO SOFTBALL IS A RECREATIONAL COMPETIVE SPORT AND WHEN YOUR OUT OF TOWN IT WOULD BE NICE TO TAKE YOU FAMILY AND INJOY THE TOWN, AFTER ALL THE PROFIT FROM IT. |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Sugestions on running tournaments I have some idea's that might help the playes and directors run better and safer tournaments. 1) Post on packet information or site the host hotels for the tournament phone number, address, players room rates and address. 2). Each hotel have a place in the lobby with bracket information, game times teams ect updated daily this should be at an area of each host hotel. Along with directors phone numbers. 3) Have at the front desk maps to feilds which can be picked up by every player, listing of every hospital nearest the complex with a map to get there. $0. each complex director should have a two way phone for contact infor in case of time changes or calling emergency information, this shall be on site at each complex.4) each feild have a first aid kit behind home plate, including band aids gaze and infection medication. Water in each doug-outs cold with cups. Each team should have to check in 1 hour befor game time and present cards not just say this guys name or read your roster. Feild maintance is a must feild should be dragged every three games along with chalk linning, to prevent injuries. When a coach wants to protest the game it should be after the game, not stop the game and waster time looking for the director. Awards, all teams pay alot of money and travel lond distances to play in these tournaments and after playing for 3 days you are told your award will be mailed is bull. It should be there no matter what. This should be the easiest thing to do by planning ahead. A snack bar should be open at all times as playes get hungry and don't want to travel and get lost trying to eat. All players or managers kicked out of games shall not be allowed at the rest of the tournament and be up for review for futher suspensions or fines. Defibulators no matter what available at each complex. The most important i think shall be the maps of each complex along with braket posting and time information or any changes shall be made to each manager of a team. Paper is chap, but time is valuable for players and familes. Las vegas has good tournaments but i think that thease things would benifit all players for a safe and fun tournaments. I am sure that even players when not playing for area can be hired to help out. This can be set up by putting your name on a play and work sheet. We had on director who was hurt and stayed in his car all weekend and this can be avoided by this program. Instead of bags for award maybe tee shirst because every player comes with a bag. I am only bring up these ideas to help senior softball be a safer and hppier sport to play. Maps a must and not hard to do along with hospital information that may save someone's lifer to go on and play another day. Each player should be present with card and checked it wasn't do in shadow rock park and we gets these cards for a reason. |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Winter Worlds, Las Vegas I just want to say congradulation to the wilson 55AAA for a great tournament and most of all to my teamates who help me through a tough time of being hit in the head and for all the help getting to the hospital and making sure i got home alright. This is what team mates are all about. They were there the instant the accident happened, lyman papa lou, jesse, darryl and al for a safe trip home. And to my team mates who fought on to take second place. We will be back and congradulations to r ans r. We both should alot of class in the championship. |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Condolences to Terry Hennessey Terry: I am very sorry to hear of your loss, I just lost a great softball freind and know that god is there to take care of him. He will look down on you and do the same. You do a great job along with being a very nice person. Take care Barry Maynard |
| Nov. 23, 2009 barrym | Topic: Associations Discussion: saftey I would like to see the senior softball director at the las vegas tournaments have a saftey medical box for people with serious injuries. I was ufortunate to have been knocked out with a bad hop and was bleeding severly, at which at no time was there a saftey box nor did the tournament director have any knowledge of where a hospital was. I am not complaining about senior softball, its just the fact that alot more attention needs to be placed on saftey. That was a scary experience and no safety first aid box or knowledge cause alot of anziety. Dragging the feilds might have been a good idea also. Safety should be number one priorty. |
| Oct. 28, 2009 barrym | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Nor cal and So cal Look we are all adults and love softball, thats why we play. I see no reason than our selves why we couldn't make this happen. Are life's are not getting any longer.If there is a will there is a way someone had to start senior softball. Bragging rights are good in sports and just think of all the fun and freinds you meet and family members can come together for picnics or whatever. As long as we don't interfer with senior softball rules it just another tournament. |
| Oct. 26, 2009 barrym | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Nor cal and So cal Well i would offer my services as to help organize this event. Why would nor-cal even be worried, this creates different teams instead of all the same teams. I know the umpire in chief from usssa and im sure they would be willing to help. I played in a usssa senior tournament in concord and it was great. I remember in the old days we used to play LA teams all the time and it wasn't about money, it was the sportman's ship and freindships that people made. Im sure there r some pretty good sponsors that would step up and a small entrance feel and an organization formed to sell food. We made tostada's sold them for 2.00 and i think it cost us 30 cents to make them. We can do this and people as far as shirts, food umpires and feilds can be organized with the help of volunteers. U had a great idea so lets make it happen. |
| Oct. 26, 2009 barrym | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Congrats to KC Barons breakdown on the 1-5 thwe winner through second thurd and so on. results |
| Oct. 26, 2009 barrym | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Nor cal and So cal I think with the number of talented teams, it would be nice if we could get the souther ca. teams and norther ca. teams to play each other more. Also maybe halfway through the year an all-star game north vs south and help make money for both organizations. 40 -70. I realyy see alot of room for promotion and freindship. I am sure that most senior bat and shoe manufactures would help out. We have some nice facilities and we should make this a yearly event. |
