| Feb. 26, 2024 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Home runs allowed What is the home run allotment for each skill level, and has it always been that amount, or did it recently get changed. Also, is these homerun allotment the same for all age divisions. Thanks Here's my understanding: AA. - 1 HR AAA - 3 HRs MAJOR. - 6 HRs MAJOR + 9 HRs |
| Oct. 25, 2023 tall_thunder | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Arizona 55 AAA Hey, just looking to help out for Winter Worlds. I'm 63yrs old, 6'4", 235lbs. I hit for average, 700+, I have great power, can clear 310' fence. I play 1st base really well. Can EH, catch, and the outfield pretty good. I'm rated a 60 major.

| Oct. 13, 2023 tall_thunder | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Texas Thunder looking for 60 yr old players Hey, my team folded, looking to play Winter Worlds, and more. I'm 63, 6'4" tall, 235lbs, play 1st really good, hit for good power, and depending on how you score walks, I hit 750, get walked a lot. I'm rated 60 major. I can play outfield pretty good, but probably just on Sunday, need recovery time, knees. If interested, call or text. Thanks. Randy 602-291-2164 |
| Sept. 18, 2023 tall_thunder | Topic: Website comments Discussion: Unable to access brackets for tournaments Hey, can anyone help me, I cannot open, download or see any of the brackets from any age level. I have an android phone, does this site not compatible with androids? I had no problem when I used my wife's phone, which is a I-Phone. That's not an option when I'm in a tournament and she's at home. Thanks for any advice. |
| Aug. 10, 2023 tall_thunder | Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: 60 AAA team 3SF from Reno Hey, where's Yuba city ? I live in Phoenix AZ. I'm a 60 major player, I play 1st very well, but will catch, EH, or the outfield if needed. I'm 6'4, 235lbs, hit with power and 700 average. Team disbanded 3 months ago, been hitting with friends. Interested in qualifying so I can help in Vegas in September. If interested, text me, 602-291-2164 |
| Dec. 19, 2022 tall_thunder | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Roster olayers Please clarify for me how many major players can be on a AAA Team. Also, part 1, can a roster have too many majors on a roster, but only bring the legal amount to a tournament. And part 2, if the team is a 60 AAA Team, is a guy 65 major, still considered major on the 60 AAA Team. Thanks for your input. |
| Nov. 27, 2022 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Home plate issue Dave, I understand your rule. You know a play at the plate pretty much a bang bang play. When the car her reached out to get the ball, as fast as possible, That mat moves on the reach catch, bang bang, the mat slips, the runner scores. There was no time for any searching for the plate. Come on Dave, you guys really think us ballplayers are stupid when asking these questions? It's a concern, treated with a little respect. |
| Nov. 23, 2022 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Home plate issue Is there some way to solve a moving home plate mat. We had a play a home, the catcher was on the mat, reached ,stretched, out to receive the ball before the runner. In doing so, the mat got pushed away as the catcher was reaching for the ball, which was received by the catcher in the air, causing the catcher not to be on the mat. The runner was called safe. If the mat didn't move, the runner was out. |

| Sept. 1, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds - Field Assignments Hey, it worked when I used my wife's I-Phone, so for now, that's the way I'll go. See ya All in Vegas. |
| Sept. 1, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds - Field Assignments Thanks Dave, I've tried everything. I've been working with Verizon technical support for an hour with no luck. Just heard from a teammate, and his android didn't allow him to download either, but it did on his laptop. Weird. |
| Aug. 31, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Vegas Worlds - Field Assignments Trying to get help opening the files for the brackets. Directors closed their threads, so I thought I'd try here. I can't seem to see any of the age brackets, open or download. Been having this problem for about 6 months. Would like to know what I might be doing wrong. Thanks for any suggestions. Be respectful in your response, not everyone is computer literate. |
| March 30, 2021 tall_thunder | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Looking to play in Vegas, Looking to help a team in Vegas in April. I can play 55 AAA or Majors. I'm 6'4", 235lbs, hit with power and for average. Play 1st base quite well, can play outfield, EH or even catch. My regular team isn't going so I'm interested in playing with someone that needs a player. I live in Arizona. Randy 602-291-2164 |
| Nov. 17, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Covid concern Boy, these conversations crack me up. On theoutz, you can't drop out or not sign up, or stay home until teams are made aware of an issue. Now teams are aware, they can make their decision. Also, they're only aware if they see this notice. |
| Nov. 17, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Covid concern I was informed that Arizona Sidewinders 65 just dropped out Winter Worlds due to players having the virus. My concern is that these guys also practice during the week with the Arizona Sidewinders 60, and they seem to still be in the tournament. For safety for all, shouldn't these guys get tested. If we end up playing this team, I will be very concerned about my team's health. |
| Sept. 22, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Archie Gubler Fields To the guys who expressed their opinions on Gubler ballfields, I agree, but Mr Dowell will never see our view point. He should run for a political office. The grounds crew was poor, when they watered, they flooded batter's box and never raked it out. The Canyon was better taken care of, awesome fields. With Covid shut down of Vegas, we have to play where we can. |
| Sept. 20, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: 2020 LVSSA/SSUSA World Masters Game Results!! I believe 4th place in 60 AAA went to Vector Scorpions, out of Florida, the Eastern National and National Champions. Good tournament to all. |
| Aug. 31, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Team forfeiting their seeding games I read a team would not be playing their seeding games, but be at the field for the start of the bracket play. SSUSA stated that the team would be seeded last, which I agree on, but then SSUSA stated that the team would start in the losers bracket, which I don't agree with. SSUSA stated rule 15.5... where are these rules so I can see how you came to this reasoning. Thanks |
| Aug. 21, 2020 tall_thunder | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Eastern National Tournament Why are brackets for the Eastern National Tournament not filled in, and it says rain out on them? I've tried refreshing, and still nothing. Any suggestions. |
