Good outfielder played as a 55 pick up last year and was selected to All World team could also play in 50s as I play in many leagues of all ages here in NJ |
| Dec. 27, 2013 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | have played with AAA,Major and plus teams usually bat in the 2 or 3 hole...even with the young teams!! and play LF I play to win and try to do the little things that help teams win along with being very consistent too |

| Jan. 16, 2014 Shark Men's 60 99 posts | So does that mean you are playing for your regular team in Tampa ? |
| Jan. 22, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | IT MEANT BETWEEN YOUR TEAM AND MY last year team I HAD Tampa covered..thanks for asking me shark hopefully some other time perhaps |
| Jan. 22, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | still need a team for polk county TOC |
| Jan. 22, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | The application period for teams to make written requests for adding "Roster Exemption" players for the 2014 Original Tournament of Champions closed on Friday, January 10, 2014 ... The complete rules and procedures "white paper" for TOC roster composition is available from the RULES page of this web site ... |
| Jan. 22, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | so that means there is no chance for me to play? I am in Fla with my son on his make a wish trip and we extended our stay to try to play these 2 tournaments ..my 4 year old son who was given less then a year to live likes to see his dad play..of course we are trusting in the Lord to override the DRS prognosis and so far so good! |
| Jan. 22, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | but it will be very disappointing to end the trip this way..we go back on the auto train on the 11th |
| Jan. 22, 2014 Perl 212 posts | The Answer It stinks that you aren't going to get to play in the TOC. Hopefully you and your son will spend many more days together at the ballpark. May GOD BLESS your family with a miracle. |
| Jan. 23, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | the answer: We are certainly not prohibiting you from participating in the TOC if you are otherwise eligible to be legally added to a team under the TOC roster composition rules (which are designed to maintain both integrity of rosters and fair competition for all teams). However, it seemed wise to let you know that the number of managers seeking "roster exemption" players after Janmuary 10th has decreased significantly, possibly to zero. If a team is still looking, you have a slim chance, but not simply as a "free agent" seeking to play for anyone. |
| Jan. 28, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | Fat nancys /Guiootois/Geneese if you need me I am the guy from pill and pill who had the walkoff double to beat you guys in the elimination game/and 5 other hits!!in your last tampa game (33 to 32) ...I will be down here till feb 11 so please call if you need me |
| Jan. 28, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | I was talking to one of your Tampa players who said you maybe looking |
| Jan. 29, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | the answer: Here's an update on your search efforts ... You are not eligible to join Fat Nancy's/Gubiotti for the 2014 TOC because they already have more than 12 players on their roster ... Players #13-15 (the maximum for teams adding "roster exemption players") must come from the next older age group and the same, or lesser, rating level ... You are too young to be a "roster exemption player" in the 55-Major since you will not be 60 until July, 2015 ... With your current age 58 and personal 55-Major team history, the only teams that fit the criteria to potentially add you right now are the two 50-Major+ teams, but only as one of their two allowable out of region roster exceptions ... You do not meet the state residency requirements for any of the six 50-Major teams or the other four 55-Major teams ... Good luck! |
| Jan. 29, 2014 senior 55 4 posts | There are tournaments in Altamonte Springs class D and E at Semonile Park the next 2 weekends.Not far from Disney.Someone will probably need players. |
| Jan. 30, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | so couldn't I play for a 50s team? the only sanctioned tournamnets I played were for AAA 55s all the others were just rec or preseason tournaments I mainly play local...senior 55 do you know any team that could use me? |
| Jan. 30, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | we are staying at give kids the world till this sunday then move to bluegreen villas on international dr Orlando for a week (doing a timeshare tour) any softball in the area? |
| Jan. 30, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | the ISSA was a lot more flexible and player friendly with allowing players to play...isn't that what this is supposed to be all about? |
| Jan. 30, 2014 SSUSA Staff 3485 posts | Nope ... You are NOT state or bordering state of residence eligible to play for ANY of the 50-AAA or 50-AA teams or ANY of the other (excluding Fat Nancy's/Gubiotti, for which you are underage to be a "roster exemption player") 55+ age teams, regardless of division ... You ARE eligible for 50-Major+, but only if either of those two teams has a remaining out-of-area roster exemption (max. of two) available ... SSUSA prides itself in maintaining the roster integrity and fairness of competition aspects of the original Tournament of Champions, and requiring that participating teams actually win a qualifying event to be invited ... What others may do to create relaxed rosters and ratings is their business, but does not result in any enticement for us to lessen our standards ... |
| Jan. 30, 2014 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | Geez, what happen to earning your way into the tourney. Let it go. It is the TOC, not, I am in the area and want to play tourney. |
| Jan. 30, 2014 the answer Men's 60 115 posts | some people just don't have the time or money to travel around the country trying to win in these tournaments..by the grace of God we were able to come to Florida partly due to our son johns illness and make a wish trip and have extended the trip to make the most of it and to get out of the cold. Just trying to make the most of our trip .I will not bother you guys anymore God bless |
