| April 14, 2015 SSUSA Staff 3490 posts | Session #1 TENTATIVE Field Assignments are under revision due to the loss of two teams (one Monday and one Tuesday) ... Will be posted after the game load recalculations and facility balancing are complete ... |

| April 15, 2015 wdodge22 Men's 55 152 posts | How soon for Session #2 ( 50 AAA )? |
| April 15, 2015 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | Couple more days likely ... Still have two teams in that session that can't make a final decision on remaining in the event ... |
| April 15, 2015 tommy45 20 posts | Of all the softball complexes in Las Vegas you had to use Big League Dreams. The only park that pats you down, looks through your bag, won't allow any outside food or drinks and charges a fee to get in. Is this a great association or what. Thanks alot |
| April 15, 2015 JBTexas Men's 70 434 posts | tommy45, most team would kill to play at BLD vs some of the fields that they were given. Guess you can't please everyone. |
| April 15, 2015 Omar Khayyam 1357 posts | tommy45, last year our team played at BLD in the Worlds Tourney. I was surprised at the lack of vendors considering the full park of eager buyers. Turns out there is a BLD hefty fee for exhibitors to bring their merchandise in so a lot of vendors didn't bother. So add that to your list. On the other hand, I have played in BLDs all over the west and never been patted down! I also have ALWAYS been able to bring in my jug of water without objection. Food? No. Outside beverages? No. And there is a fee that has been rising over the years. But the reason my team was happy to play at BLD last year is that the fields were far superior (including spectator seating) than some others we have played at. Worth it. |
| April 15, 2015 cv elite Men's 40 23 posts | You could put the 40 at Bld the rest of the field are ok we won't bitch Central Valley Elite 40zzzz |
| April 15, 2015 curveball Men's 65 705 posts | tommy45 you've got to be kidding! Those are great fields. The fee is $3, part is given back to you as token for purchase of food or drink, not a bad deal at all. SSUSA (Dave) works very hard to schedule so that as many teams as possible get to play at such at BLD. It's the venue that the majority of teams request. Maybe Dave can figure out how to keep you happy and schedule your team on the grass fields at Shadow Rock! You'd save $3/day playing there in entry fees. There are no pat downs at BLD, bags are "kinda" checked, not very well though! As Omar has stated, the facility is superior. |
| April 15, 2015 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Tommy45, now I've heard everything! Holy cow. |
| April 15, 2015 Mark 44 Men's 60 88 posts | As many years that I have played in Las Vegas, I have never played at BLD. It has to be, without a doubt the finest facility in Vegas by far. Who cares about paying a few dollars to play on a quality field. SSUSA, put tommy45 at Shadow Rock & Hollywood & put the 55AAA at BLD. You can bring in all the water you can carry. Are you there to eat or play ball? Give me the best & you can take the rest....... |
| April 15, 2015 Mark 44 Men's 60 88 posts | I got so excited, I forgot what age group that I am in.... LOL Put 60AAA at BLD....... I must be getting old... |
| April 15, 2015 gott2play Men's 60 212 posts | Tommy45, Two words come to mind...C'mon man! Tony Baltazar So Cal 55's - Major |
| April 15, 2015 GI Men's 60 228 posts | Hey Mark 44. This is our year to play BLD. Last year we were moved out due to 55's having more teams. This year 60's have most and I am really looking forward to playing there. See you at park, GI LVSSA Raiders 60s AAA |
| April 16, 2015 TAT22 74 posts | Dave, Couple more days likely ... Still have two teams in that session that can't make a final decision on remaining in the event ...we are two weeks away from the event and teams haven't made a decision on playing or not? Why have an entry deadline? |
| April 16, 2015 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | They were both "in and paid" by the deadline, but forfeiture of their entry fees is triggered when the schedules are drawn .... We try to avoid that detriment ... In both cases (one of which withdrew yesterday), it was last minute "roster issues" making them shorthanded ... Noon cutoff today on the other team ... Just trying our best to allow everyone to participate if possible! ... Will publish Session #1 detail schedules today and make final field determinations on Session #2 ... |
| April 16, 2015 DMac Men's 60 207 posts | I love playing at BLD. When they open my bag to check it, the first thing they see is a couple of pairs of dirty socks and a used jockstrap or two. No one has ever checked any farther. |
| April 16, 2015 TAT22 74 posts | Dave, thanks for the update, I understand "roster issues" can happen at any time, and yes I want "to allow everyone to participate if possible!" 100%! |
| April 16, 2015 800 59 posts | How about the schedule for 65-80 |
| April 16, 2015 curveball Men's 65 705 posts | 800 See DaveDowell post just above you............. |
| April 17, 2015 wdodge22 Men's 55 152 posts | DaveDowell, Soon? |

| April 17, 2015 GI Men's 60 228 posts | Hi Dave You made me one happy camper. Look forward to seeing you next week. Hugs to all. GI |
| April 17, 2015 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Now you're going to get searched! Hugs! |
| April 17, 2015 GI Men's 60 228 posts | Good one Dave C. You haveknown me for 25 plus years . You know I love those HUGS. Guess I will have to hide my candy bars better. HA |
| April 19, 2015 JDub Men's 60 206 posts | Hey Dave, Since we "Az Elite" will be done Saturday afternoon can you just pencil us in Saturday afternoon as a 55's Team with Summy's 55 & MTC 55 in the 50/55+ Platinum Bracket? I wouldn't think anyone would Squawk about it!? Timmy ? ? ? Kind Regards, Jeff White #7 AZ Elite 50/55M+ |
| April 19, 2015 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | @Jeff ... I made that inquiry when I first saw the four M+ teams, but was told (hopefully accurately!) by people higher up the food chain here that the 55-M+ guys wanted to play only with the 50-M straight up and not within the 55-M or, presumably, with the 50-M+ ... Am traveling to Las Vegas early tomorrow with laptop in hand, so we've got some time to adjust if you can get a consensus quickly ... It's YOUR tournament, not ours, so we'll do what you guys all can agree on doing ... Time, as always, is of the essence! ... |
| April 19, 2015 JDub Men's 60 206 posts | Hi DaveD, I'll have DaveQ and/or Gil contact you ASAP! Thank you for your prompt reply Dave . . . |
