| Sept. 3, 2015 hitman Men's 70 339 posts | 1st or second at Southern in Birmingham Thanks for the great input, their was more involved that I didn't mention, This was the 3 A championship game with the winner receiving the TOC bid. After excepting the call they scored 4 more runs that ending but we pulled out the win. Another problem arises, the tournament included four 65 3 A's & one 70 major undefeated team. We all 3 agreed who ever won the game would forfeit the final game with the major team since both teams would win their age group and bid to the TOC. We were told by the director that the game had to be played or forfeit the 3 A championship. We discussed why risk injury on a game that doesn't count in the standings. We play the game and was beat by several runs due to awesome hitting & they enjoyed having the extra man in the field. As the awards were being handed out the 70 Major received SSUSA Polo shirts & we received SSUSA hats for winning the 3 A championship. Unbelievable Tom Wasmer SLO SOX 3 A |
| Sept. 3, 2015 hitman Men's 70 339 posts | While other associations would have rewarded both Teams with first place awards especially since the game was played under championship rules and both teams were awarded 1st place for TOC, I don't understand why one 1st place team gets different awards than another 1st place. I guess SSUSA was saving a couple of dollars on awards that are mostly supported by their sponsors. How can you justify one team in 70 Major eligible for rings and not the 65AAA team that was champion but received second place awards, very poor for a TOC qualifier. |
