| Sept. 28, 2020 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | Small State, Big Time Teams ... Just an interesting observation from this past weekend in Kingman ... The State of Maryland sent five (5) teams to the 40-Masters divisions of play for Session #3 of the World Masters ... Here's how they did ... • 40-Major-Plus • LB/Spirits West/SMC – CHAMPION – Won USA National Championship Game – Won Triple Grand Slam • 40-AAA • NOTE: NorCal's Above & Beyond Plumbing (CA) won the unofficial "Maryland State Championships" Finalist – Gigantes O.C. 40's (MD) 3rd Place – Potomac Sports 40 (MD) 4th Place – Rough Ryders (MD) 5th Place (tie) – CBD/True North Remodeling (MD) (eliminated by 3rd place neighbor Potomac Sports 40's) – USA National Champion You guys travel spectacularly! ... Congratulations! |

They wanted it all and got it all. The AAA bracket was fun, but I enjoyed the off field stuff as much as the Ws. The guys from Sicarios, A/B Plumbing and GTR were fun, fun people that I look forward to seeing again down the road. After all, that is what this old man ball thing is supposed to be about, right? |
| Sept. 29, 2020 DaveDowell Men's 70 4317 posts | That's great to hear about the Lost Boys/Spirits West crew ... They won deservedly over a strong field of Major+ teams ... As for the AAA's, I remember thinking as the bracket narrowed down late Saturday night and into Sunday morning, "Gee, there are a lot of Maryland teams left!", then all of the sudden, it became "Wow, it's only A&B Plumbing against the entire State of Maryland!" ... A&B hung on and are the only team in ANY 40-Master's division, men or women, to come through entire three days unbeaten ... Impressive! ... I know, Tim, how hard you've worked over the past few years to bring a lot of new Eastern 40's teams into the SSUSA family, not just in Maryland ... This has gotta feel good ... Enjoy it ... You certainly earned it! ... |

We also thanks those AAA and Major Maryland area teams for not complaining about us playing in those tournaments, I'm 100% sure it help prepare them for the worlds. Looking for to Major ++ next year I guess....lol H |
