| Dec. 15, 2007 shooter65 7 posts | tournament officials We played Saturday evening at Freedon park in the Vegas Worlds. We had a guy who needed medical attention. He didn't need a $1000.00 ambulance ride, we just needed to get him to a medical facility. When started inquiring about a close medical facility, we discovered that all the umpiring crews were from out of town and there were, apparently, no tournament officials at the park. If they were there, they were pretty well hidden. We finally found an umpire who thought he knew where a medical facilty was and a guy with a GPS. Seems to me that SSUSA should have their people at all games. |

There was minimal or no charge for them. Apparently ambulance services are like tow trucks, they jump the calls and try to be the 1st ones to get there but he advised against using them unless you wanted to pay opting for the fire dept instead. Fortunately no one needed that advice then so I'd forgotten about it until I read your post. You make very valid points. |

| Dec. 17, 2007 shooter65 7 posts | Softballer..Yes, I remember you. I'm not sure, in all the excitement, if i had a chance to say thank you for helping out. Turns out, our guy had some severe stomach issues that night and we did get him to the hospital and he is doing fine. Again, thank you for your help. |
