| Posted | Discussion |
| Jan. 17, 2008 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Interest level for an anything goes Senior tournament Hypothetically speaking let's say an organization was willing to put together an anything goes Senior tournament. Open rosters, best bats, good balls, unlimited runs, unlimited Homeruns, even allow a limited number of younger players, weekend only possibly even one day, which would mean nite games and probably 4 to 6 games in one day. Is there any interest. If you are not interested please don't tell me why this is a bad idea. It's kind of like buying a Mercedes if you have to ask about the price of gas you're not the target audience. |

| Jan. 17, 2008 WOW 197 posts | Why not the negative side. There is good and bad in every idea. if your not open to having a "real" discussion, you're wasting your time.......... |
| Jan. 17, 2008 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Your post could refer to either of us. But if you want some positive +++ and neg ---- Hypothetically speaking here of course.... Pos+++ Anyone can play no matter age, ratings, location. Bring what you have to use. No fear of being called out for a HR Good balls Lots of playing time, maybe. Neg---- Location may be a problem Insurance might be a problem Bat police will be watching, you know it Not enotgh games One dayer not good COST not mentioned ??? Opened up to a lot of uncertain hypothetical things. |

| Jan. 17, 2008 STONEMAN Men's 50 535 posts | LECAK: How about us' U-trip / ISA bats? GET RIDE of ALL THOSE SENIOR BATS.... Balls? How about us' the new 53 cor balls that have a 260 comp? One needs to hit that ball & players will earn any Home Run that is hit..... Location... how many Seniors want to take off 1-2 days to play ball??? How many Seniors want to spend over $ 400 in plane tickets?? Spend $ 150-$ 300 for rooms??? Joe, many, many Senior pitchers, do NOT or can NOT c @ nite. Will hit' a pitcher @ nite be an out??? Will there be a Screen to protect pitchers dur' nite games?? hOW LONG OF REST BETWEEN GAMES. This would be great, if, one is play' in a HOT climate.... Will this take us back to a time when there was only 1 division??? I would like to c bring ur own balls & the other team can hit theirs or ur balls? 3 games in 1st day. 2 back to back w/ only a 1 hr rest between the 2 & 3 game.. No play' 1 game, rest 1-2 hrs, play ones 2nd game ; then a 1-3 hr rest before the 3rd game..... Time to hang NO-MO. The STONEMAN.... |
| Jan. 17, 2008 WOW 197 posts | Great idea. Anybody plays and anything goes. No bat rules no ball rules. no 5 run innings no time limit. If it starts to drizzle..........who cares. |
| Jan. 17, 2008 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | Replace a tournament like this in place of the TOC, have it in Arizona in March during spring training. |
| Jan. 18, 2008 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 489 posts | No |
| Jan. 18, 2008 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | How about anything goes but keep it in the age brackets, 50+,55+,60+ etc.. You can play down but not up. Setlle on a good ball and play it early in the year. |
