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.
I think it would depend of where it was.
But you'll ge a lot of interest here.
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..........
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.
I think it a good idea as long as there was some kind of main age brackets.
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....
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.
Replace a tournament like this in place of the TOC, have it in Arizona in March during spring training.
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.
