| Feb. 27, 2008 SCRAPPY6 55 posts | GOOD INFORMATION. LOOKS LIKE NSA CANADA WILL STICK WITH THE 1.20. MAYBE THAT IS WHY USSSA, NSA, ETC IS GETTING ALL THE TEAMS IN THEIR TOURNAMENTS. IT LOOKS AS THOUGH ASA ONLY WANTS FAST PITCH TEAMS. LAST ISSUE OF BALLS AND STRIKES IS ALMOST ENTIRELY GIRLS FAST PITCH (VERY LITTLE SLOWPITCH INFO). NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH FAST PITCH, BUT I DON'T PLAY. I WILL ALSO NOT PLAY ASA SOFTBALL BECAUSE THEIR RULES ARE GETTING RIDICULAS. YOU HAVE TO CARRY A USSSA/NSA 1.20 BAT, AN ASA 98 BAT, AND ALSO A SR BAT IF YOU WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE. GOOD BYE ASA. ENJOY THE MONEY YOU MAKE OFF OF FAST PITCH AND WHAT YOU CHARGE MANUFACTURERS TO TEST THEIR BATS. READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH IN THE NSA CANADA ARTICLE. "SOFBALL CONTINUES TO BE THE SAFEST SPORT IN NORTH AMERICA AND SOFTBALL HAS SEEN NO INCREASE IN SERIOUS BATTED BALL INJURIES" SEEMS LIKE SOMEONE IS MAKING UP NEW WAYS TO MAKE MONEY UNDER THE PRETENCE OF INCREASED SAFETY. |

| Feb. 28, 2008 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I was but it might now be as past tense, on the ASA Council for seniors relating to softball here in central CA. I got their foot in the door, worked for a bit until they said no U-2's at one tourney I set up, in 2004. They tinkered with the everything that weekend and it got messed up but it wasn't me. I just ended up with the mud on my face. In the end there, bats were allowed but bracketing got screwed. The outcome for the next two didi go well just not enough teams. I quit doing them for them. One bad one can ruin the rest. a friend is not doing them for ASA in the coastal regions which I have attended. Not bad turn outs and the U-2 is allowed. Bracketing is questionable but you should count on it. So there are decent ASA tourneys geared towards seniors around, with a few slated for the coastal areas Santa Maria & Paso Robles this year. I have nothing to do with them i just occasionally attend them. |
