| April 3 Z/Man 1 posts | Mens AA & AAA (50 age group) teams certainly comprise the largest # of entries in major tourneys such as RocknReno-Sending literally hundred of folks from Reno/Sparks area where historically we ALWAYS play, reserve discounted rooms FAR in advance and have established a sizeable and consistent financial boost to the local economy by our participation-makes no sense to suddenly state it's Carson City Time!!-Ask ANY team that now has their venue abruptly changed and the vast majority will agree with me--no offense to other age groups--but the smaller divisions would seem to be a better choice to play in Carson City--This is Rockn"Reno--not Carson City--if so, where and when did this change take place as courtesy dictates this decision be advertised from the get go so teams can truly decide if the inconvenience (not to mention the expense) is worth it. Organizers run a real risk of alienating vast numbers of dedicated folks. Z/Man |

| April 4 DesertGuy Men's 60 224 posts | Z/Man- Our 60 team has played at Carson for the last 2 years and I'm a bit disappointed that we aren't there this year. The fields are the best in the tournament. The field guys there do a full prep after each game. The food is fantastic and not expensive. We all stay in Reno and drive down and it's no problem. But watch out for the speed trap between Reno and Carson. 55 means 55 there. I don't agree with you about an abrupt change here. It's still almost 2 months until the tournament starts, and no other organizations give you this much advance info. You seem ready to complain about something before you have the chance to see how good Carson is. Oh, and you are right about one thing, looking at who has played in Carson for the last couple years, It is your turn. But you'll like it a lot. |
| April 6 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | ZMan - As you can see the post from the SSUSA staff, the 50 Major and Major-plus have been stuck out in Carson City for a few years. Now it's your turn, have fun in the wind tunnel. |
| April 9 WOW 197 posts | Thanks for brining the 60's back to Reno. |
| April 9 Pudge Men's 65 47 posts | I believe the Don Mello complex has been used the last couple years for Rock 'N' Reno. There is no mention of it on this years Field LIst. Just guessing, it is less expensive to rent the Centennial Complex than Don Mello. Major problem with Carson is, there is not the quantity of lodging there is in Reno. If you stay in Reno and have an early game followed by a later game you are either stuck in Carson or must ride back and forth a couple times from Reno. This tourney is called Rock'N'Reno not 'Carpool to Carson'. It would be nice if all divisions played in Reno, and with the addition of the new Golden Eagle Complex, there doesn't appear to be a reason for this not to happen. |
| April 9 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Pudge if they can rent Don Mello that would be a miracle if my info is correct. Don Mello was razed to make way for a AAA minor league stadium and retail I do believe. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me. |
| April 9 Bill in Sac Men's 75 32 posts | Lecak, You are correct. There is a brand new complex in Sparks called Golden Eagle Regional Park. It's all artificial tuf and I believe it has 4 fields. It is not BLd |
| April 9 Pudge Men's 65 47 posts | Oops. Did not know Don Mello was torn down. My Bad. I guess the "Carpool to Carson" tournament continues. |
| April 9 Bill in Sac Men's 75 32 posts | Correction--It has 6 fields |
| April 10 DesertGuy Men's 60 224 posts | Golden Eagle has 6 fields. Haven't seen it yet, but hope we'll get a chance to see it this year. Found some pictures online and it sure looks nice, even though it's astro turf. Still prefer the grass at Centennial over anything else we've ever seen in the Reno area. http://worldsoftballleague.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=24 |
