| Posted | Discussion |
| April 16 Bob50 Men's 60 242 posts | We are a new team in the midwest called Black & Blue. We will be playing 55 Major Plus. Please post your schedule here so we can all determine how well represented Major Plus will be especially for the Nationals. Here are the tournaments we plan to attend: 5/1,2--Brickyard Invitational (Indianapolis) 7/16,17,18--SPA National (Dalton) 7/30,31,8/1--ISA World (Gallatin) 8/6,7,8--SSUSA Eastern Campionships (Raleigh) 8/27, 28, 29--LVSSA National (Vegas) 10/22, 23, 24--SSUSA World (Phoenix) We are considering attending another tournament in June to which we can drive with Indiana as a center point. Any suggestions? |
| April 16 Dirty Men's 50 1371 posts | Do any of these "nationals" and "worlds" have qualifiers? If not, wouldn't they then be just another tournament? |
| April 16 kbl Men's 60 544 posts | bob50--june 4-6. SPA - south bend qualifier for SPA worlds. |
| April 17 titanhd Men's 60 639 posts | kbi. South Bend is AAA and below. |
| April 19 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | Hardly any teams at the Major-plus level. How many teams do you think will be in these tournaments? 3? 4? With border rules, 5 runs an inning, a limit on the homeruns, combining Major-plus and Major is the way to go! |
| April 19 Bob50 Men's 60 242 posts | Jawood, We realize at the MP level that there are a limited number of teams available for each tournament. That is one reason that most of our tournaments are Nationals/Worlds. It is our hope that we will have the opportunity to measure our strength as a team against other MP teams. The purpose of my original post was to encourage other MP teams to post their schedules likewise so we can all see which teams are going where. Personally I would like to see Major and Major Plus combine. Time will tell what the Associations decide in that regard. Dirty, We regard to your post I have been on the message board long enought to know that you know the answer to your own question. Why don't you write what is really on your mind. |
| April 19 Jawood Men's 50 943 posts | Anytime I see a Major-plus issue I find it difficult not to get on my soap box. I find it so ridiculous. Good luck with your tournaments! |
| April 23 Bob50 Men's 60 242 posts | I guess no one else on a 55 Major Plus team cares enough about competition at this level to cooperate and post their schedule. |
| April 23 Dirty Men's 50 1371 posts | Bob, I think I know the answer to my first question. No. But I really don't to my second. Without any qualifiers to get there it is just another tournament. Can anyone just call their tourney a "national"? All that is on my mind is the excessive use of "national" and the gullible guys who will buy into it. |
| April 23 Tate22 Men's 60 280 posts | Bob: The Nighthawks are a 55 M+ team out of Southern CA. We will be in Reno in June, LVSSA World August 27-29 in Las Vegas, SSUSA World in Phoenix. We play monthly, mostly in SSUSA qualifiers in our area to keep travel costs down. Palm Springs this weekend. What past teams do your guys come from? Don Newhard Nighthawks 55 M+ |
| April 23 Bob50 Men's 60 242 posts | Don, We look forward to seeing you in Vegas and Phoenix. Our team is comprised of former players from Travelodge, Windy City and Geckle. Mostly former Travelodge players. |
| April 23 Tate22 Men's 60 280 posts | Bob: I thought I recognized that Bob 50 handle. We'll have our hands full as usual with your crew, especially if your adding from Windy City and Geckle. There are three other active 55 M+ teams in CA who will likely be at the two nationals you mentioned. Not sure about Ruth's 55's, but they will likely turn up as well. Good luck this season! Don |
