| Dec. 16, 2012 Capt Kirk 541 posts | Survey I received a survey form from SPA that I thought was worth the effort in filling it out. It covered a variety of issues: home run limits, max runs/inning, tournament format, pitch count, ratings and etc. I believe that it is important that senior softball association provide an outlet for player's feedback. Just my two cents worth on this subject. Capt |

| Dec. 16, 2012 J R 251 posts | Captain I checked out The sports plex fields. The are horrible some of the worst I have seen Jack |
| Dec. 16, 2012 Capt Kirk 541 posts | Thanks Jack, you would think that the Texas State Championship would be played at a first rate complex. Here are some of the comments I read online about the complex: It's $3 to get in, which is annoying. But you do get a drink token . . . but I don't really want a drink when I'm about to make the long trek back to the suburbs. I suspect it's to keep some of the riff raff out as the Sportsplex isn't in the greatest part of town. The lot is half paved, and half not. The paved side is almost always full. I wish they would use the entrance fee to pave the rest of the lot, because not all of us drive big honking trucks that can handle accidentally falling into the massive pot hole in the poorly lit lot. I do like that they've now added a big watch tower over the parking lot, which makes the laides (me) feel somewhat safer. Capt |
| Dec. 17, 2012 leftyfalcon Men's 65 158 posts | Wes what state do you plan to retire in. They have alot of 60AAA & 65AAA in Al. and Ga. |
| Dec. 17, 2012 miken44 90 posts | the spa survey was a nice thing to get there was some input by the players who play not someone telling you how it will be ask the players what they want let them decide counts homeruns and runs per innings if we have some say so then the complaining may be less because we set some of the rules |
| Dec. 18, 2012 canIjack Men's 60 322 posts | I Just filled out my SPA survey last night. It was nice of them to ask for OUR (PLAYERS) opinion. Yea, I'm glad they asked me and yes it was a first for me to be asked by any Association to comment on its upcoming Rules. I really like that SPA. |
| Dec. 18, 2012 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Apparently many/most of you are unaware that SSUSA sent out a letter that requested players/managers input on their rules. It was sent 3-4 weeks prior to the rules committee meetings. I'm guessing that the feedback received was useful in working through the issues. SPA has been doing this for several years now and it is nice to know that your opinions do matter. BW |
| Dec. 18, 2012 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | leftyfalcon--I'm going to stay in Ky---I think Al & Ga would work for SSUSA but SPA it would have to be Tnn |
| Dec. 20, 2012 Wayne 37 Men's 65 773 posts | Capt. Are you referring to Softball World in Euless? Big League Dreams in Mansfield has a great facility that charges $3.00 to get in with a token at the bar. However the bar is inside with air conditioning, TV's with all kinds of drinks, beer and mixed. The fields are first class to say the least. Should look into availibity there. The complex is in sort of a remoter area though, but I haven't been down that way in a while, so I don't know what might have been built up in the area. |
| Dec. 20, 2012 Al33 Men's 55 183 posts | Hey Bill, If apparently many/most were unaware that SSUSA sent out a letter 3-4 weeks before the rules meeting, then apparently they didn't do a very good job of sending it out nor did they include the total membership. If SPA can do it, there's no reason they all can't do it. If associations are really concerned about the players or customers input, they should be willing to provide the opportunity to all for input. In todays world of social media and technolgy, there's really no excuse not to. What else do we pay our yearly dues for? |
| Dec. 20, 2012 mad dog Men's 65 4191 posts | wayne i think he is talking about a complex in houston,i think that is where the texas state champs will be held next year....... now for the survey,none received from either assoc...... |
| Dec. 20, 2012 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Al33: I'm not sure who Bill is but I presume that you're responding to my post. My point was/is that the 'many/most were unaware' referred to just the folks that posted on here. This message board is not a fair sampling of the total membership. I received the letter via email and I passed it on to 25+ people and asked that they pass it on. I know that others did the same. I cannot speak for SSUSA in terms of many members responded or even received info about the rules committee meeting. SPA has been sending a survey to me for 2-3 years now (via email). Bob Woodroof |
