2020 World Masters Field Shakeup for Session 4; Papago Park Added
Oct. 1, 2020
The 2020 LVSSA/SSUSA World Masters Championships (WMC) will resume in three weeks with the fourth and final session, the Men’s and Women’s 50’s Divisions, playing October 29 – November 1 in the Phoenix Metro area.
Recently, SSUSA was informed by the City of Mesa that field availability for Thursday, Friday and Sunday during the fourth session of the World Masters Championships would be significantly reduced.
These reductions have forced us to relocate divisions.
To solve the shortfall, we have added Papago Park Softball Complex in Phoenix for Thursday and Friday (it is not available on the weekend).
In addition, Victory Lane Sports Complex agreed to postpone its leagues and open all six (6) fields up from Thursday- Sunday. This change allowed us to move the 50-team Men's 50 AAA Division to Victory Lane.
However, the Men's 50 AAA Division filled Victory Lane, so we had to move the Men's 50 Major Plus and 50 AA, and the Women's Divisions to Mesa on Friday-Sunday.
We apologize for the change and thank you in advance for your understanding during these difficult times... especially because we already had to move the WMC 50 Divisions to both a different city and different dates.
Here are the revised Field Assignments for Session #4:
- Men's 50 Major-Plus: Skyline (Mesa) Fri. & Sat. / Eastmark (Mesa) Sun.
- Men's 50 Major: Eastmark (Mesa) Thur. thru Sun. / Papago (Phoenix) Thur. & Fri. / Skyline (Mesa) Sat.
- Men's 50 AAA: Victory Lane (Glendale) Thur. thru Sun.
- Men's 50 AA: Papago (Phoenix) Fri. / Eastmark (Mesa) Sat. / Skyline (Mesa) Sun.
- Women's 50 Major: Skyline (Mesa) Fri. thru Sun.
- Women's 50 AAA: Skyline (Mesa) Fri. and Sun. / Eastmark (Mesa) Sat.
