MASA,
The Parks & Rec Dept has reached out to MASA in regards to the water issue at Nessing Field. They have a plan set in to start working as soon as MASA playoffs end and before fall ball would start. Field repair would take up to two weeks minimum.
The plan is for MASA to notify Parks as soon as possible with a end date on the season. This should give Parks enough time to get what they planned in place so fall ball can start on time or a week later if necessary.
Please be aware that bad weather will leave MASA no choice to schedule remaining playoff games as soon as possible, this means playing on offset nights.
MASA is looking for teams to please send a email to
meridensoftball@yahoo.com
This is so we have a idea how many teams are interested in either men's or co-ed.
Fall ball info is located on the left hand side under 2017 Fall Ball
----------------------------------------------------
The Play down / Playoff link is now opened and is located on the left side
Please look at Playoff link for the game outline.
Please understand that playoffs will be scheduled the best possible due to
field & umpire availability.
---------------------------------------------------------
No player ID's will be done for the remainder of the season.
To many constant no shows for given ID times
----------------------------------------------
Attention MASA:
As of Wednesday 5/24, no more player add on's will be accepted
without a doctors note.
Thank you,
MASA Board

*** As of November 2015 ***
Division & Playoff winners:
For the 2016 season & going forward, the team winning 1st place in their division or 1st place in the playoffs will be automatically moving up a division the following year. If the team holds 60% of returning roster. This will be used with the 2015 standings. Teams adding players from a higher division could also see a bump as well. Please also note that the 2nd place teams will be in consideration as well.
Bat Flipping:
The flipping of a bat upon completion of a player’s time at bat is strongly discouraged by the MASA Board. As all players should be aware, a player willfully throwing a bat faces an automatic ejection. For bat flipping, the MASA Board is instructing game umpires to use their judgment as to a bat flip action which could be construed as throwing the bat. If an umpire, in his/her judgment determines a bat flip to being akin to the throwing of a bat, said batter will face immediate ejection. Also, if a flipped bat strikes any participant, including an umpire, said player will face immediate ejection.
