| One would think that the fall league TOURNAMENT would have have two umpires for the games. .Wrong! One umpire for every game! That caused alot of problems..for the ump & the teams playing. One game the ump made a horrible call which was obviously wrong and everyone saw it! Would've been the last out of the inning and basically sealing the win for the other team but ended up scoring 6-points off the horrible call! This ump favored teams horribly. .You would also think they would have an official score book for each game. .heard of one game where a team got screwed on there points. .sayed points where being added to different teams wrongly. .now the other team shouldve also kept a book to counteract the other and prove it was right but that didin't happen, which is somewhat there fault but whatever... I also heard that the tournament rules said that the teams players had to be on the regular season roster in order to play in the tournament. .obviously the rules changed for one team in particular..the one who ran the tourney. Don't get mad @ teams when they pick up players so they can play then tell them they have to be on your active roster to play in the tourney..but then turn around and break your own rule. .So don't get mad @ other teams that do that. .
I had fun this fall. .loved every minute of it. .I don't normally gripe. .I honestly don't care about who plays on whos team, but some people do in thats fine. I just enjoy playing. .but just figured some things shouldve been done differently for the tourney. .

| Ok I agree there should of been two umpires but the league didnt have the money for another umpire or for score keepers... which is fine both teams should have a score keeper and as for the game where one team was not getting the runs they scored... That was the Lutz and Herrin Tire game... That was a false statement that you made about my team shaving points off their score but hey whatever... It was a blast this Fall Dan keep up the good work and congrats on winning... By the way my team will get you next year!!!!!! haha

| I was was just going off what I heard during the game between the the two teams. .and I agreed that the other team should've had a book also but hey..its softball..a few of the players made a deal about but others it really didnt matter. .You guys pkayed goog and so did the other team. .but just tryin to eliminate some problems. .but watched the other games some of the umps made some game changing calls. .but o well. .

| Points? Like you hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer to tie it? Or maybe you missed the extra POINT and lost in OT. It's runs not points in softball and maybe everyone should try running an entire softball league for a week and see how EASY it is (sarcasim). You might not think that snapping your fingers or clicking your heels is the easiest way to get things done anymore. Plus as mad as I get at umps sometimes you have to remember that they are not computers and do make mistakes, they are people and can't see everything all the time. You want 2 Umps at every game, fine that means we all pay more money for Fall League.....it's fall league man....common. We are lucky to have a fall league tourney period. Thank you by the way. And if you are gonna bitch and complain and rip on people for the way that they do things have the stones to post your name.

| Here’s my thing and this has always been my thing. I let people come on here and post “anonymously” so that they can voice their opinion. The reason I do this is because we’re all MEN. See that? MEN. There are some people who can’t do that. This is a perfect example. I’m not talking about you calling me out or the team I play on (which by the way the rules DO NOT say that they had to be on the regular season roster to play in the tournament for fall league. Fall League has always been less serious and strict because it is fall and people’s real commitments are different than summer. I.E. Kids.), which is incorrect, so I’m just ignoring that ignorant rant.
1) I’ve never gotten “mad” at anyone for picking up players. NEVER. People’s Bank played my team in the summer and called and said they needed to pick up players and I said pick up whoever you need. Travis Vickery called me and asked if they could pick up some guy who played with the Miners last night, I said sure. It’s fall league. It’s always been like that. The rule is that if you’re short, you can pick people up to get 10 but you can only use those people once in that league. We picked up 2 guys last night because we were short. Neither had played with us this year.
2) Fall league has 1 umpire. All 3 umpires that we use are very good. If you don’t think that, then that’s your issue. But you’re dead wrong. There is not, and I repeat, there is not one umpire who umpired in the fall league who gives a flying rats ass about who wins or loses. To think so, and especially to SAY SO, is foolish.

| Also, if you look at the scores from last Thursday we got our asses handed to us by World we scored 2 runs in the first 5 innings! 6 Umps making ten bad calls apiece wouldn't have changed that so it definitly wasn't me and who f*in cares? By the way great tourney Sat. Dan thanks for having us we had a good time.

| that team prime sure did play one hell of a game thursday nite. in all my years of watching softball i have never seen a comeback of that nature. once a person reaches my age all you can do is watch, but i will tell you what i would bring water, sweat rags, or just shag foul balls just for an oppurtunity to be around that team. those guys sure can play and do it with such style.i think all the teams should take a look at that team and maybe try to implement what they do on and off the field.

| Wow somebody takes this softball a little serious. Unlike some we do have other lives outside of softball. It’s apparent you couldn’t see the humor in the post, lighten up.
