1. Can someone tell me if there is a specification for "no major players" in ASA church softball.
2. How do I get access to the listing of major players for ASA. Thanks in advance for your help. |
Let's see. Let me get out my Church Softball book... um....
There is no such thing. "Major Players"??? I don't think anyone here knows what you might be referring to. |
Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology for your association, again, I'm from USSSA.
In USSSA we have an Elite Players list, and a Major Players list. There are rules about so many elite or major players in the different classifications of softball. There are also "program" eligibility rules (i.e., black american program can have 2 men playing that are not african american, etc.) We go to a church that has a really good church softball team, and they will participate in church state in a few weeks, and they have asked my husband to go. They are playing a church tourney this weekend, and my husband was told he couldn't play because he was a "major player." |

[/B][/QUOTE] Let me restate that - they are playing an ASA tourney this weekend - they were told it was Church B????, and he was told he couldn't play . . . He really couldn't care less about playing this weekend, I was just wondering if there were written rules on the subject. |

He is not listed on a roster of any kind this year - as I stated before, he is retired. Hasn't played on a Major team for the last two years in ASA.

He might want to call the ASA commissioner or player rep for that area. |
Is it any different for "open" ball? Class A, B, C, D ? From what I'm hearing, you are saying that ASA doesn't classify "players" - so without him being on any roster for any team, he should be able to play at any level?
|
Like Mike said, if your husband isn't on a team's roster at the major level this year, he should be eligible to play on your team. Sounds like you better give the commissioner or player rep in your area a call. Sounds like some of the boys are "wimping" out and don't want him playing.

Thanks for the info. We have sent an email to our local commissioner. I appreciate your help!
