Oh, did I fail to mention that in most tournaments we played, home team was required to supply two new balls?

We don't need no stinkin' balls! That leaves more money for beer.

One of my favorite tournaments from back in my olden days in TX was a slowpitch tournament where each team had to supply two balls for each game.

Each ball was carefully marked, and the TD would require the team to either pitch what they brought OR hit what they brought...but they would never know for sure which they would get to do until the plate conference. There were minimal requirements...blue dots, black dots, various COR and stuff...made for a very interesting and fun weekend.

Hate those type of tournament rules. AFA I'm concerned, the ball that comes out of my bag is the ball with which we are playing. Don't like the ball, hit it out of play (especially if it's a 1-pitch tournament )
