I'm glad I'm done as a director!!!!
Good year for me to run!!
It was fun while it lasted! Just couldn't get any help to build the program in MN.
I met a lot of good people in ISA. And some pretty shady ones!!
ISA directors running the World Series do not go by the national rule book and when you question them they don't even have a rule book to go over it with them!!!
Teams from MN that qualified we played the game by the book to the T. And we get to worlds the MN teams always felt behind the wheel.
Classification at worlds in Lower division is horrible
Directors in NC, SC, MD are way off on the teams they send. Those are not E, or Bronze.
Fun times!!!

I am an ISA director and was present at the convention in Tupelo last week. I have also worked at a number of senior events around the country for the past 7 years.
I voted in favor of this rules change and here are my thoughts-
Changing the bat standard without also looking at some other rule modifications would have been a mistake, so a package of rules was passed.
1.21 BPF was approved
Pitchers are required to wear a facemask
The pitcher's box was extended by 4 feet (50-60' is permitted)
Retain the existing courtesy foul rule (courtesy is allowed)
When all other associations are experiencing a decrease in participation, the men's and women's 40s group is growing at a considerable rate.
Our partners in the senior community use the same bat standard, same ball, and similar pitching / pitcher protection rules. They have not seen a rise in injuries- but again, have seen an increase in participation.
