BLD League City Question

I am going to be playing in the Derricks and Diamonds tourny in April and was wondering if anyone knew if BLD typically runs their tourny's under a certain association. I couldn't find any info on the Derricks and Diamonds website.

I ask because all I play is ASA in The Woodlands and if I need to pick up a utrip bat before hand I am glad to do it.

Thanks in advance fellas.

This must be a private event. I suggest you contact BLD directly. The park allows you to swing USSSA and ASA bats in league and most of the tourneys are USSSA that are held there. If they don't know I would call the individual hosting the tourney.

Hope this helps.

BLD league is NSA I think. You can use utrip bats. I think I saw in one of the team photos here at Schlumberger some utrip bats. I wouldn't go out and buy anything just for that tournament though. If you are comfortable swinging ASA stick with it. Who are you playing/work for? I am trying to get on one of the Schlumberger teams, but dont know who to talk to about it.

I used to work at Deloitte, we audit a bunch of the oilfield companies here in Houston, so I will be playing on one of those teams.

I know Schlumberger should have quite a few teams, both of my parents work there and we were talking about it this weekend, unfortunately I don't know anyone there with a team.

I may not buy a bat if its utrip or ASA, but if for some reason they didnt care what bats out there I was thinking about picking up a senior league bat. ;) But i doubt that is the case.

See that is what I was wondering? We are a contractor for many oilfield compnaies. Doubt I could put a team together but was not sure if I would be eligable to play with another team should I find one to play with.:rolleyes:

I use to work with NOV and helped run the derricks and diamonds event the year before last. I believe its NSA but noone protested people for using other bats.

This is more of a laid back tournament. Everyone is raising funds for texas childrens hospital. And yes, very expensive to enter but usually company floats the tab.

I would like to play in this as well. I no longer work for NOV now im working for Baker and baker doesnt participate.

Its a co-ed tournament as well.

Baker participates in everything, they dont have a team in this?? If I am correct it used to be $5K / team.

Yes *****, it does take a real man to sell to the oil patch, these ***** out sessions are where real men are made :D, then we make it up to them with golf, lunch and sporting events :D

I think you are right I did not see any association on it but it was asa pitching with the mat and 1.20 bpf bats. lots of asa bats and hammers out there it is more for fun than anything

I was talking to a friend of mine who played last year and he said they have like a safety home plate and if you cross a line rounding third you have to go all the way and play becomes a force. Just little things like that to keep it safe.

I've tried to get my company a team in this for the last five years. 5 grand for a team is a bit steep...even for my company. I've hit in the derby a couple of times but never had a team in. Sometimes it is the same weekend as Bud.
