What bums.
Seriously, the guy didnt even buy beer WTF
What bums.
So Lance allowed old bats at the NIT in sac saturday. I protested two bats and was told basically to shutup. Emailed Lance(since he wasn't at the tourney) and told him he was incorrect with his bat rules. He told me some bats were grandfathered in with the new rules lol og stadiums being one of them because it has "a stamp on the taper" I may post the emails we are sending back and forth. They are getting comical...I should buy an ultra and shave it for his next tourney...it's got stamps right???
ME:
Lance please get your bat rules figured out. Your director at the sac NIT today was misinformed and was once again allowing old bats to be used. I called 2 different teams out on it and all the umpires did was ask them not to use the bat. One of the games the batter had an rbi with two outs and we lost by 1 run. Below is a link to the usssa bat rules. IT WAS UPDATED 2/1/12 WITH THE CORRECT INFO!!! Please note where it says after January 1, 2013 the new stamp must be displayed. The bat in question both times was an original demarini stadium, silver/maroon. It literally cost us a game today and that is unacceptable with the money and stakes of an NIT.

Lance:
incorrect my friend
I print out the rules from national
I have dealt with this issue for 6 months correctly
Many players are miss informed of how the rule reads
I even print out the rules from National to have at the tournament for everyone to see
The rule is not a new bat
We have done everything in our power to make it a a fair playing field for all teams
USSSA is the only association doing anything to clean up the game
Thanks Lance Oliver
Me:
Did you even look at the link i provided you? Please tell me where on an original demarini stadium is the new 2013 stamp? What is the point of a new bat standard if you allow bats that are 5 and 6 years old?
Lance:
Kevin
Not sure what your getting at.
I do NOT make the rules
I only follow the rules USSSA has provided me
The link is exactly what I print out for all my teams that play
6 months with the new bat policy
Some new bats aren't legal. Some are
Some older bats were grandfathered in, some weren't
I have no control my friend. Only the enforcer
Thanks Lance Oliver
Me:
Effective January 1, 2013 all bats must have the new usssa stamp or be a wood bat. - quoted from usssa.coms bat rules guidelines.
Explain to me how that allows for grandfathering of bats that do not have the new stamp?
I never got a reply after that but I forwarded the conversation to McKinley and he has asked me to call him. Didn't have time today but I should tomorrow.
It seems like you are having a conversation with the wall. He addressed none of your points but was repeating the same thing over and over again to make himself believe that he knew what he was talking about.
It seems like the umpires in Lance's tourneys have their old set of rules on each field./
They should just make norcal utrip tourneys, outlaw tourneys. Anything goes !
No one here wins?
Anybody know who won sandbag states last weekend in manteca?
Seth whats the story behind the bottom of your sig?
I thought you were frozen if you won states? If so, im sure a couple of them were frozen on last weeks D team after winning states. I could be wrong. That and I don't really give a ****. Just thought I knew something.
Kiki was joking that if we played GWB last weekend that he was gonna blow middle and let out a bigger oooooopppppp than Martin did in Antioch. I was gonna yell Hit it harder.
