2019 USSSA Hall of Fame Dual bracket and team list links

The 2019 Nationwide Conference USSSA season kicks into high gear this coming Thursday, April 11th at 8 AM Eastern time with a 34 team double elimination tournament which will end with the championship game being played on Friday night.  And then starting Friday night and ending Sunday the same 34 teams will play another double elimination tournament.  All 34 teams are from the Nationwide Conference USSSA series and they come from 19 different states!   If you are doing the math at home this tournament is worth 150 + (34 x 4) = 286 points to the winner of each event.  All 4 of the Major teams and 27 'AA/A' teams will be there.   The tournament is being held at the USSSA headquarters in Viera, Florida at the Space Coast Stadium Complex with its 5 baseball fields including the Stadium and has 325-365-385-365-325 dimensions.  Only the baseball fields are on this years schedule and they will use the Dudley ZN Stadium ball.

This is the "Daytona 500" of softball, the most impressive team list of any Major level event in the World.  TDB/Racks won the opener in Las Vegas and Smash It/Pure Sports won in Houston this past weekend.  .

On the softballcenter.com homepage we will have a chat room open during the tournament for questions and updates.  The chat room page also has links to the brackets, links to the USSSALive.com livestream page and more.  

The USSSA livestreams can be found at USSSALive.com   They will have multiple cameras on the Stadium field for select games and most other fields will be covered by a single stationary camera.    

Games will be streamed on USSSALive.com

Team Pictures, Managers Meeting, and Stats!

 

This picture that Nightmare had taken at the Houston Major shows how the front row should kneel and the back row adjusted by height. 

 

Reminder that all teams need to get their team picture taken by me (DW) at some point during a day game for best results.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.   

Remember also the managers meeting at 7 PM Wednesday at Space Coast Stadium

Stats:
 – Remember that a fielders choice is scored as an out for the batter, not a single.
 – Sacrifice fly's, even game winners, are scored as outs and count as a plate appearance.  No exceptions.
 – All outs in each game must be accounted for and visible on the scoresheets for players to be eligible for conference awards.  If your team bats 6 innings, you must have 18 outs accounted for.  If your team bats 7 innings you must have 21 outs accounted for.  If your team run rules your opponent in the 6th inning with 2 outs then you mush have 17 outs accounted for.   And remember you have to take a picture or a scan of each of your score sheets and email them to dale.weiser@usssa.com as well as send the stat totals spreadsheet in excel form.

Shea Nation's Picks

34 Nationwide Conference USSSA teams will be in attendance at this weekend's CUSSSA Hall of Fame Classic Dual Major at the Space Coast Complex in Viera, FL.  There will be 4 major, 9 AA, 17 A and 4 B teams in attendance. The favorites will be one of the 4 major teams: Dan Smith/Menosse/Steven Smith/FAI; Resmondo/SIS/RDD/H.Auto/Sprizzi/S&S; Smash it/ Pure Sports/ OA; TDB/Racks.

Miken Dual I Predictions:  With the best 34 slow pitch softball teams in attendance you will have some great matchups.  So might as well start watching with Game #3 at 8 am EST on Red Rawlings with Nightmare looking to get revenge from the Space City Major against Thunder.  The Final Four should also be a rematch from the Sin City Major between TDB versus Dan Smith and Resmondo versus Smash It/Pure.  I predict Dan Smith and Resmondo to both get revenge on the Stadium and meet for the undefeated game.  In the loser's bracket, I predict Nightmare and Thunder to win 4 and 3 games respectively before losing on Friday morning to finish 9th.  

Shea's Miken Dual I final picks are:
1. Resmondo/SIS/RDD/H.Auto/Sprizzi/S&S
2. Dan Smith/Menosse/Steven Smith/FAI
3. TDB/Racks
4. Smash it/ Pure Sports/ OA
5. Xtreme/Miken/ASP/Athlon
    BayArea/Rapid Fire/Bad Draw/Easton
