Fwd: Legends

[Alexander Peters]

Hi Groovy oldsters,

Some of you asked if there had been an actual proposal for the Legends division put forth. Yes there has and it came from me. Here is the usual USAU response to my proposal to have a demonstration division with one team from each region at Nationals. We must push the USAU to be responsive to their membership, which they are not doing. I will try again with Iron's idea for Legends games at 5:30 after regular GGM play.

Thanks To All for their interest.

Big Hugs,

Sas

Hey Sas,

 

Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you I have been out of the office quite a bit this week. We can’t host a “Legends Division” this year at Nationals. Last year with the divisions we hosted we maxed out our field capacity every round on Friday and Saturday and the first couple of rounds on Sunday. If we had the room we would have expanded the Great Grand Masters as there is growing demand in that division. I’m not sure how many “Legends” teams we could muster and if we could would it be enough to hold a division. The Masters field is getting crowded as we are likely to be adding Mixed Grand Masters and Great Grand Masters Women’s in 2021 or 2022. We are already kicking around the idea of making the event four days so we can add additional divisions and more teams. Eventually I can see us getting big enough where we might separate the Masters and Grand Masters Divisions. I definitely will watching and listening as I know our players are getting older and looking for opportunities to play.

 

Thanks,

Byron

Guys and Dolls,

Here is a copy of my correspondence with Byron and USAU on making a Legends division a reality.

Hey Sas,

I know you guys are eager to get into the national Championships but it is not in the cards for this year. As I explained the tournament is at max capacity right now. I had thirty fields last year with games scheduled until 7pm on Friday and Saturday. There are other divisions that are making a push to play.Grand Masters Mixed and Great Grand Masters Women are divisions that are being requested as well. We are looking to maybe expand the event in 2021 but that would be the earliest we might think about adding a division.

We are listening and we have been good about building the Masters Championships up to include six divisions that have a good amount of teams. I expect that we will continue to grow the division in the coming years.

Thanks,

Byron

Hi Byron,

Ironman suggested a possible solution, which I'd like you to consider. How about we have a Legends Demonstration on the fields in front of the Beer tent at 5:30 after other play is finished. Maybe 2 shorter games per day and build from there? Each region will send a team and we'll have a round robin and a championship and we'll have made

History and the players will feel like USAU is listening. I have had at least 100 players email, talk, call about when is Legends happening this year already.

Thanks for Thinking About it,

Sas

For Sunset, I'm sure you could easily get fields during day too.

Which has been the case my entire UF career, by the time they recognize and organize an older division , I’m almost too old to play!
