National Senior Softball Summit 2005 National Senior Softball Women's Advisory Council recommendations to the Summit January 15, 2005 The SSWAC welcomed three new members: Randy Moses ­ ISF/ISSA Cyndi Winslow ­ alternate LVSSA Karen Charette ­ alternate SSWS Recommendations: 1. Age divisions:    a. Work with the USSSA on true age divisions ­ all other organizations currently either use true age divisions for women or are in transition to that goal    b. Tournament directors offer Masters level divisions for women, 40+ and 45+, to encourage more women to continue to play softball, which will lead to more senior women participating in the future and also lead to more opportunities for women in the Hall of Fame 2. Use 11 defensive players in the 50+ division    a. Three organizations currently use 10    b. Reasons include:       - Less risk for the pitcher       - More participation in the game, Hence better for the game overall To be in effect for this year's championships tourneys, implementation should be by April 1st 3. Keep stats on the names, age groups, and results from all women's tournaments, as well as a list of all-tournament players for each tournament 4. Amend the equalizer rule:    a. Continue to use 5 runs for difference of one age division    b. Use 2 runs for each age division difference after that    c.

Council members will be prepared to assist tournament directors with women's issues at tournaments    a. Introduce themselves to tournament director    b. Present SSWAC identification and have written rules available 6. It is important to have at least 2 umpires for all championship games in all tournaments 7.
