First Week of Senior Games

Putting up schedules and information for everyone to see after they register for the games.

The umpires had to check every new game to make sure everyone had registered that was playing.

We were really looking forward to the Huntsman Senior Games, this is John's last year at seeding the softball games??? . There are 340 teams this year, counting both weeks. The first week is the fullest and the hardest to find enough volunteers to help, especially with softball.
NO ONE EXPECTED the weather to be so HORRIBLE. It started to rain a little Friday, more Saturday and when we were registering Sunday is was still raining. The games started Monday at 8:30 a.m.
Our Salty Dogs played at 8:30 a.m. and again at 9:50 . By the time the last inning was over it had started to rain, pour and lots of lightning. The rest of the games were rained out that day. The rain continued and Tuesday we were lucky and got in another game and that was the end; the rest were rained out again. They moved the opening ceremonies into the Burns Arena at the college. There were about 120+ games rained out and there were several teams who didn't play a game when they tried to seed for the brackets. Most of the teams were understanding , we had no control over the weather but there were teams very upset. It was hard on John,Doug and Bill.
The last two days were pleasant and they hope the 2nd week would be like their "normal" weeks in the past.
