When did it become such a pain in the ass just to play ball.

It's just slow pitch softball isn't it?
All of this is really necessary?

HOW TO ADD PLAYERS TO YOUR ROSTER

The system does not distinguish what fields are required for a player to be sent the “Confirmation Code”. The required fields look to be:

1) First and Last Name (as listed in the system)
2) Birthdate (as listed in the system)
3) Email address (not a duplicate but proprietary)
4) Mobile Phone Number (cell not home phone number)
5) Texting Address (same as mobile phone number)

New players to the system will still need State Director approval. A copy of the player’s driver’s license along with their phone number and email address are required to be sent to the State Director. The State Director will do a search then add the player.

After each player receives the Confirmation Code, they will then need to go to USSSA.com, click “Slowpitch” and on the Team Home page in Blue, enter the Code and Phone Number (same Mobile/Cell Number) as the coach provided. Each player must key in the exact information and follow instructions precisely. They will be added to the roster if the information matches what the coach keyed in. Also, there is a time limit of @ 24-48 hours for the player to respond. If they do not respond during this time frame, they will be timed out and the coach will need to resend and another Confirmation Code will be sent.

I can’t emphasize how important the roster information needs to be correct and match what the coach and each player keys in for the player to be added.

When players decided to cheat as they put false information in the system to hide their real classification.

And you really think this is going to stop people from cheating. It just makes it harder for the teams/players that actually follow the rules. Cheaters are gonna find a way around the rules. And where does this leave the guy who just wants to pick-up on a team when he has a free wknd? He's not committed to a team because he can't play all the time. He's just screwed out of playing now?

And thats pretty much the reason softball is dying a slow death

Same team in E and then maybe play D then break up form another E team so basically never make past D always playing down Huch can only do so much!

600 teams have played in Texas already and someone comes after the fact and says it is a pain in the ass to put roster online. You my friend are the very reason this system should be in place

Hi5 is one of the most legit honest D team's I've seen play the past few years. Don't know how you could say that about them. They're just struggling getting there roster uploaded and stating that. Each to there own opinion.
