2012 WORLD TOURNAMENT IN KNOXVILLE, TN!

TENNESSEE CLAIMS A WORLD CHAMPION AND TWO WORLD CLASS CHAMPIONS!

It was back to back World Championships for Joan Elmore, her 5th in six years. She suffered only one loss to another Tennessee pitcher, Mar Ray. Ray went on to also beat Sue Snyder giving Elmore the Championship outright preventing a playoff. Ray finished 2nd making it 1 – 2 for Tennessee in the Women’s World Championship. Max Griffith had to withdraw due to an injury.

World Class Champions from Tennessee were Craig Schadler in Elder’s C and Danny Neely Eleders Class F.

In the Elder’s Championship’s, Bobby Fields finished 4th, Doug Farnsworth 9th and Charles Gray 12th.

Other pitchers from Tennessee included: Frank Jones 8th Elder’s D, Floyd Maxwell 2nd Senior Men’s D, and Jo Ann Stanford, Women’s 9th in Women’s Class E.

Congratulations to all our Tennessee Pitchers. You represented our state well!

TENNESSE WINS 2nd STRAIT TEAM WORLD TITLE!

Coming through the final 15 round preliminaries on Sunday with An untouchable lead, the Tennessee Team of Joan Elmore, Mar Ray, Max Griffith, James Cooper and Manager/Coach Paula Hunsicker, just had to wait to see how the other teams would be seeded in the ladder playoffs. Team Indiana worked their way to the finals only to lose to 3 – 1 to Tennessee. Good job Team Tennessee!

Proposal #3 Submitted by JoAnn Stanford

Currently $3.00 from each entry is allotted for the State Singles and the State Doubles is run like any other tournament. I propose that $.50 be allotted from the State singles payout ($3.00) from each entry up until the cutoff date for the Doubles tournament in order to supplement the State Doubles Payout. This year this would have generated $200.00 added to Payout for State Doubles Payback. (37 tournaments) (includes the 9 Fall tournaments of 2011)

Proposal #4 Submitted by Joan Elmore

World Tournament Entry Fees for the Men’s, Women’s and Elder’s State Champions to be paid for by the Tennessee Charter. (Many states due this)

Proposal #5 Submitted by JoAnn Stanford

Change State Meeting time to 9:00AM before pitching begins.

PASSED PROPOSALS VOTED ON BY THE MEMBERSHIP WILL STAND AND MAY NOT BE CHANGED BY THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
