The Tennessee Horseshoe Pitchers’ Association (THPA) and the Crossville Horseshoe Club (CHC) hosted the second annual Volunteer State Open Horseshoe tournament over the first weekend in June 2007. 127 pitchers from 18 states participated taking home 20 trophies and $9120 in cash prizes. This included the current Woman’s World Champion, Joan Elmore from Mt Juliet, TN and 3 other previous World Champions - Kentucky’s Sue Snyder and Becky Kemper and Florida’s Walter Ray Williams Jr..

The format of the tournament was changed significantly from last year’s format. Everyone was required to qualify for Sunday’s Championship rounds during Saturday‘s Class round robins. Also added was a handicapped championship class consisting of all the class winners from Saturday‘s competition. On Sunday there were 3 championship classes with 30 people pitching for the 3 one thousand dollar first place prizes. Second paid $500, third $250 and 4th $50. (See VSO on pg. 2)

Thirty Foot Championship 40 point games

Sue Snyder repeated as thirty foot champion winning all 7 of her 40 point games. She averaged 85.43% in the championship round. Joan Elmore finished second losing only to Snyder. In class play Snyder defeated Elmore 28 to 6 pitching 92.5% to Elmore’s 75% (40 shoe game). On Sunday they again pitched the final game with Snyder winning 41 to 30 in 96 shoes. Snyder pitched 86.46% ringers in this game to Elmore’s 83.33%. Elmore averaged 83.57% ringers in Saturday’s round robin and 84.33% in the championship round.

Covington, TN’s Marlene Ray won third place both days winning 5 while losing 2 games in class play (80.71% ringers) and 4 & 3 in the championship round (78.9%). Fourth place each day went to CHC’s Bobby Fields (Pikeville, TN) - 4 & 3 (78.21%) on Saturday and 4 & 3 (76.19%) on Sunday. Fields pitched the high game for the tournament (96.15% - 25 of 26 ringers) against Terry Beagle during Sunday’s Championship play.

The 4 other pitchers who qualified for this championship class were Rivers Prewette (NC - 72.34%), Jane Jordan (SC - 64.76%), Terry Beagle (MI - 57.5%) and Sharon Chiddister (IN - 49%). CHC’s and Pikeville’s (TN) Irv Detweiler qualified for this class pitching 72.67% during class play but had another commitment and couldn’t pitch on Sunday. A couple other 30’ pitchers qualified for Sunday but failed to show.

Men’s Championship

40 point games

All 8 men in Class A qualified for Sunday’s Men’s Championship. Tennessee’s Shannon Foster won the Men’s Championship winning 6 of 7 games pitching 74.43% ringers. His only loss was to FL’s Walter Ray Williams Jr. 42 to 27 in his next to last game. At this point Foster was tied with SC’s Tom Westbrook. Foster won his last game against FL’s Ron Deckard 42 to 31 while Walter Ray defeated Westbrook 41 to 30. Westbrook finished third at 5 & 2 with 71.17%. PA’s Mike Creek won second with a 5 & 2 record and 71.43% ringers. Williams finished 4th at 4 & 3 and 71.06%.

Fifth place went to Ron Deckard - 3 & 4 and 66.67%. Maryland’s Chan Herrill finished 6th at 2 & 5 and 65.17%. Walter Mullins from Kentucky finished 7th - 2 & 5 and 64%. Eighth went to Gale Green from Vermont at 1 & 7 and 64.98%. Mike Creek pitched the high game of this round - 44 of 48, 91.67%. The longest game was 86 shoes where Mullins defeated Williams 42 to 39.

Handicap Championship - 40 shoe games - 83% handicapped

Fourteen people pitched in this championship which was designed to allow lower class pitchers to experience a championship round with significant prize money. There were two 7 person round robins with the top two going into a second round robin. Handicap was based on the difference in percentage on what each person pitched in the round robin on Saturday.

TN’s Tommy Wahl was not able to pitch on Sunday so Hershel Walters from IN took his place as second place finisher in the qualifying round. VA’s Charlene Hix had to return home and the second place finisher also was unable to attend so there was no representative from Class J.

TN’s Maxine Griffith (75.42%) and Ohio’s Fred Sanford (26.67%) tied for first in one round robin at 5 & 1. In the other round robin TN’s Mike Cook (30.42%) and Walters (45%) also tied for first at 5 & 1. Crossville, TN’s Lakin Lewis took third in this class at 4 & 2 (32.08%) losing to Hitner and Walter’s. The high game in this initial round robin was Maxine Griffith’s 87.5% (35 out of 40).

The final round robin came down to the last game. Both Cook and Griffith had won their first two games. Griffith had to spot Cook 43 points in this last game. Griffith won this last game 68 to 51 pitching 60% ringers. Cook pitched his worst game of the tournament at 12.5% - ? Pressure? Griffith won this championship and $1100 over the 2 days. Cook took second and $620. Sanford won 3rd place and Walters 4th.

Doubles Tournament - 30 shoe games.

Initially it was planned to use Friday for class play. However, we were able to pitch everyone on Saturday so Friday was not necessary. So an unsanctioned walking (to allow people to use their own shoes) doubles tournament was held at 6 PM on Friday. 56 people entered (actually had to turn a few away) and were partnered with another by Natstat average - high with low.

There were 4 seven team classes who pitched round robins. Bobby Fields and FL’s Charles Gibson won one class. MD’s Chan Herrell and TN’s Willard Williams, Bob Hassan & Bob Carl (CT) and Maxine Griffith and her partner won the other classes. To determine the overall champion a 4 team 30 shoe round robin only determined who finished 4th - Hassan and Carl. The other 3 teams were still tied at 2 and 1. Since it was now past 11 PM, everyone agreed to call the remaining 3 teams co-champions.

Jun 6 - 8th of 2008 are the tentative dates for the third annual VSO. Full results from the 2007 tournament are posted on the CHC website at: www.crossvillehorseshoeclub.com

STATE MEETING AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS

The State Meeting will be held September 8 between rounds during the State Singles Tournament. Election of Officers will take place during the meeting. Up for election are offices of President and 2nd Vice-president. Charles Helton has announced he plans to run for President.. If you plan to nominate someone, please make sure they will be willing to accept the nomination.

Bob Hassan has asked to have the following items discussed.

1. Allow absentee balloting for election of officers and changes like this.

2. Paper ballots for election of Officers.

3. Add the following to the criteria for Pitcher of the Year:

a. Get double points (eg. 20 for first in class) at the Volunteer State Open and the Grady Whaley.

b. Get triple points for State Singles (instead of the current double).

c. Get double points for the World tournament.

d. If a pitcher wins a World Title (mens', women's etc.) 100 extra points.

e. Get 25 points for recruiting each new member who pitches at least 3 tournaments that year. If this pitchers continues the next year and pitches at least 10 tournaments, another 25 points.

f. Get 10 points for participation in the local district senior olympics. Get 20 points for winning gold at the State Senior Olympics, 15 for silver, 10 for bronze and 5 for participation. Finally 50 points for Gold at the National Senior Olympic, 40 for silver, 30 for bronze and 15 for participation.

Rational for these changes: currently the person who attends the most tournaments wins this title (most often). To me this award is like the MVP in baseball, so it should require more than just attendance. Trying to encourage new members would be beneficial to the THPA. Finally more points for our major tournaments may encourage more participation there. Also winning a World title seems pretty important to me in being a MVP.

If you have items you would like to have discussed please give them in writing to the President before the meeting begins.

Sportsmanship Award

During the State Tournament each registered member may get a ballot and vote for a pitcher who they think has shown the most sportsmanship throughout the season from last State Tournament to this State Tournament. Winner will be announced during the State Meeting.

Withdrawing From A Tournament

Recently there have been several cases of people withdrawing from tournaments with no excuse given. There are several reasons a pitcher may withdraw (forfeit) according to NHPA these are the Forfeit Rules:

The NHPA’s RGS rule book in Rule 11. Section G says that “the wins and losses and all statistics accumulated shall remain in the books for a contestant who has to forfeit … for any reason.”

This rule goes on to say that there are two reasons for forfeiting - “approved” and “unapproved”. It also says “If forfeiting for an unapproved reason, this member shall also be subject to a one (1) year suspension from the NHPA.” It also states that this person “shall finish last,“ which means no prize money. This is pretty harsh, so one should be certain that his/her reason for quitting is “approved”.
Who decides? It’s the tournament director. So if it’s necessary that you quit during a tournament, discuss the problem with your tournament director. Injuries and medical issues like dizziness, back pain, chest pain are definitely approved reasons. Quitting because you’re not doing well falls into the unapproved reasons and should be avoided. But the bottom line is get with your tournament director if you can’t continue. Think about this before you walk out of a tournament!

An eight person handicapped Class B was won by James Cooper, followed by Maxine Griffith in 2nd and Frank Jones 3rd. Other pitchers in the class included Irv Detweiler, Het Birchfield, Charles Blevins, Jack Conner, and Melvin Cooper. (Continued next page)

The last tournament of the Winter Season was on March 24, culminating with several awards for participation in the Winter Season. The THPA board voted to let Hassan keep the extra $3.00 per entry during the winter season to use for a “Winter Championship”.

Each class winner received a “unique” trophy with a clock in it.

Joan Elmore, Bobby Fields and Marlene Ray pitched a triple 40 points per game round robbing with Elmore coming out the winner.

Handicapped Class B was won by Irv Detweiler, followed by Frank Jones and Jim Cooper. The rest of the class included Het Birchfield, Charles Blevins, Jack Conner, and Maxine Griffith.

Class C handicapped had Robert Dennis 1st, Hank Irwin 2nd and Bob Hassan 3rd. Joe Thomas, Doug Farnsworth, Jim Sizemore, and DK also pitched in Class C.

PRESIDENT WILL NOT SEEK

RE-ELECTION

Sighting family obligations and family health issues prohibiting me from pitching I (Paula Hunsicker) will not be seeking re-election at the next State Meeting September 9. I have enjoyed my tenure as President and believe the THPA has become a more united organization in the past three years. I have not been able to attend tournaments as I would like and feel the organization needs a President who is more visible. I know that there is a member out there willing to step up and take over with the best interest for the entire THPA.

HANDICAPPING

There has been some controversy over play during handicapped games. The following comes from the Official NHPA Rules.

Section F – Handicapping

Handicapping may be used in open tournaments and in league play. The Tournament/League Officials shall determine the amount of the handicap. Class winners will be determined by win/loss record or by total points. An alternate-pitch format shall be used. For the breaking of ties, the options in Section B (above) may apply, except that ringer percentage shall not be used. Game handicapping shall not be used in any World, National, or Regional Tournament or in the Championship Class of a designated Division of any State Championship Tournament.

Section C – Handicap Rotation

Any game played under any kind of handicap system shall use one of the alternate-pitch formats, described above in Section A-2.

A-2 Alternate First Pitch – Alternate first pitch is used to guarantee each contestant an equal number of first and second pitches during a game. It may also allow for differing pitching conditions. If the game is to be played to a shoe limit, it is recommended that this limit be a number divisible by four (4). Alternate first pitch shall be done in one (1) of three (3) ways:

(a) One contestant shall pitch first in innings 1, 4-5, 8-9, 12-13, 16-17, etc. while the other contestant shall pitch first in innings 2-3, 6-7, 10-11, 14-15, etc. until the game is completed. This is the fairest way and is recommended.

(b) One contestant shall pitch first in innings 1-2, 5-6, 9-10, 13-14, etc. while the other contestant shall pitch first in innings 3-4, 7-8, 11-12, 15-16, etc. until the game is completed.

(c) One contestant shall pitch first from one end of the court, and the opponent shall pitch first from the opposite end.

The easiest and least confusing of these is C. Any tournament director using handicap should needs to remember this. In the past we have pitched handicapped like regular cancellation creating an unfair advantage for a better percentage pitcher
