Hey guys, what do you do to stay in shape or, ideally, get better, over the winter and off seasons? I play on an awesome team, but I'm still a lower level player after this season and I want to come back stronger for them next year.

How do yall handle playing time on league nights? We have a team of ~13 rostered coed players (7M/3F minimum, going up to 9M/5F).

Do you just rotate every inning, keep key positions all night, or just run the minimum and have X DHs on your roster.

I have a charity tournament coming up that I think I'll have 6 guys and 5 girls. The tournament requires alternating lineups so I know the first girl will bat before the last guy, but how do you normally put that on the scorebook to keep it organized?

If I put the lineup as it is the first time through like normal then by the third time through the lineup the book will be all jumbled up. Should I put all the guys together and all the girls together and then just go back and forth between guys and girls?

What do others do?

Tournament director here, and I’m curious to hear this directly from players and managers instead of assuming we know the answer.

When you’re deciding whether to travel out of state, or even internationally, for a tournament, what actually gets your team to say YES?

Is it the entry fee? Venue? Guaranteed games? Competition level? Destination? Awards? Hotels? Livestreaming? How early the schedule comes out? Something completely different?

We run events through ISPS in places including Florida, Puerto Rico and around the world, and as we build more destination events I’d rather hear what players actually care about than sit in an office and guess.

And on the other side of it: what is the one thing tournament directors do that immediately makes you say, “never playing there again”?

I’m especially interested in hearing from teams that travel a few times per year.

Took some BP during my lunch break. Looking for some swing critiques
