CA - ASA, TCS, USSSA or Friendliess

I prefer the TCS Tournament because you are informed more often. The only thing I don't like is when they set up pool play playing another pool. Then you have 3 teams going 3-0 in 1 pool and 3 teams going 0-3 in another. It happens more often then you would think. If they are in your pool you should play them. Only complaint about TCS.

Amazing that a team can win their pool with an 0 -3 outing!

Alright, who's been pool hopping again?

We are a bit stuck with TCS in So Ca if you want to get into tournament format. A few others now and again but you can find one TCS a month at least. They need a new format for setting up pools and elimination, in my opinion, or at least how they calc results as a prioir poster mentioned! Spring for balls too at those prices! Friendlies are our bread and butter, ASA is the way!!!

So True. That is entirely the worst thing about TCS(other than paying 500$ and having to bring your own ball WTF?)
My team went 3-0 in BLD Cathedral city and got 2nd in pool. The teams we plowed, went 0-3 and and one of them played two more games than we ultimately ended up playing. How can you go 3-0 (in a pool where all 3 teams went 3-0) and get a tough draw and be done playing, while the 0-3 teams keep going...???? Makes no sense. Play within your pool!
