Kind of an odd bracket
C1 and D1 win two to get to the final game while A1, B1, E1, F1 all have to win 3 in a row to get to the championship game? 4 in a row to win it all. C1 & D1 play two then a game break then the championship game. Is game time for game #21 a typo? All other games start at 2:30 that round, game #21 shows start time of 3:30

Are you bored tonight? Two IT games missed in Hemet and you're all over the Bucket causing trouble.... Glad they pulled through those two games...

You know me, if there is trouble I'm either finding it or causing it.

Is it me or does the bracket play seem a little odd?

A lot of good teams here & you'll have to beat them to get to the final so I guess it doesn't matter all that much............unless you're one of the lucky ones who has to play 4 in a row (or more) to win it!

Hopefully the snackbars will be better than Fresno and they don't charge us all $5 a day to watch our kids play!

Snack Bars are Hosted by...
Peralta - OCBB-Ray
Yorba - OCBB-Jesse

OCBB-Ray has hosted several snack bars for showcase tournaments...and food has always been received very well. Jesse may do carne asada...I am not sure...But I know his parents know how to BBQ very well.

The snack bar at Peralta will be going pretty early...7am ish...
Coffee will be brewing and all of the breakfast burrito ingredients will be cooking.
We make the burritos to order...so you get what you want...not pre-assembled.
You know they are good because all of our parents will be eating them as soon as they are ready...We may try to get some tri-tip cooking early and add that option to the burrito.

We always try to have onions grilling on a burner...if we don't ask you if you want some on what you are having...ask us...no extra charge...we'll even put some on your donut if you want.

Our basic menu is...
Breakfast Burritos
Donuts
Muffins

Fruit Cups

Hamburgers / Cheese-Burgers
Hot Dogs
Chicken or Meat Ball Sandwich
Tri-Tip Sandwich
Nachos
Cup Of Noodles

Baked Potatoes

Candy / Chips / Seeds / Corn Nuts

Gatorade / Water / Soda / Coffee / Tea / Hot Chocolate

We will also have game schedules and scores at the snack bar if you are interested in checking.

There will be great snack bars to boot.

===========

Come see some of the Best 12U Fastpitch any where this year. Most of the top So Cal and top Nevada-Arizona Teams are playing.

All games are 1 hour 30 min, no new inning...(Not Drop Dead)
Pool games start at 8am...and are scheduled to begin every 2 hours...last set of pool games start at 6pm.

I thought for sure someone would have at least forecasted the pool results...if not a shot at how the brackets would unfold.

Where has Mr Bracketologist been hiding...maybe on a quiet vacation before Regionals/TCS WS.
He may be there watching your team...analyzing them...is he the guy with a slide ruler and pocket protector...or the guy with a blue cup

My only prediction is that there will be some monster players making monster plays (or pitches) or hitting monster shots.

It looks like it will be pretty hot this weekend.
There is shade at both parks but not necessarily from every where you might view the games.
EZ-E-Ups are great because they protect you from the sun and the foul balls.

Please remember to hydrate the girls and don't forget the spf protection.

Yorba Snack Bar will be having Carne Asada
I believe Mr Doug Finch will also be at Yorba.

Sports Training Complex will have a booth at Peralta...check it out.
Photofire Impressions will also be at Peralta Saturday to take pictures of the action....look for Bill all over the place taking sports shots of the great plays.
