16U invitations for Nationals

[Tony]

I understand that Premier is giving births to teams that have qualified for ASA Nationals. Wondering why they can't fill it up without stepping on toes from another organization.

Havent you heard? It isnt about trying to piss off ASA - its all about hot chicks in cat women suits. Please try to keep up.

Would like to stop the rumors that if you don't except the invitation from PGF then you won't be asked again. Has anyone been told this?

Supposedly, there won't be invitations after this year, although I expect they'll do it for 12u next year to get it off the ground.

Are you asking if the invitations exceptional, acceptable, or non-turn-downable?

No one would be forcing the team to take the BERTH if they didn't want it.
Some of these posts are like picking fly shit out of the pepper.

duuuh, OP didn't say or imply the team being offered the berth had to take it. OP just implied it was C.S. of Payola Girls Fastpitch to do so.

Try to keep up.

hey, thats my line.

Ben, worser is still worser. In Midland, where ASA knows it will be 100+, you cant bring food or drink into the softball complex. You are there for 2 full days prior to the 1st pitch. Its a complete money grab by ASA. That fact is indisputable.

At some point you have to cut PGF some slack and allow them to get this off the ground. They have already eliminated protection in the draw. Be reasonable and give them a chance to respond and adapt to issues that arise in year two, then you can start plucking feathers and heating up the oil. If they dont listen, you will have help.
