I didn't realize that the invite process had changed... Or I guess that would actually equate to "earning" a bid and not really an invite, but regardless, does anyone know how this works?
My understanding is top 7 in all ages. Originally heard top 3 which would equate to 4 teams in every age. Maybe PGF can clarify?
It would be nice to reward top 4 only and make all others earn a berth. Before I continue, I have zero issues with any team; but hearing about teams getting berths handed out after failing to qualify really takes away the accomplishments of those teams that earned a berth? Bownet has a solid team but didn't qualify yet I watched them in premier? They had 74 players too!!! Irvine Sting? I watched them too and they should've been in platinum? How did Pure Fastpitch get into platinum? Not by playing into PGF? These examples make one wonder if this is just the good ole boys club? PF and Sting didn't back in by playing enough qualifiers either, so why them and not others?
Congrats to all those teams that went out and earned a berth to PGF!!! Well done ladies.
