12u's Playing for Cash Money

[anonlooker]

Good to learn the tournament is going forward, and more importantly that players, teams and organizations won't jeopardize their good standing.

While my OP was a bit of a rant (I'll even cop to "overblown hyperbole"), at least now the due diligence has been done and the kids can play. But now that they can compete for cash prizes, I still can't help but wonder about my central question (and concern) - how far will it go?

Wondering if this is a one off exemption for this tourney only? Or are cash prizes acceptable now in any tournament, is there a cap on prize money, etc.?

The letter from ASA will be interesting in that regard, and I suppose only time will tell how this might affect the game in the long run.

Play Ball!

Anonlooker- This will not affect the game this will help the game. We need to slow down on the negatives and think about the positives. This keeps CASH in your wallet Einstein. That is of course if your team wins. I would hope none of the coaches or parents out there would pull any shady shananigans to turn this into something it's not. It's about the KIDS. Let's keep it that way.

My girls will be ready for this tourney. I have invested in some Killer protein from the Dominican that is supposed to work wonders...... If my team rolls out there with some facial hair don't trip, it's just one of the side effects this protein may cause. Bigger feet, bigger head, more speed........but it's all natural. No different then a B12 shot, atleast that's what I was told by Roger Clemens!!!

I just saw my DD as she came home after practice this afternoon, and I think her team is using the same stuff!

Egads, this should be a great tournament!!

Since many in ball think "getting away with what you can" is in fact part of the game.. if this uberprize/money/"team donation *cough*cough* became a widespread thing (which I dont think it will), there will definitely be that many more shinangans.

There are already shinanagins and people are playing for a tshirt.

You must be a rookie to suggest such nonsense.

Skarp- Are you talking to Big Mamma or Wade??? I'm going to suggest the latter, cause Big Mamma has been around the block many times. C'mon, even "Anonlooker" is changing his/her tune, and he/she started this blog. Sorry partner I don't know your gender....

I admit to people still pulling shananigans, cause that's going to happen in every sport, every age, every job, hell even at your local starbucks and in every other walk of life for that matter. All I can say for the haters is Karma Baby . I just hope for your sake Skarp that you'll be there April 19th and 20th. You will see Big Mamma there that's a fact. My squad is registered. Look at the time of my post it's just after 6am on a saturday. It's becuase I'm a early riser Skarp. Were not playing this weekend, my team and I have been up since 4:30 running wind sprints up and down the I-30 towards Running Springs. They named this highway after my squad Skarp. I've been Running Springs for generations. You think Big Mamma's large Skarp??? I'm just well proportioned.........

See you in the dirt!!!!

Spaz thanks for smacking me. I should know better. Forgot to take my vitamins this morning. As I metioned earlier in this blog I have purchased some killer protein from the dominican for my girls, and memory loss is a potential side effect. I bet you this crap isn't even from the Dominican, it's pry from TJ. Freaking Craig's list!!!
