2014 PGF 16U & ASA 16Gold Nationals scheduled same week!!

Well ASA has passed a new 16U Gold Division and their plans are to host it near same site as ASA 18U Gold thinking college coaches could easily attend both. However, ASA 18U Gold Nationals is scheduled July 20-26 in OKC and they're saying same dates for 16U Gold at TBA site (hearing in Oklahoma since 18Gold is in OKC). That just happens to be the dates for PGF 16U and 14U Nationals.

I'm not sure ASA is as up to date on the happenings throughout the Travelball industry as they think they are or if they're still living in "Fields of Dreams" and believing that "people will come Ray" because its ASA.

Our team is based close enough to Oklahoma that we would have definitely considered doing both ASA 16Gold and PGF 16U this year. And I think many other top teams would have considered the same. There were several who did both this past summer with both being in Cali back-to-back weeks. But they've eliminated that option.

So now the week of July 20-26, 2014 there will be 64 teams at PGF 16U Nationals, 48-64 16U teams at ASA 16U Gold Nationals. Then you still have USA/ASA 16A Nationals the following week, which ASA doesn't allow teams to play more then one Nationals in a season, so that will be the leftover teams who do not Qualify for ASA 16Gold and maybe some East-Coast 16U teams who Qualify PGF will also choose to play it since its in Virginia.
