It was Bad... Bad Bad Bad Bad Bad. I heard that only half the 14's were told they got cancelled. A lot of teams showed up at 645am to be later told it was cancelled. they took on to much... you live and learn I guess

Sounds like they should of canceled since they had so much to overcome, sometimes its just better for everyone to just throw in the towel!!

Don't matter how many games a team ends up playing. If you take 1st place in your pool and your bracket says you have to play 5 games in a row to win it all then there's something wrong with that picture. What do you think coaches have to do to plan for a 5 game day. Here's food for thought... GIVE YOUR FIRST PLACE TEAMS A BYE!!!

We think you pulled off a great tournament despite all the obstacles. The fields were wonderfully groomed between each game and yes, games ran long but we all know thats going to happen. We too had friends drive over an hour only to be told early Saturday when they arrived at 6:45, that their games were canceled. I'm sure there were many upset parents and players, rightfully so.

We too drove over an hour to play in this tournament. Our girls had school the following day too but we were committed to play all our games for the champion title. We too were tired and had some delays between games that were not on the schedule. We were exhausted for sure, but willing to play that last game for the championship when we were told Corona Angels forfeited.

We did NOT forfeit and were awarded the 1st place champion medals and a trophy that night. We battled each and every game and came out advancing, what a great weekend of softball against super tough, best of the best teams.

No disrespect to Corona Angels but Corona Angels forfeited the champion title by leaving early without playing a final championship game. Forfeiting does NOT afford them the opportunity to be called a co-champion.

Sure sounds like you are calling Corona out????

As I said, NO disrespect and NOT calling anyone out - We are just asking Wicked to call it what it was - they crowned us champions and then a day later we see this post. We were ready and willing and would have gladly played the last game against CA. We wouldve been proud to take home whatever place we earned in that championship game. Let me put it this way - If we would've played that championship game and lost, would they still have called us co-champs? Um no, so how does not even playing earn you that right? That's all I'm asking.

Well in all the tournaments that have not had the Championship played (for time constants & the spirit of what is best for school children) they have always called the 2 finalists Co Champs. Just common knowledge. I have never seen a team thump their chest & say "King Kong aint got S*#t on me" , It is kinda funny that's all.

Our girls worked their butts off and played their hearts out against some top teams - teams that take ASA, PGF etc. We've played these teams before and haven't always come out winning. Nobody thought the underdogs would make it that far. This is a big accomplishment for us and I was simply just asking not to take that away from them. We waited nearly 2 hours to start the last game we played. We stuck around and played despite the long drive, time and school issues. So interpret that however you want, but to be clear - we are NOT beating our chests (what a completely disrespectful reply).
