Surf City March Classic

[pride98]

To all the concerned people our check has not been cashed we have been trying to comunicate for the past 3 weeks getting no response. We did not want to get left out not playing. Signed up elsewhere after getting no response for 3 weeks being stuck on the waiting list. Saw we were on the pool schedule thats why the courtesy post to let the other teams know we would not be attending. This is on surf city not us.

Pride, agreed, its on Surf City, not you. It just wasnt clear.

Hope you have already put a stop on the check. Turns out that wasnt laughing I heard from Hay, but wheezing, as he runs to the bank to cash it.

Make sure to spend the 8$ and put a stop payment on that check !

Nope no response from either one of them on several different ema attempts. The only email address i got was under the contact info on the web sight. They do not list a phone number. I understand that just because they recieved payment didnt mean you were guaranteed a spot but a courtesy email back would be nice so you can make alternative plans. Yes you can check the website but doesnt look like they update it much. Might have to take a trip to the tourney to talk to them.

Good luck Gaphitter. Let them know that how they handle their business with Surf City is a direct reflection on how some of us will perceive Premier as well.

Hopefully one of them will come down off the mountain (yes, that's the perception...right or wrong) long enough to respond here.

I look forward to that.

The same thing happen to us last year, no responce from them after trying to get a hold of them for several weeks and no answer till this day and I still haven't heard anything back from them we had to pay to cancel our check to make sure they didn't cash it. A simple email or phone call would be great but i guess that's asking for to much.....

I run tournaments that have almost twice as many teams, work full time and I still return all emails within 24 hours. Not in this tournament but should that day come, I am now warned by the posters on this thread.

Wow what a bad way to run a tournament and for these guys to be cashing checks and not returning the money really sucks.

Dan is also running the Nike Faster to First HS tourney this week in HB. The first games were supposed to be played today and were canceled because the city closed the fields. He posted this earlier today on that tournament's website:

WE RECEIVED A LITTLE OVER A HALF INCH OF RAIN IN A THREE HOUR TIME FRAME LAST NIGHT. THE FIELDS WERE JUST GETTING READY TO BE PLAYED ON FROM THE INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN WE RECEIVED THIS PAST SUNDAY/MONDAY. THE WEATHERMAN IS CALLING FOR MORE RAIN THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE HB SPORTS COMPLEX IS VERY QUESTIONABLE FOR THIS WEEKEND.

He obviously doesn't think they'll be able to use the HB fields tomorrow or Saturday because he has changed the format and moved the games to 6 HS fields.

WE HAVE RESCHEDULE THE TOURNAMENT INTO A POOL PLAY FORMAT, BEING PLAYED AT 6 LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS. WE ARE BEING TOLD MORE SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL ARRIVE ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY MORNING. IF THIS HAPPENS WE WILL RESUME WITH THE SATURDAY SCHEDULE ON THIS POSTED HANDOUT. WE ARE TRYING TO GET EVERYONE SOME GAMES, ESPECIALLY OUR OUT OF AREA TEAMS WHO HAVE TRAVELED SO FAR.

And the hits just keep on a comin'!

These guys are in over their heads. Too bad, I was really hoping to watch DD's team play locally instead of at whatever hellhole ASA's good ole' boys network will have them playing this year.

I just love getting to make the choice between the lesser of two evils.

Sigh...

Oh and by the way Gary and Dan...Don't even think about calling up NumeroUno and blaming your problems on HeyBucket.

Show us all you have some shred of integrity left and apologize to us, your customers, and then do something to fix this mess. We don't want to hear a boatload of excuses either.

The posters here on HeyBucket speak with a lot of people in the softball community. It's up to you and your actions as to what we say about you, your organization and whether or not we will continue to do business with you.

In respect to UNO let's keep it clean and factual. Let's not give anyone a valid complaint on this thread that they can levy at UNO to try to get it removed. I for one have NO personal axe to grind w Dan nor Gary. It just seems whoever is in charge of this particular tourney has dropped the ball LOTS of times.
