12U State Games and Updated Info.

What i meant by the berths system of being handed out is broken is that if the games are not played because the tourmamnet is cancelled due to lack of teams or for any other reason, dont just give out the berths to the 2 teams that signed up and didnt have berths. take those berths and add them to regionals up in roseville or add them to the clovis qualifier in july. I dont remember the name of the MICKEY MOUSE tournament, but i do know it was NOT called THE PAY $800 DOLLARS AND GO TO BAMA TOURNAMENT. Yes i agree Punishers deserve to go, but they could of chased one around northern Cal and got one anyways... this just made it easier for them....now the other berth given out----i know this team and in NO am i hating on them in anyway. but they are not even close to competing at NATIONALS, they are recently coming straight out of rec ball and are another year away from competing, getting better but dont we all want the best teams in BAMA and maybe even a few that can surprise people when playing well. I know as a fan of the sport i do.

I got love for the punishers and think they r better than most of the so cal teams qualified for nationals.... I'm happy they got their berth so my team doesn't have to play them at regionals

Ok WHAT THE, do the girls do the chest pounding or the PARENTS ??? . the last time i checked the girls play the games not the parents. i'll give you the fact they didnt have a good tournament,but they still belong whether you or me like them or not. just my opinion


oh ya SOFBAL1234, my haters comment was not directed at you at all, was an in general comment for all

Whoa there BD24... I was specifically called out by fpd05 on a question regarding the A.P's and all the hate towards them. Nothing personal, just one aspect of my point of view why i'm not too fond of their team... No hard feelings at all k!? I'm trying to clean up my act over here and this ain't helping so just pull back a lil bit aight!

Big D 24 - Those 4 teams that signed up for the Citrus Classic thought ahead - ASA should have done a better job of marketing the tourney. They may have gotten more teams that way. You haven't said anything about the "other" team that got a berth there. By the way, I believe the tournement fees - were returned. I miss 12's it's not as much fun in the 16U showcase world - it's a grind.

I have no problems with the Punishers at all. I think the girls are great and do belong in Bama. It was funny listening to a few parents pounding their chest but Im sure that humble pie has changed that. Closer was right, playing with that "target" is tough. Yes, there are a few qualified teams that will absolutely struggle in Bama. Punishers NEEDS to be there and help SoCal represent.

[Luv_SC]

What no fees are kept or anything. So they would get the berth for pretty much free? I think in the past ASA kept the reg fee or some of it. Its been a few years since I handled that kind of stuff but would be suprised if they refunded all the money.

As for the Punishers their parents brought it on themselves. If you are going to come here and build up your team better have them perform. We know the girls play and are the ones who do the work so why come on this board and talk about how you "punish" people and all that other BS? The draw can change many things and definitely is a factor. I think the Punishers said if you cant get a berth at states why bother. Well guess thats one they want to take back. My thing is always great to beat the teams most say you shouldnt but what good does that do if you cant beat the ones you should. Nationals is a different kind of beast and if states was bad just wait. There every California team will be the hunted one and if your going to thump better be prepared to deal with what comes with that.

Dont want to say I told you so but guess we will see in Bama. Long and very expensive trip to take if you want a vacation I suggest Disneyworld, no disrespect but Montgomery isn't fun.
