10u ASA Nationals Bloomington, Indiana

Are you suggesting foul play? Hmmmm! Are those 2 teams you're referring to, the only teams that will play each other at the end of pool play & again in elimination round?

Sounds like Vegas wants to even out the Odds..I'm sure the two teams that you speak of "One will make the Finals" ASA Strategy (Lets make the top teams face each other early & place them in the same bracket so they don't meet up in the Finals) Yeeeaahhhh!! That's the Ticket!!

Foul play? Your words not mine. And actually 9 of the 12 pool finalists were seperated. But why not the other 3? I always thought that if you play a team in the final of your pool. One team goes to the top, the other to the bottom. Also, 6 So Cal teams won their pool. 5 of the 6 pool winners in the top half are from So Cal. The other pool winner in the top half? The Thunderbolts. The best team in the Southeast IMO. While the bottom half has 1 of the 6 pool winners from So Cal. ONE. Foul play? IDK but it sure ain't Fair play. I still think that 2 teams from the top bracket will end up playing for the National Championship. Good luck to ALL our Southern California teams. I hope everyone goes out to support each other.

This is Jeremy Allen coach with the the Louisiana Rippers. For the record I and my fellow coaches do not agree with the statements that were posted on this site. I do not agree or condone this type of trash talking. I will do my best to find out who posted this and address the situation. We as the Ripper organization have nothing but respect for ALL the teams represented here. Please don't judge our coaching staff and girls by the actions of a few idiots that have no idea what they are talking about. I appreciate the opportunity to play the Gamers and The Firecrackers.

Very classy, coach. The girls are lucky to have a guy like you at the helm. There are idiots everywhere, you just happen to have one who's trying to soil your name (at which he is failing miserably). And I wouldn't worry too much about finding out who the moron is, outside of a little announcement. Focus on your girls and handling things in the tourney (which I'm sure you are). Good luck!

Yes, it’s foul play. Look, teams were assigned a section of the bracket. So no matter what the “blind draw” is, teams were only allowed to drawn from their assigned side of the bracket. CA01 and Mizuno, no matter what their “blind draw” was, they were going to be in the same portion of the bracket, as that’s where they were assigned. FC01 and Gamers 01, no matter what they drew, they were only allowed to draw from spaces in the top quarter of the bracket. The only team that has it a “easier” is So Cal Athletics. They are the only So Cal team in the bottom ½ of bracket. I’m not a team hater, so all So Cal teams wish So Cal A’s good luck in the bottom bracket, kick butt, clean house and represent Cali Softball!!! Get to the ship, the road should be crystal clear, other than the Rippers, there should be no one in your way. As for the Top ½ of bracket, the following teams will be forced to knock out each other: Gamers 01, FC01 CA01, Mizuno, Case BB, Power Surge 01, Breakers 01.

No wonder why ASA is doomed. PGF, please continue to have a 12u division next season. Let our families from So Cal save about $6K and stay home and play teams from our own backyards.


Good luck to all teams from all states that deserved to be here, but here's to an all So Cal championship: Let's go Case BB, FC01, Gamers, Mizuno, Breakers, CA01, and So Cal A's and Not to mention Mizuno AA from Nor Cal.

Did anyone witness Gamers 01 coaches, parents and girls cheering on FC01 from the stands during their ITB win over Texas Easton Elite? Then after the Firecrackers victory, we heard the FC01 coaches, girls and parents went over to cheer on the Gamers during their game. Yes, all the parents on So Cal teams yap and jar at each other all year long, but when it comes down to it, the coaches and girls are supportive of each other. Great camaraderie!

I encourage all So cal teams to let John Trunbullshit know how they really feel about this. And ask him to explain himself. And give him a hard time, just like he is doing to our teams. If you don't know who he is. He is the chicken legged, bald headed guy with the Bloomington parks and rec shirt.

Congrats to all the So Cal teams that won today's 6pm games. And advance in the winner's bracket.

Firecrackers over Gamers
Corona Angels over Stingers Gold
Team Mizuno over Texas Elite Easton
So Cal Athletics over Indiana Gators

I encourage all So Cal teams to come out and cheer for our teams tomorrow. Two BIG games at 4pm for our teams. And they will need all the support they can get.

Firecrackers move on to play the best team in Alabama and the Southeast. The Birmingham Thunderbolts who knocked Case Batbusters in the loser's bracket.

So Cal Athletics move on to play Easton Elite Heat. The best team from Georgia and the 2nd best team from the Southeast.

Another all So Cal matchup that should be a great game. Team Mizuno vs. Corona Angels. Good luck to both of you.
