Never heard of any place in So Cal where you have to pay to park to watch softball.

Guess you are not playing Gold yet.

Granted it's only $1, but if you play (or watch) on the "good fields"

http://surfcitytourneys.com/

you will be paying for parking (a lot more if you wait for Huntington Beach's finest to leave you a bill under your wiper!).

[as the world turns]

The cars broken into at Garfield last year were by a parent on a SoCal team and yes we will beef up security at Garfield this year.

So they must have been arrested if you know they were from So Cal.. That is a good thing.

Must have been Raiders Fans

Go Saints

Didn't know the Soldiers were up there last year . So it was the same person breaking into cars year after year, at hotels, the perv in the restaurant bathroom, busy socal person! Own up to the problem, don't leave anything of value in your car and put your bat bags in the hotel rooms overnight.

Both will have quantity, and I believe both will have quality as well. (Speaking 14U here)
If you dont want to make the drive to Fresno than thats fine, your choice.
You have a different look for So-cal then you get week after week. Nor-cal are excited to see So-cal and not drive another 4-5 hours to do it.
Fresno does have its history of being where California battles each other for years..Can Texas say they have a tourney like that??(only other state with the softball talent spread out over its BIG state) I dont know but have not heard of one like Fresno before..

You have a few teams that are "penciled in for both", like to see where they go.
But you have to say, if you took the top 10 from both tourneys. It would be hard to say which tourney would place higher.
Of course So-Cal has better comp, but you will be surprised by some teams from the Nor-Cal or even some teams from Nevada...I guess nationals will be the deciding factor after all is said and done with...

I was going off Brackies list of the So-Cal teams turbo. I dare not to mess with his wisdom...
Lady Magic Beat PowerSurge in the fall and lost to Angels(not sure which one) over Thanksgiving to finish 2nd. They are a good team, the rest I got of THE LIST. Lil Rebels are a good squad, one of the teams from Reno placed 2nd in Fresno 3 years ago..(yes it was 10U) so there is some options there as well. I hope you make the trip and have to listen to the REC BALL CHEERS all weekend..It would suck for one of those teams to beat you.....(insert evil laugh now)

[Clean_up]

Lady Magic played awesome softball Thanksgiving, beating PowerSurge and other quality teams, they just ran out of steam in the Championship game vs CA 96..

I expect that both tournaments will be good, just some of the strongest So Cal teams have chosen to stay closer to home for whatever reasons. This forum has somehow turned into an us vs them which I personally don't understand, we've always had fun playing in the Force tournament, they've been hosting the event for years now and will continue to host for many more I hope.. jmo..

Oh you will be suprised that is for sure, flaming balls on the helmets, rec ball cheers,

wow - You do know that it was a NoCal team Sorcerer that won 18 Gold last year, right?

Feel free to underestimate ALL teams from NoCal. Seeing that you are probably signed up for one of these tournaments tells me that your little princess is right up out of 12's and busted out a rhyme or two not too long ago. It doesn't mean all NoCal teams are only rec caliber.

The last "flaming ball on helmet" my dd had was when she played in SoCal. Sure it was years ago in 10u, but SoCal none the less.

I WISH we had the options and talent you have in SoCal, but it doesn't mean these girls can't play. It just means we have to drive a few more hundred miles to the competition that you are lucky enough to have in your home town.

Your post did remind me of one of those cheers the younger girls use to sing though..

"I see A-hole out there"

HB or Bust

[hotwheels]

I am not a HATER but we need to be honest here....Just because you do something for a long time doesn't mean you can't make a mistake and a HUGE mistake was made in this tournament planning unfortunately.....This was advertised as the alternative to going to Fresno and then the list in 12's stopped at 17 teams....CRAZY....There are 106 total teams in the 12U division and you have to figure at the very least....50% of the teams would sign up....Then it just stopped at 17.....

Granted, I know if I had known that there was a cutoff I would have mailed my check in......MY FAULT....

I can say this....MG Staff has responded to all of my emails and calls and they are addressing the issue promptly......#1 is on the job.......Who better?

That being said.....Please get us in....

You have to do whats best for your team. Period. Spend your money going north then its less for going east. If its in the plans then GOOD LUCK and bring home the bacon. No one has bad intentions by holding FF or SCF. They are all good people.

[OCwildcatMom]

You are right they are all good pepole but JMO SCF should have stated they were only taking 17 teams in each Div. I think that may have put a different spin on things. You had guys like Under the Radar pumping this thing up with SCF vs. FF poll showing list of whos coming, we all got excited. It looked like a National type tournament.

My DD team made it in but we are kinda bummed that all those teams are not going to be there and this tournament is on the small side and not all the top teams. I am sure the Washington team came down becouse of the huge list I wonder if they are bummed? I hope they get more fields and can host everyone....
