Larry...nice try again..but you are wrong...again. Anyone can post a tournament and say it is an ASA sanctioned tournament...it still has to get approval from an ASA official before it truly is sanctioned. Had you much real experience, you would have known this. Ever notice on ANY FTW or Dallas ASA tourney on VTD that the week of the tournament it would show up on VTD that it WAS sanctioned ASA? That is becasuse the tournament directors request sanctioning after they know the tournament has enough teams to make. Did you have a clue as a tournament director that you have to request sanctioning for each individual tournament you run...before you run it? My guess would be "no"..and I may be wrong...maybe you just forgot. I saw you tourney listed on VTD before it was pulled...never saw official sanctioning from ASA...hmmm seems you didn't do YOUR job to make sure it worked!!
Go ahead Joe, my puppet...respond!! lol

I wondered about this myself. It is hard enough to read through all of those rules. Are you sure the umpires are going to memorize them and then be able to enforce them? Seems like it would be a lot easier to just put an inning limit on the games or just instruct the umpires to cap timeouts in obvious stall situations. Plus this is such a weak B-ball tournament in the Winter. Who cares?

Why don't you just ask them to bring cash Larry...or perhaps they can just make out the checks to your mortgage company or your car loan company....lol

My mistake. You're right. I do remember now seeing a group of 11-12 year old players at the last tournament I attended gathered together after their pool games discussing strategies they could implement to combat the clock stalling issues in NTX.
