[Softball Papa]

Stage 1 is this weekend in College Station. Schedule for pool games have been released (link below). Single elimination is always tough. Good luck to all the participating teams!

Single elim one day usually comes down to who has a deep enough pitching staff to handle potentially 4-5 games back to back or who can get enough of a lead to save pitching staff. 10s doesn't have as many teams so shouldn't be as big a deal. 12s is a little deeper with 28. 14s - 45 teams. Any speculation on who has a deep enough staff? More than a single "ace"? No question the bats must show up, but these are historically some good teams and there should be some great games. Does anyone know how well the game scores are usually kept up on the website for those of us that can't be there?

Good luck to all!!!

TournamentASA has a mobile app for inputting scores, so there's really no excuse for them not to be current.

There doesn't appear to be any "weak" teams in 12U. It's gonna be a battle!!

Tx Storm wins in 14u. Beat the Bombers 10-2 in CS Game.

In the top 8 of 14U No, Storm played great ball this weekend and it was thier week. Bombers were on a terror all weekend and just came up flat in the ship. Any of those in the top 8 deserved to be there and should make for a good series.

Bombers always have strong teams>>> What about 12u and 10u?

Good luck and safe travls to everyone making the trip to Houston..... Who's the fav.?
