The hillbillies/trolls I was referring to are the hillbillies/trolls that thought they were funny slamming NorCal softball. Pretty lame and ignorant, IMO, especially since local polls were a SoCal tradition until recently.

Coaches, would you prefer an easy bracket on Sat (as Ybarra does) for a few wins followed by a 1 done every Sunday, or tougher bracket on Sat. maybe ending up in the Silver and having a chance for a few games/wins on Sunday? Which is better for a coach/team/player?

Coaches have to know which category their team falls into. If you have NO CHANCE of beating the better teams, you are better off playing in the weaker bracket on Sunday so you get in as many games as possible. If you can play with the better teams, it is much better to get in at least 1 really good game on Saturday and be a 4 seed, or 2 seed(if you lost that good game). It doe nobody any good getting killed game after game, or killing weak teams game after game. IN 12u, it is all about improving, and you cant do that if you are just getting an ass whoopin every game....... so which team are you is the determining factor in answerting your question:)

Only speaking for our team....we would like to play the best competition we can..don't really matter if it's saturday or sunday. If we are traveling (more times than not, we are), paying hotels, tournamemt fees, dinners, etc. than we want to play the best competition we can. If we suck that weekend and don't play our game...it is what it is....if we play our game and roll...it is what it is...

I think ILuvBlue put it well when he said it is the responsibility of the coaches to identify the ability of their team and plan accordingly.

Any word on who won the 12u bit n bit tournament? Looks like KG hitters ran it on Saturday.

KG vs Foothill Gold00 in the gold bracket. Haven't heard who won but someone else on HB said KG was up by 6 when they left. Foothill Gold 01 beat the LTG Lions by 1 in the silver.

[Bob Uecker]

Ok that's good to know, but we all know that the better teams pulled out to play somewhere else. We on the bucket want to know who played who and how did they do.

Storm, Lady Magic, Grapettes-Kahwaty, Hype... who came out on top.

This weekend will be interesting to see where some of our Norcal teams stack up then again in Fresno in a couple of weeks.

I like to see Louie's view of the season. Next week would be half of the season gone by for those that started in January.

All I hear are crickets.
