We played vegas blast our second game on sunday and talk about home field advantage !!! the blue did everything he could besides give them runs!!! I know everyone complains about the strikes zones inconsistent or one sided but when the coach comes to me between innings and says sorry about the umpire with out me even talking to him you know he was feeling guilty. I have never had so many calls overturned after the coach argues with the umpire and ALL and any calls went LV Blast way.I asked one of my players where the 3rd strike was on our hitter and she said along with parents from another socal team said the ball was in ther other batters box. We won the games in international tie breaker but we definitely played against ten players on the field.

Great games, great fields, horrible wind on Saturday, better on Sunday. There was so much dirt from the fields everywhere. Still, it was a great weekend! Congrats to Team Anderson 12U!

Gaphitter you are so right. Those umpires were so pathetic with make believe strike zones, bad calls on the base paths and those imaginary check swings for strikes. We had two games that seems like we were playing against 11 players (9 players and two pathertic umpires). We were lucky to win 1 pool play and those bad calls were against us playing the Las Vegas teams.

loved the popflys to ss that landed in the 3-4 hole. just little gust of saturday afternoon wind. the look on the 2b was priceless after going far to her right only to stop and start running towards 1b for the impossible attempt on the flyball. . base running was interesting also going into 40mph winds and also running with the wind had the girls appear as though they were running downhill.

The Paddy’s Day tournament in Vegas was a great time; hope to participate in next year’s. Saw a lot of good softball being played by good teams and up comers. Congratulations to Team Anderson Sota for hitting black jack and winning it all. You have to be impressed that they survived the gauntlet of death by beating some extremely good teams towards the end.

The pro of the tournament: The fields were in great conditions and properly prepped for upcoming games. Snack bar was decent and served a nice breakfast burrito to help fight off that hangover. The games were well organized and kept on schedule.

My recommendations for next year: Avoid the weekend of time change; losing that hour of sleep in Vegas nearly killed me. Find some way to turn off those wind fans; that 40+ mph wind nearly sand blasted the tattoo off one of our parents arm. It sure was deathly cold and windy on fields 5 - 6. Also, try and get someone to update the brackets online at the end of day 1; some of us would like to know if our team covered the spread.

Met the guys from Vegas Blast who stayed up late the night before preparing the facility for the weekend. Seemed like good guys and HB followers. Hate to read about the umpires in the previous posts and hope it was a little exaggeration. I left the tournament with a good impression.

Were there any surprises as far as what team did better and who didn’t performed as expected?
