***NEW TOURNAMENT OPTION FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND***

[Old Darter]

Wow, how foolish could R&R and the Grapes be? Don't they understand it's the teams that gives the tourney its name,not the TD? If you "ban" teams like the Sorcerers, Magic, Comets and Breeze from the fall showcase, they are going to do one of two things: 1) travel down south or 2) start their own (are you listening GSSA) fall showcase. If #2 happens, who suffers? Not the kids, there's MORE choice and opportunities. Seems to me R&R and Grapes have everything to lose by taking the "play in my house or be banned" attitude!

IM sorry, but I skipped out on the political correctness class in college. Anyone who is involved in fastpitch knows what I mean. That is no reflection on ANY YOUNG lady. parent, coach, sibling, pet hamster, or car they drive.

Dont male something out of nothing. Would you be happier had I said, "Stuck playing a team that cant field, throw, catch, hit, or otherwise do anything close to resemble playing good softball?"

We all want to play quality teams, and quality means GOOD ON THE FIELD.

OK blue......are ya gonna pencil in, for the sac tournament?
Come on, your holding out! Or were you threatened by RR Gold TD too! (just alittle prod since I know you wont be threatened)
You say you like tourney format! Got Breeze, Sorcerers, Lady Magic, Mizuno and others already in!
You said you want quality on the field!!!

I thought that the sac tourney was not doing tourney format for the gold teams.... just 5 games??? better double check that as I had a Gold coach tell me they didnt want tourney format for Sunday???

It is Jan, I am in no hurry:)

I can guarentee that RR TD doesn't get it! Just look at this past weekend friendlies that were held at mcnair. Absolutely some of the worst field conditions for the players. I could not believe what I was seeing, all for the mighty buck. I actually overheard TD saying how glad he was to get this in, in stockton so he didn't have to travel to Rainbow, because she charges to much out there. Hell, let alone the fees to play there was a gate fee as well. Now you tell me, is the message getting through?!! Don't think so. RR is a JOKE anymore and can't for the life of me figure out why people go back. And alot of the really good Teams from Norcal go down south to play good competition, instead of playing BAD teams from around NorCal. Can't say I blame them either.

Cheeto, the RR Gold TD will never get it cause it's all about the money. Making teams join IFA to play in his tournaments - what they heck is IFA and why would anyone want to be a member? Well, it's the association his Gold team qualifies for to play in a "nationals." Now that's real big league. Banning teams from his future tournaments if they play in the Sacto Memorial Day event - is that really a penalty? I would compare that with being prohibited from honeymooning in Tijuana. As you say, one or more of NorCal's best gold teams appears to have banned themselves by skipping his pooly-run events.

"let alone the fees to play there was a gate fee as well."


This must be a misprint! Tell me there wasn't a gate fee for a friendly?! Please tell me this is a misprint!!!

[Cheeto]

Yes there was. Absolutely unbelievable. Welcom to NorCal. Home of the Bleed out!!
