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

[watchtonsofsoftball]

RR gold should be ashamed of themselves for charging gate fees at a FRIENDLY. Are you freakin' kiddin' me? I know they pay attention to HB, so I hope they are getting the message. Also , I love how they keep moving the date of when they are going to start a team list for upcoming tournaments. And now it says the 16th it will be updated, even though nothing has been posted and its the 22nd. Just a lack of organization through and throughout. I hope the tournament consists of the grapettes 12 million teams playing against RR golds' 12 million teams. What a freakin JOKE. When will we all pick up our ball and go home?
(sorry if your kid plays for either team)

Some teams have already done so. Others will see the light and follow. Then the R&R TD can ban himself for arrogance and poor tournament management.

Very well said Sounds as if you have played in the R&R Tourney's.

Wilson - No, but I have witnessed a few as I love fp softball. I am also going by what people have been saying on this site about poor field conditions, threats of banishment, gate fees and more. I'm glad that they now have competition...that never hurts a situation where a purveyor of a product or service loses contact with his customer or client base. It's the American way, as corny as that might sound.

[watchtonsofsoftball]

For $115 bucks more you get a 6 game guarantee , and 1:30 no new inning. A better deal for the money
And Blue....it is tourney format. Single elimination on monday.

[Iluvblue]

So i will ask again... is the 18u/Gold , whatever it is going to be classified as, going to be playing games on Monday as well? That is not what i was told.

[watchtonsofsoftball]

From what I've heard 18G is tournament format as well. I haven't heard otherwise. I guess I can email Gary directly. I cant see the point in the summer of showcasing when your trying to get ready for championship play. Two different animals.

I agree, but that hasnt stopped anyone from running "Showcase" format tourneys when there isnt a coach with in100 miles of the games.

I was told by a Gold coach on the list of teams scheduled to attend that Gold was not playing on Monday.
