Speaking of not seeing...

Nice try dadof4rbbm!
Bottom line is most of the lower level teams(10's thur. 14's) that travel to so Cal do so to compete vs. the big girls? traveling and spending that kind of money to play teams they see all the time is just not right no matter what you believe. Does not matter for the showcase teams because they go to be seen by colleges.

I am sure that the schedule had something to do with the directors decision, but the teams should have had an option? maybe they did and they chose the later games? I don't know.

But again your response shows your soCal elitists position on us lowly norcal teams.By the way some of the negative responses were from socal parents.

Good job lv2earat8!!! Obviously dadof4 doesn't like when people call out his/her ASA BS!!!
So Cal in the house!!! Got yer backs holmey's!!!

Really???????? somewhere between 70-90 teams showing up for a tournament and 5 people online having a bitchfest. It appears you are the minority not the majority "homey".

Really homey

Bitch fest? Well hardly! Just a discussion amongst people here with some concerns. I don't see anyone getting out of hand.....Interesting that you opened an account just to comment on this thread...If you know the people who are commenting they have been around the game for a while. No one bashed your volunteers that put their hard work into into it. But obiviously you need look at your volunteer that does the pools next year so it doesn't happen again. I think you are taking this thread very untra sensitive to say the least! ie.. drag through the mud, we never move forward, bashing volunteers,.....it's all in your interpretation...easy to see that your volunteer TD abviously stuck all Nor Cal teams in one pool deliberately....Plus if this was a free tourney I'm sure no one would have any concerns.

Mr. Monday: I have been around the game for 29 years and played it for 24 years. There is nothing interesting about opening an account and commenting. Isn't that what you did the first time you signed in, was make a comment. They are not MY volunteers, I just know that this tournament benefits girls like me who would not have had the opportunity to go to college without scholarship programs like this from ASA. The more haters that write information on forums like this bashing these kind of tournaments are the same people that will ruin it for all and have tournaments like these no longer exist. The only people that get hurt then are the countless number of youth that want a bright future. So yes I get steamed when people write that volunteers who give of their time to help youth not sit in front of their computers and just comment on it, get blamed for deliberately having teams play against each other. My answer to the problem would be this, you dont like it, dont come and keep your kid at home.

Anyone want to give an opinion on who the top 5 finishers will be in 14U?

NO S#!T!!!!!

Did anyone think that it may have been a blind draw and that's just the way it worked out?
I remember back in 12u every tournament we played we either had Anderson or Impact in our pool or they had each other, both of which were highly regarded teams that always seemed to fight through to the finals. It sucked to always have to face them in pool play. They did not do any "seeding" or "protecting" they just drew teams and that was who you played. Sometimes it just works out that way with no nefarious intentions.

I would maybe go for this logic Spazsdad, but if you look at the 12U division (in Pool I), there were 3 teams originally in it that were all from NorCal (RR 99, KG Hitters, Cal Grapettes). Just as in the 14U division, this does not make any sense? And if someone has over 20 years experience in the softball community, they should know better, IMO. They did make changes in the 12U (moved KG to Pool D, moved Diamonds to Pool I, and added AA-Kempton to Pool I) and scheduled the games so that the teams from NorCal did NOT play each other. But, nothing amended in the 14U division? Yes, we should all show a little grace to the individuals that volunteer their time to putting on this event, but those same individuals should take responsibility for creating this scenario, even if there were good intentions?
