Final four st paddy las vegas

Kenny,

Like I said earlier in another thread, I really think Lil Saints were good. They beat Case Batbusters which is one of the top So Cal Teams. So, I am not convinced that the only "good" team that USA played was Gamers. In addition, I believe one of the other teams we played in pool play beat out Firecrackers 02 placing them in the losers bracker. Firecrackers 02 is another high ranked team in So Cal. So that makes USA beating a team that beat Firecrackers 02, a team that beat Case, and losing to the #1 team in California, Gamers. Right???

POST THE BRACKET AND LET OTHERS DECIDE. USA ATHLETICS GOOD JOB BEATING WHO YOU HAD TO PLAY BUT YOU HAD THE EASIEST ROAD,NO DOUBT. FROM GAME TIMES,TO GAME BREAKS, TO OPPONENTS YOU DIDNT HAVE MUCH TO FACE. I SAW THE USA COACHES ALL UP ON THE FENCES WATCHING GAMES, MAYBE IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF GAMES THEY HAD TO PLAY. AS FAR AS THE FIRECRACKERS 02 COMMENTS OF COURSE YOU WOULD THROW THEM OUT THERE BECAUSE YOU BEAT THEM IN A CHAMPIONSHIP AT A TOURNAMENT WHERE NOBODY WAS AT....

And, I do find it quite disturbing that one even questions the end result. That is how the cards were dealt. The brackets were made this way. Does it mean that you take away being in the championship game? Should we tell the girls, "Girls, you didn't work hard, you didn't play well, the bracket we were placed in was easy." No, they worked very hard. They played very well. They
played in the championship game. Period. Done. They lost the game. Gamers played a better game. Over, done with. We will see how it all plays out next time.

Sitting here and posting things, then deleting them, then posting more, then deleting again, really only shows that adults can't be mature and act like adults. It is a GAME! Don't take the fun out of it!

Let's all grow up and show kids what being a mature adult looks like. They are 10 years old for goodness sake! :-)

Championship Gamers Over USA Athletics 11-1

Semi: Gamers over Firecrackers 4-1
Semi: USA Athletics over Lil Saints 4-1

Quarters: Gamers over So Cal Athletics 7-1
Quarters: Firecrackers over OC Batbusters 4-3

Quarters: USA Atletics over ??????
Quartes: Lil Saints over Case Batbusters

Another good weekend of softball. Once again the top teams made it to the final few games. A liitle bit of a shame for Firecrackers, Batbusters, and Gamers to be lumped up in the same bracket forcing the top teams to play so many games Sunday. Think the brackets should have been adjusted so all teams played a similiar schedule. But those games were all close and could have gone either way. Congratulations to all teams see you at the next one.
Love the game

I do think USA Athletics has a good team with a very strong pitcher. And you do get credit for making it to the Championship. But for you to think you are better then the Firecrackers 01 or Batbusters or even Firecrackers 02 is a bit off. USA Athletics only had 6 teams in there bracket. There first game on Sunday was at 11. The other bracket had 16 teams and our start times were 8am. USA Athletics had 2 games to make it to the Championship while the other side had 4 Games. The championship making it 5. And the final 4 games were played back to back. Yes it is luck of the draw or maybe someone you know. But either way Not sure if the final few games would have been the same if the brackets were done a little more fair. Just my opionion.

We will see if I am correct at the next tournament. Either way congradulations to all teams this weekend.
Love the game

Who said that USA thinks they are better than any of those teams you mentioned?

Just because you make it in the champ games doesn't mean you are better than another team. It means cards were all lined up on any given day.

USA has beat Firecrackers 02 in every game that they have played. The cards were lined up and it worked in those games. Firecrackers 02 has an awesome team. They are REALLY good. Why say one is better? Why not just say they are both great teams?

Why is it always about being the best? Can't we just teach our 10 year olds to play their best game every time they are on the field. Accept it for what it is?
Have a great evening!

SocalFan 01 is not Ramos....lol. My daughter is obviously on the team as you can tell when I use the pronoun "we" to refer to the team.....but I am not Ramos.

Good luck to all the teams in Fresno. Looks like a good one!

Have a peaceful evening!

Answer me a question? Just curious. What exactly is going on with ALL of the caps?

I don't have a huge problem with it like some do(Artomatic ;) ). But what is the reasoning behind it? Yelling? Mad? Fill me in...
