this post is awesome.
But the title does not give any clues about the treasure within...I got curious when I kept seeing it at the top of the "View active topics" and clicked in.
and then: Holy Crap!

Feels like I am watching a bad episode of "The View", where everyone is cackling and talking, but nobody is listening. Beating a dead horse comes to mind also.

But hey, I get it that no one wants to hear some old has-been tell them to relax and enjoy the ride, so, carry on...

We're with you Yoda. Since 2.6 and Squirrel have abandoned us, we've lost our compass so thanks for reminding us to watch our manners and remember it's only 10U!

Hey Spaz & Uno, can we get a HeyBucket version of "Like" or "Retweet"?

I am sure of one thing, our team traveled to Vegas and played their best. I believe for being a new travel ball 10u team we did well. We traveled to play against competitive teams and thats what we did. It takes a lot of heart for these ladies to play well together as a TEAM! They had fun and thats what it's about.

I agree! It is a game for the girls, they all were there to play the game we hope as parents, we keep enjoyable enough for them to WANT to play! Having the the comments on here by parents who wish to bash and not keep it somewhat positive is what gives TB communities a bad name. That is one of my pet peeves when parents choose to bash other players on team as to why their kids aren't playing or team isn't doing well, instead of focusing on working w/ their child to control what they can! Don't bash other girls / teams!

From what I read and seen, yes, the brackets weren't fair, and hopefully the director will read this hoopla and understand the stew they made! I don't think teams had say in the makeup so congrats to Gamers on their continued domination! USA got lucky and did they best they could w/ cards dealt, congrats! Lil Saints and FC01, great showing, get em next time!

What sucks are the CA's, Case and Lil Saints who haven't even been in part of this conversation! They worked their butts off did well this weekend and yet they are getting blasted on this thread! In the end I think the hardware is where it stands. Forget have multiple buckets on where people stand. The gamers are king of the mountain, their championships show it. The rest are all together, chasing the trophy! Hopefully the next time the parings and road our in our favors!

I think the best pic of the weekend were the CO teams! The coach said they've been out on the fields only 1 time since Jan due to snow, yet they travelled out and got smashed over and over! But the girls/parents were having fun in the sun! Cause in the end it is a game. Girls play the game they love!

Well said! Q But watch out Gamers, the two big dogs r chomping at bit to take ur spot

[Love the game]

Once again this was a great weekend of softball. Great teams and great location. As i said in the beginning this is 10u softball so on any given day anyone can win. Lucky for us our young team has heart and has been able to play strong when they need too. Thanks for also calling out our young players last week it seemed to fire them up this past weekend. Any extra help you wish to give us is always welcome

Not sure the comment about our coaches but anyone who knows our team knows that was not called for. We have respect for all teams we play and respect all players on the field. Sorry we had upset you for whatever we did.

Also want to Congratulate USA Athletics for taking 2nd. Do agree the brackets were not fair but you did beat the couple teams you needed, and have a great group of girls. Also FC01 and 02, SoCal Athletics and OCBB. You all looked great on the field like always and anyone of our teams could have won this weekend. AASA nice to see you guys again and want to wish your team luck this season. Your doing good things as you did last year. Good luck to all the teams as we continue to head towards the summer.

Hey Brian, way to kill a perfectly entertaining 10U thread with your classy post, and compliments to your competition. Not only are you killing the fun here, your hoggin' all the trophies too...damn dude, leave us something....

It was a great weekend of softball!! Congrats to the Gamers!!

Ultimately, no matter where you fall in a bracket, you have to make it happen. Whether it's 10u or 16u, you have to play solid defense, get hits at the right time, and have good pitching.

So Cal Athletics has beat all of the top teams over the course of the season. We played hard this weekend, but ultimately didn't hit well as a team agains the Gamers and had a crucial error that cost us 2 runs(my daughters error so I can say it out loud).

As a parent, I was looking forward to playing the Gamers because I want our team to compete against the best. Yes, I noticed the top bracket looked easier, and yes I was shocked that Case lost to the Lil Saints. But Kudo's to USA Athletics. Do I think they are one of the top ranked teams, No. But they were this weekend as they were able to put together the wins at the right time and they got it done.

As far as a friendly for all the top teams goes...... So Cal Athletics is hosting a friendly on May 6th in Fontana and also on June 17th(hasn't been posted yet). There is more than enough room to set up a invitational only 10u 1 day tournament for that day.

JuanDoe, your thoughts?
