Shame on you PGF!!!

[Trophy Hunter]

As someone mentioned, this could be a major issue - how can they justify allowing one team to do this, and not everyone else?

There is enough favoritism/cronyism in PGF already - does that now extend to players jumping teams?

The rules on this are clear from the beginning, and if the rules apply to everyone, these kids shouldn't be allowed to play with their new team. Sucks for the kids, but the adults knew the rules.

For the OP, what were you told when you contacted PGF?

- Who is right in these scenarios is impossible to determine.

maybe talking to the coach/manager would be a good start? If it was handled the way the poster said it went down,there is a serious problem?

The story is skewed from his perspective, partially correct but skewed. none of this happened last minute and his team did not "qualify" but received an at large berth. IMHO they shouldnt even be going at all. They had a chance to qualify and couldnt get it done. It wasnt one bad inning or anything like that either. they were just outplayed.

Is this the other side of the story??

That is right let them play. The same people that come on here and say it has nothing to do with the kids it's all abut money and here you come back and say oh this is a big problem. PGF is very busy and no they don't hang out on here to see who is saying what. The original poster needs to tell the complete truth about how this all went down because he has not. I am not saying he lied I am just saying he left some key information out. Personally if a kid doesn't want to play for me i have no hard felling go find something that fits you better.

Pgf Qualifier $500+ , Pgf 2012 National Championship(aka - so cal nationals, looks like about 36/40 teams from cali) $1000, Pgf not upholding the same rules for everyone --PRICELESS !!!
if this is true you should be very very

ok.....I like that "let the kids play" idea!!!

Can we pick up an 18 gold pitcher who is done for the year as their team did not qualify for PGF, to play on our 16u team at PGF?

She is a great kid, 16U age eligible, great family, and she would have a great time!

C'mon. Let the kids play!

Agree, and in that sense they should just remove the rule, and do away with restrictions on player movement. But if they're going to have a rule that restricts player movement (or any rule for that matter) then it should be enforced uniformly.

Numero Uno, if you know what is going on why not post it? It's disingenuous to claim you are right because you have all the information, but in turn don't share that information.
