SoCal Wicked Black/USA A's 12U Valentine's Tournament Result

[It is what it is]

As I said, NO disrespect and NOT calling anyone out - We are just asking Wicked to call it what it was - they crowned us champions and then a day later we see this post. We were ready and willing and would have gladly played the last game against CA. We wouldve been proud to take home whatever place we earned in that championship game. Let me put it this way - If we would've played that championship game and lost, would they still have called us co-champs? Um no, so how does not even playing earn you that right? That's all I'm asking.

You guys can have the first place trophy. It means Nothing to us.

LongAndWindingRoad - I'm not sure where you get your information, but you have alot of misinformation in your previous post and you should check your sources.

All - I am simply a parent on a team that questioned the Wicked ruling - that's all. I'm sorry I said anything as it continues to be misconstrued and portrays our team as something we are not. We were just happy to make it that far, and even if it wasn't an important tournament to some, it was to our girls.

I have said many times it was not my intention to disrespect Corona Angels and I'm sorry if they took it that way. I'll leave it at that.

AND NOW INTRODUCING YOUR 2013 SOCAL WICKED/USA A'S 12U VALENTINE'S TOURNAMENT CHAMPION VC VENOM 00!!!!! THERE YOU GO COACH NOW YOU CAN SLEEP

Curious minds would like to know if Venom chose to forfeit, would they be co champs or 2nd place? Is it the name of the team/org that comes into play to be co champ? Or would it not matter? I have seen co champs listed before but the game was called before it ended due to light or weather, but have not seen or noticed before co champs listed on a forfeit.
Would be different if both teams agreed to this before the game started or if the host pulled both coaches together and let them know. Just my 2 cents.

So Cal Wicked,

Great tournament and I mean that with all sincerity. You cannot control the weather and nothing in life is perfect.

To the parents (coaches) who are jabbing back and forth at each other, I suggest we dial it down a notch. There were more than a few great teams playing some serious softball this past weekend and I think we need to enjoy the fact that we are lucky enough to live in an area that provides such amazing competition.

My daughter's team lost a very tight game to Mizuno and I can tell you, there was no place that I would rather have been than to see those two teams going at it pitch by pitch, out by out. There are larger lessons that are learned though that type of experience and learning to handle a schedule that is in flux due to weather or having a championship game cancelled because of the lateness of the day is just another step on the road to living the life of travel softball.

I loved seeing my daughter and the other teams play on those fields on Sunday. The fields were perfect as was the weather and every kid out there was safe and working hard.

Play Ball!
