Pgf did there best to make sure they did everything they could to not play in the middle of the day. When it's still 100 deg at 11 at night there's not much you can do but play. What's a shame is at least at 16 u two teams play and the one team must win to stay alive. After they win are hard fought the umps walk off in protest for not enough breaks. Both coach's agree to be co-champions leaving it up to PGF to decide who gets a birth. I feel sorry for both teams who have to sit by to wait if it was all worth it. I for one say no not to play all those's not to get a birth.

Congratulations.

They obviously came prepared and well educated as how to compete and care for their kids in 115 degree weather. What if you other two parents kids got offered a spot to play at UNLV, you going to cry and complain that the 115 degree weather is inappropriate and they shouldn't play in it!?! HaHa As to the other two in these hilarious debate it is obvious that catcherzrule is a highly educated person unlike the two of you.
Fun fact:
One of the most respected online health resources says playing in heat is safe as long as you use " common-sense precautions to prevent heat-related illnesses."
