TCS Huntington Beach Classic..Game Times posted 10u-18u

What I don't get is that there is only one game at 8 am on Sunday in 12U and 4 games at 9:30. Why can't they schedule more 8am games and move everything earlier? They can only get 2 umps out of the tank for an 8am game?

TCS update from their website:
Friday - 12:30 PM

Again, All facilities have been contacted and are in good shape thus far. All games are on as scheduled.

Drove by the fields ,they still look very playable.

There are more games than that at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday....I think you are reading it wrong....Some teams have to play their last pool game at 8:00 a.m. i/e Corona Xpress

You're right. My bad. But on the bright side, TCS is making more money by jamming too many teams into 4 fields.

Can't argue with you there!

Latest update:

Friday - 2:35PM

We have talked to all of the facilities and have received positive feedback. All games are on as scheduled. We will post another update at 4PM.

But can you also provide an update as to what kind of food they're serving? I mean, if the major news services can post the menu of the food being served at the Obama kid's school (no joke..they did!), shouldn't you provide the same type of service here?

That's no answer.

Who is writing this crap, obama's people? There is hope in the future that there will be change in the weather. Folks, it's raining, my hat is off to TCS if they can get these fields ready by tomorrow. I hope they do.

In-Person HB Sports Complex Update

i just stopped by the hb sports complex on the way home from work around 5:30pm.
i checked fields #2, #3, #4.
all in excellent shape!
a couple puddles by the dugout entrances, but the infields were really good. actually much better than usual. those infields are usually like concrete...they are already dragged and chalked...temporary pitching rubbers pounded in.
so hopfully no more rain...

***No temporary fences....that grass is like a putting green, so there will be some balls rolling a long way...

Wait, go back and check field #1. Hahaha

Wait, go back and check field #1. Hahaha

no way, #1 is about 200 yrds away from those 3...
#5, #7, #8 are about a quarter mile away...didn't check those either...

in case you're wondering, field #6 is a giant mountain of dirt. the contractor that built the complex bailed before they finished that one...
