I enjoyed meeting some of the parents from the visiting states and hope all had a pleasant experience in Mississippi and a safe trip home. The teams and fans were all class acts. Maybe next time the weather will cooperate a little better.

My DD pitches for the MS Elite and we are really excited about the prospect of traveling to Moline next year for the "Big Show".

Whatever!!!! This was the biggest waste of time and money you could ever imagine!!! It did NOT even feel like a "National" Tournament. Granted the weather was bad, but so was everything else about how this tournament was ran. Then to top it ALL off the Championship was determined by a forfeit!!!! Who comes to a "National" tournament only to forfeit in the biggest game of the season. I am still disgusted.

For those of us who were not there, please explain what you mean by the Championship game was decided by a forfeit. How did that occur?

The games Saturday afternoon had to be stopped due to weather and the tournament extended into Sunday. Late Sunday morning the MS Elite vs. Georgia Gals game was completed with MS Elite winning 7-0. The Georgia Gals then played the Texas Glory team and won after 9 innings. By this time it was close to 4:00 PM. The Georgia Gals coaches then determined that the only way to improve from 2nd position was to defeat the MS Elite twice which would put them leaving for home late Sunday evening. (I was told some of the Georgia Gals had to start school Monday morning.) So the Georgia Gals forfeited the game, took 2nd place and traveled home. Both teams were disappointed but that is the way it transpired.

How can an 0-2 team finish 9th? Were there only 9 teams participating?

Better yet, how did the other 0-2 team finish tied for 7th?

Yep, there were only 9 teams. http://www.clintonparksandrec.com/docum ... ls_000.pdf
