Just threw away the majority of the dust collectors, but had this thread been going a year ago would have been more than happy to donate them to the fall exposure events...
One thing that hasn't been mentioned on this is if fall exposure events were played in a true tournament format the exposure wouldn't be the same for some kids. College coaches show up to an event like St. Louis with a preplanned schedule at who or what teams they are going to look at and know their game times in advance and basically have the whole weekend planned out. If double elim was used then game times are not known in advance and some kids may not get the looks they would in the current round robin format. I do like what the TD is doing in Tennessee next weekend in you play your 6 games and then the 4 pool winners play a single elim at the end so you can play for the plastic if you want that in an event. We will see how it goes.
Killerbee when we were in Springfield, IL a few weeks ago the conversation turned to your youngest playing like 7 positions in one game while in a tournament there including her yearly pitching time so we must have been throwing punches over something else LOL Maybe it was over that activist bumper sticker on your rolling condo. Pretty funny stuff and being in Springfield was like one of those deja vu moments, although it wasn't the same without you!!!!!
I guess my question is not going to get answered though and that is a shame because inquiring minds wanted to know???
