[quote name="rounder17" post="1181270" timestamp="1329755450"] [quote author=2 Sons Playing link=topic=96232.msg1181264#msg1181264 date=1329754814] Some of you guys would censored and moan about anything.."they should have done this, I would have done this"..just stop you're not that important. let me give you a little history of what it's been like playing under Nations here the past 5 years. Most of the time you wouldn't find out till Thur or Fri if the tourney would fill at all, if it did then you either got to play the same 3 or 4 teams each time or was asked to play up an age bracket. 90% of all teams playing were local teams only. If you wanted to play other teams you had to got to Htown or LA to get that. USSSA 1st tourney has 68 teams signed up with less than a dozen being local. if you local teams want that to continue then I would suggest you start signing up for their tourneys and supporting an org that is trying to bring better teams to our park to play. Had Morgan been as proactive the past 5 years as he is this year, then this situation wouldn't have ever happened. Now to clear up a few comments; The guy complaining about the director having a team, the Gladiators run the nations tourneys locally and have a team for every age bracket playing in all their tourneys..get  a clue. Renegades you chose to play up an age bracket at Nations instead of playing against teams in your own age bracket..please explaing to me how that is better for your players and what were the results from it? As for how the tourney went this weekend, it was unfortunate about the weather on Sat but they did a great job of being fair to all teams. Sunday ended up being a great day to play, and I think most teams enjoyed themselves and will hopefully come back. Ford park is one of the best facilities around, I would prefer to play most of my games here against better teams. I hope you will support it so they can continue to build on what just started. [/quote] [b]This "situtation" happened because of a disgruntled ex gladiator parent[/b]. As for the director having teams in his tournament, the difference is he is not coaching any of them. [/quote] I beg to differ....just rememeber theres two sides to every story...and then theres the TRUTH.. but thats not the truth behind this "situtation"...

[quote name="TX_RENEGADES" post="1181227" timestamp="1329749714"] I have done mostly USSSA back home but did a tourney 1 age division up earlier this month NATIONS director contacted me about it. I think that if directors are going to make such a move they should send out an email about it, not just take it up on themselves to make a class. I dont agree with some of the things that went down, but Im glad we didnt play this tournament. If my team decides to play USSSA I will most likely play at BIG LEAGUE DREAMS or LA. No hard feelings about the guy in charge of this one, but If I was in his shoes I would rescheduled just so people wont talk about " REMEMBER THE 1ST TOUNEY OUT HERE IT WAS ..........." But he did have a good turnout. [/quote] If im not mistaking all the 11's in Nations tournament a couple weeks ago had to play up with the 12U.. but for what ever reason you didn't pull out of that tournament... I'm sure Nations had their reasoning for MAKING all the 11's play with the 12's but know your on here criticizing our local USSSA guy for opening up the 11U bracket and saying your not gonna play USSSA local because of it ???....as Chris Carter would say "COME ON MAN"....

[quote name="rounder17" post="1181202" timestamp="1329746261"] MJB, I think you may be confused. Are you saying that our local Nations director, runs an organization called Nightmare Baseball? If so, you are way wrong. [/quote] He's not saying it's "Nightmare Baseball" I believe he's saying it's a Nightmare dealing with that organization!!

[quote name="TX_RENEGADES" post="1181190" timestamp="1329742087"] IMO ..... [b]The manager that have a AA should of kept track of the event throughout the week leading to it and seen all the age divisions get put together[/b]. I was one of those that pulled out when I was told about it along with others. [b]It's not the DIRECTORS fault just simply on the teams manager/tourney booker for not seeing that.[/b] I have played USSSA for a long time and those directors would of called off the event and rescheduled that way all those teams that pulled due to rain would of came back and people wouldnt blame the rain for poor playing. Like I said just my opinion, I was out there watching my old friends from back home kick butt so I had a great time DIRTY BAY BANDITZ good job, poor weather or playing same teams no matter those boys had fun. [/quote] GOOD POINT!!

[quote name="sportsfan2020" post="1181167" timestamp="1329713141"] So why were major teams playing AA again. Not sour grapes either, we won the tournament. [/quote] What age group?

I guess you have one in every crowd .... :'(  I guess cancelling the tournament would have been the easy thing to do,but I'm glad they didn't because seeing all those kids up agianst the fence watching the helicopter while it was hovering over the fields was PRICELESS!!!!

[quote name="oldman" post="1181155" timestamp="1329709651"] Where was the location of this tourny [/quote] Ford Park

[quote name="sportsfan2020" post="1180682" timestamp="1329594526"] I was warned, but I guess this is what they called the USSSA special. 1:20 time limits, AA teams mixed with Majors, some teams playing 2 pool games, others playing 1.  What a joke. My team won't be making this mistake again. [/quote] FYI.....the reason some played 2 and some played 1 was due to the fact that some teams cancelled day of tournament, and to get the team they were going to play,  some teams were asked to play two....  ;)

[quote name="sportsfan2020" post="1180720" timestamp="1329599397"] Games were always 1:20 before rain. Nations is 1:40. Forgot to mention tournament director is coaching a team too [/quote] Nations games are not 1:40... Most directors have a team even in Nations.. ;) BTW the local Nations Director has a team in every age group.....

Congrats to both players.
