If you fall below 8 players you have to forfeit. A team did that last weekend in 13u and ended up with a better seed (didn't play the no1 seed that smoked everyone). They ended up with a 3pm game over our 8am that we got for actually playing. They took their 0-7 scored forfeit and we lost giving up 9 runs at 11pm while they were sleeping at home. Those 2 runs cost us a late game. Just a stupid stupid setup.

Yea that was always an in game rule back in the day (say in the 2nd inning two fielders take each other out and you are down to 7) but if you just outright walked on a game....that was that.  At your age it may be about sleep, when they get a bit older it gets to be about pitching.

Yeah I agree. I am still living with the memory of the fuckery of last weekend. We will play it straight and let shit fall where it may.

 

Edit: it is always about pitching though.

4p and 8pm at The Rac  this weekend for us, after we got an initial schedule saying we had the 8a and 12p games at Cotton Sports Ranch.

Travel time is about the same for us but would much rather have the early 8a games, considered booking a room in Waller Sat night only to realize the 2 Sunday brackets are either Waller or BBUSA.

10 months post TJ surgery, my son got back on the bump against live batters for the first time yesterday.  Just 3 batters.  I didn't see it, but he said it was a mixed bag.  He struggled with control, but his arm felt good.  He's slated to pitch Tuesday (20 pitch max) on JV.  

He's worked hard during recovery and followed a pretty dialed in protocol.  Big improvement in core and leg strength over that timeframe.  Got a really good pitching coach with experience in TJ rehab and a good grasp of biomechanics, so his delivery is way more consistent and repeatable.  I think he's in a better, healthier, more disciplined spot than he was prior to injury.  We're really trying to keep him from overdoing it, but he's 17 and pushing the envelope.

Can we talk about how stupid these game times have become? Schedule too many teams for the fields, games stack up and get later and later. Last game is supposed to start at 8:15, doesn't start until 10:15pm. Sunday games are at 8am. Really stupid. It comes down to who got to play early Saturday. We had kids that went home and ended up with 4hrs or less sleep. Bullshit scheduling. Basically we should have just forfeited the second game just so we could have clawed back 3 hours of sleep for the boys. Defeats the point of the tournament imo.

The tournament director got his $$ so that's incorrect
