Everyone,
Its tough but I would disagree with the poorly ran statement. Maybe you have not yet had to experience a poorly ran tournament, but when you do you will know it.
I back TD and his decisions, If you look back at all the rain from Saturday night, and all the rain Sunday morning you would appreciate the fact that you even played games on Sunday.
Plus he did a Good job with keeping all of us posted of what was going on with all the games changes. Keep in mind it DID rain Sunday morning (AM)
If you remember!!
TD did tried to get all coaches together and talk about the weather, most every coach said ya lets call it a day, (I was there)
This wasn't only his DECISION it was the majority of the coaches. So all of us may have something to learn!
Finding out a true winner is tough at that point. (Coin toss, best record, RA, RS etc.... it goes on and on )
You know your team and you know the others,
Does it really matter! I would hope your coaching for improvement of the kids,
As far as not doing another Maple Leaf tournament, that would be your lost.
I have been in this for 12+ years and still coach a 18U team for fun.
Bob is in it for the love of the game. I was there on Sunday with my team,
I agree that it was too bad that once that decision was made the weather did clear up for a short period of time.
In my mind His only error my of been trying to hard to keep everyone Happy.
Its not like he has 100 ground crew members to just jump on in and fix every field.
Just think of the mess if he did get some fields playable, which age group gets to play then?
My vote would of been 16-14-18-12-10 Again everyone would have a different opinion.
Bob does goes out of his way to do his best to make sure the KIDS are playing.
That is seen by the way he works with every team with Schedule changes, Roster changes, Time slot changes, or even the ones that says we are traveling can we have a later start time.
Believe me!! You will notice a bad tournament and then you will appreciate what Bob does.
Bob thanks for everything you have done for the Fastpitch programs in NE Ohio.
