Ok, I have to talk about this thread on the show tonight. Now I'm laughing so hard I'm almost in tears.

Love the system ... I am just trying to figure out how it is only 85% effective ... :)

By the way, speaking of 85%, let's keep in mind that about 85% of parents are just fine ...

Our legal team isn't comfortable with any claim that goes above 85%. The system is founded on the idea that good people sometimes act badly. But, our R&D team has found that there are still about 15% of people who are not responding to the system in any way. We are working on that problem and plan to release future updates to reduce the number.

We welcome your input and will respond with new artwork depicting the best suggestions.

And yes, we agree 85% of parents are just fine. Maybe we can come up with a spinoff product for them.

The other 15% are women. They can talk no matter what. ;).

Right over here!
Instead of dance moms we should get ahold of TLC and get a show about softball dads.... Think about the ratings and royalties! This type of mumbo jumbo is what networks would kill to have a show about!!

@coachjwb or Admin... In honor of David Letterman I would like to nominate this as a top 10 - "Oh those Wacky 10U". Now, what I would ask is if you could post some from past years and rank them David Letterman style? Maybe let members who have enjoyed the edutainment submit their super-regional favorites and crown a champ.

Extra butter? Yes, and supersize my drink.

run 26,
Yesterday i asked if you could read and you said you can, can you also comprehend what you read? i said i was at the outlaws shooutout and that my team was much older so with their being 10s,12s, n 14s at the tourney that would put us in the 14u division. Now you say to play in better tournaments? In the 14u division there were lasers,valley xtreme, outlaws,wolfpack, stingrays, turnin 2, nitro, and a team made up of lasers, valley, and demarini bandit girls? I dont know what age group you r from but in the 14u division that is one of the best fields you will see, especially in a early season tournament. Any other brilliant or attempted witty comebacks?

Agree with Steve on this ... run 26, I may agree with you on some other things, but the shot you took at the quality of the tournament was not only unnecessary, but it was just plain erroneous (uninformed?). While I didn't really watch any 10-U games, I got to see several 12-U and 14-U games on both Saturday and Sunday, and the teams playing and the level of competition were outstanding.

Fair enough. Please accept my apology. I made an assumption without knowing all the facts.

From personal experience, most of the higher level tournaments don't have a lot of sign stealing as a mode of victory. Nevertheless, I shouldn't have said that with regards to this tournament.

This happened at a 10u tournament in northeast ohio?

You know there were 30 college coaches watching. These kids are doomed!

Mad Dog .. if you think 10u " has no more problems than any other age " you are surely a parent who hasn't been thru the ringer . Yes , there are problems with all teams at all ages but the issues are far less at 16u and 18u . Most parents know its about the dough if their kid is a college level player and the trophy means less and less and less . The Parents set in the OF and watch the games , There isnt many cheer blocks at 16-18.
