She must get off at 5:15...LOL... Ricky, at least wait until she gets off. I have meetings tonight I have to attend about sofbtall.... so I won't be able to post this evening...
I love how people think it is so great to come bash me.... with the laughing signs, etc... Standing ovations... but when you answer their questions they get upset... or when you defend yourself.... they get upset.
Ringer, you got to admit you haven't seen prizes like we try to give away in any other association's event. We aren't talking about the team organization events as we all know that is a fundraising events for the teams. Which is great.
But, when the state association run their state events and bid them out... where does that bid money go? Back to the girls in prizes? Nope. To help them get to the Nationals ? Nope? Paid berths (until we found out from OHSAA that it was illegal as well) but it has been done for years. Nope.
It goes in their pockets and that could be why, as well, as the kickbacks from motel rooms, the penalties for not using one associations motel scheduling services.. they could careless less about the girls as one association has proved that over the past two years.
Tell me Ringer, where have they given back ? As for your Wilmington comment, at 7 pm when it rained 2 inches of rain and there was lakes on the fields... did you truly think I was going to go out at 8 pm when it quit raining and pump the fields to play? Just wondering if I should have.. or should I listen to the National weather service who tells me it might not be done for the evening.... send the team back to the motels to r e l a x .. see what it was going to do and get ready for the next day (sunday). And when I saw that the fields in Wilmington wasn't draining...I brought in a helicopter so the girls could indeed play in their last chance to qualify for the NSA World Series.
Two places played in Ohio that Sunday.. me and Dayton, Ohio (a 4 team tournament).
So I don't understand your comment Ringer. I guess I must have done something wrong ???? in Wilmington and spend 1200.00 for a helicopter so the girls could indeed play on Sunday. Or was I wrong to listen to the experts (National Weather Service).
I know we did indeed play on Sunday... the whole tournament... not an abbriated one... the whole event.... and it looked like to me the coaches, the players and the parents had fun. Or at least they said they did. I don't think they minded playing the whole tournament.
