Bink, thinking about Nationals, what if this was the format to get to Nationals. a new system. States, Regionals on to Nationals. Kind of the way the little league world series is set-up. Make it International as well. Asia, Australia and Europe have some great teams. When I played ball. Connie Mack 18U.

On to starting a regionally Top Ranked tournament.
