A "Dream Tourney" ?? ?:-? ?:-/
As in the top 10 polled place holders get together for a playoff at the end of the year for the "mythical" state championship, settled on the field, at the "END" of the year? ?
That would be both fun and interesting. Just like the "mythical" football national championship, there would certainly be a lot of "jockeying for position" and moaning about who should be where in the polls, just like NCAA football. However, it would be a "fun" way to put together a season ending "invitational". It doesn't mean anything "official" and it wouldn't erase ANYTHING that happened in tournaments during the year ... it would just be another tournament, and a way of getting the teams with the "generally perceived" best (by statewide participating coaches) seasons together at the end of the year for a grinder.
The arguments would probably be about positions 5-10, most could probably agree about who the top 4-5 teams are by that time of the season, usually. Plus, some of the players may be tied up with fall High School sports by then, and some of the best teams may be overseas by then on their international tour (or at some far away isolation camp) ......
If handled with a positive attitude, could this be a fun thing, unique for Ohio, and also a good promotion and visibility for "OFC" as the center of the Ohio "softball community"?? - The
OFC Ohio Coaches Championships
Thoughts?
