I was at a tournament this weekend that had a coach tell his girls to lose so they could stay in the current bracket of a double elim. guarentee 3 games.
This team lost their 1st game (Team A). went to the lossers bracket. The team that beat them ?(team B)lost their next game and were in the lossers bracket. Team A went on to play their 1st game in the lossers bracket. The coach told his girls not to try hard and to lose. If they (A) had won they would have gone to the bottom bracket to eventually face the team (B) that put them in the lossers bracket.
They did things as walk/jog to bases. The coach had bases loaded(Bunts/walks) in one inning with 1 out and bunted the next two batters for froce outs at home. The very next inning they had bases loaded again (bunts/walks) with no outs and bunted 3 times for outs at home.
The other teams (C) coach said he wanted to forfeit the game because they (A) were disrespecting his team. The Director and umpire talked him into finishing. The 7 inning team A had bases loaded again and laid down a bunt for a force at home. The next player came up and was given the bunt sign and decided to lace a double into left to tie the game at 2-2. She was inturn yelled at for missing the bunt sign. The game finished at 2-2. ITB in the 8th. Team A's pitcher threw 2 balls over the catchers head to allow the run to score.
To shorten the story the game ended Team C- 5 Team A-3.
Team A got their wish and played ?the team C
Team C 11
Team A ? ?0
Justice was served
To bad Team A's players had to be asked to throw a game.
I never seen anything like it before.
