Back to GAPSS, here is what I posted on the GAPSS bracketing thread, which morphed into a rain cancellation thread:
Time to make the popcorn. But I'm more than willing to let Mike provide his explanation before I decide whether the decision to cancel 16 and 18s in their entirety was just to save money.
We really can't have too much of a gripe about the cancellation of the 14U Loser's Bracket, except that once the decision was made to cancel the much larger 16/18 field, it may well have been possible to get enough fields playable to have a complete playout of the 14U draw. But, on the other hand, Mike's Lasers Black were one of the teams who were in the losers' bracket, so it's not like his team benefited from the decision.
Just really sorry that the rain messed everything up. There were some really good teams left in the field at 14U and it would have been fun to see who would have won it all.
A shout-out to Madness Black, whom we were playing when the heavens opened this morning. Score was 0-0 in the top of the third (at least I think it was the top of the third). Anyway, Madness Coaching Staff was really fun. And guys, your secret is safe with us.;&
