We have only heard great things about this facility and it's tournaments. Here is the take...................
*Saturday's games were a great event. Even though it rained and slightly cooler there was no delays, things ran very smoothly. Games times were right on.
*Saturday night, the sky's opened up and rain fell. Everyone knew the rain was coming. Why were the tarps on SB1 and SB2 not used? we were told its because they had holes in them. Then someone said it was a money thing for hiring of staff. It set the whole Sunday schedule into a two hour delay. Mind you if the two fields with tarps with covers were used, it would have been a lot different.
*Sunday games now shortened to 60 mins... Ok, no problem been there done that before. played the rain delay game also. In the 12U's with 15 teams. you just knew that was gonna be a problem. It seemed they wanted to accomodate the 10's and 14's with less teams. and they did as they played their championship games.
*The 12u's got down to the semi's at about 5:15pm. We just received the latest shower and a lot of the fields were a mess. M6 and M8 were playable and the grounds keepers said only two bags of field dry were needed to get them ready. Tour director said no..... We are flipping a coin to decide this one. He was directed to put no more money into to fixing up the fields. (What no more money into fixing up fields in a NSA tourney!) 12u had a team from Ontario in the semi's, two Pgh teams, and a team from Poland. The team from Canada was furious. (I know, it's a chance they take, not knowing the elements) BUT, something should have beeen done better to accomodated that team. Guys were handing out money to pay for the bags of field dry. Bottom line, the two best teams (both #1 seeds) were ousted in the first coin flip and the team from Poland beat the Canadian team on a coin filp to win the 12u's. I don't think any of those team's would have felt the satisfaction of winning this tourney on a coin flip. I hope the Poland coach left the trophy there.
*To make matters worst. a girl had her arm broken in the earlier 12u game (played in the rain) on the final play of the quarterfinal game.(the ump yelled time as the collosion occured) A colloision at first base could have been avoided with the use of orange safety bags at first. We ask to the director about the safety bag, "they have them but don't use them".(ouch, might want to rethink that one from now on) That game should have been call due to the home team was winning with two minutes left on the clock, they were up, with no outs, up 5-2.
Bottom line. our take is that the facility operator and the tournament director blew the Sunday for a good finish. They knew the rain was gonna be a factor and didn't seem to care..........

Way to go Valley Extreme 14U (13U girls):
I was looking forward to a Sunday rematch with the Silver Creek Starz, but I guess they could not get it down when it counted! Nice job in playing the Lasers tough for three innings only to lose to a coin flip. Pool play is pool play way to bring on Sunday!!!!!
Keep up the great effort!

Good Tounament bad parking. I suggest next year to use the golf carts for coaches who have to bring all the equimpment from the first parking lot. As far as our team score, I feel the score with VE does not do us justice. We played great ball, we were up 1 - 0. For whatever reason we blew it in one inning. We are a young team new team, a couple 12's, but know we will move forward and will fix the problems.
Nice tourney

Little dig at the Silver Creek Starz sounds like to me. You are correct that we didnt get it done on Sunday. Would also have loved to have a rematch to see if we could shut you out 3 times in a row.

I was the tournament director for this event the last 3 years, and I am still a member of the Lady Spartan Fastpitch Club that hosts the event. I want to make one thing clear, the tarps on fields S1 & S2 are not part of our agreement with the facility. The tarps do have holes in them, and with the amount of rain we received Saturday night, those fields would have been on a 2 hour delay, even with the tarps.
The decision was never made that there was no more money to be spent on the fields. That is never even considered at our tournaments. After the last rain on Sunday, only 1 field was able to be played on. The UIC looked at field M6 and said it was unsafe.
The remaining games were the 10U Championship game(which had been started prior to the last rain), the 14U Championship game, 2-12U semi final games, and the 12U Championship game. Obviously, all of these games could not be played. We had 1 field and it was after 5:00pm. There was no special treatment given to any age group. They tried to get the Championship games played. The other option is to play the two 12U semi's, and then no Championsip games would be played. Nobody wants these tournaments decided by a coin flip, including us. The fact is, all of the teams involved in the coin flips will receive a berth.
Considering the amount of rain that fell this weekend, we still completed 82 of the 86 games that were scheduled.

This tournament and this facility has always been one of my favorites for many years. My players love it too and many of them broke their school ball coach's "rules" to make sure they could get there. It's amazing the amount of work and prep that goes into these fields even when the weather is nice like it's been the 2 previous years.
I'd have to say it's a downright miracle that Sunday's games went off with only a 2 hour delay and 1 hour game times, knowing the amount of rain they had to deal with. Instead of complaining, the guys that ran this should be congratulated for getting more than 90% of the games in. I've been in worse situations where my team only got a few innings in out of a 4 game guarantee and then didn't even get a partial refund. It's a chance you take when you play an out door sport. I say to Joe and the Lady Spartans - Good job. Thanks and keep it up. My only regret is that my team is aging up and it will be their last year here.
Only complaint is I would like to see the scores of all of Sunday's games. Thanks again.
