It looks like it's going to be a perfect weekend for softball. The forecast is much better than most weekends this summer!

It's a shame that this tournament is hosted by an organization that doesn't have any teams playing in it. Would have liked to seen them play.

Great wkd for softball - some really good teams - great to shake the rust off. Anytime you get to play the caliber of the Doom, Stingrays and Buckeye Heat - it is alot of fun. Profs to our #13 - incredible wkd both hitting and pitching!

Madness!!!!

why the "madness" comment ? (only madness I saw was the crazy ump)

Slow start to the tourney - having to wait around and the fields but once it got started - I thought it was really a cool thing to have so many good teams together - in the fall - 8 games in two days - I'll bet there are some very sore players today!

This tournament was a great experience for our team, getting to play against the best 14u teams in the state.

Congrats to the Cincinnati Doom on winning the tournament. Doom had great pitching and great defense. Ohio Stingrays (Caton) and the Buckeye Heat both looked really good also. We did not get the chance to play the others but they all looked good from the stands.Great weekend for softball and the tournament ran fine. Thanks Brian good job. Looking forward to playing these fine teams in the future, hopefully we will improve

We like to thank all the teams that came this was the first time at this park and had a little issue with the city but we would like to know how did you like the park.We are looking to move the summer tournament and also what sanction you would like ASA,USSSA,Pony etc.

Thanks John Uhrin

The park was fine, my only complaint would be the smell from the restrooms. Also, maybe water down the fields some. I like it being ASA.

We prefer ASA and would almost certainly not attend if this were an NSA event.

Agree what NSA charges us to host it would most likely not be NSA

Definately ASA for us to attend. For a park this nice they should have running water and flush toilets in the restrooms. Hold a big tourney, and those bathrooms would be unbearable!!
BIG downside...300+ fences, not good for fastpitch. Got to have batters boxes!! I just don't understand why alot of tourneys don't feel there necessary. Liked the 3 pool play into double elimination. All and all, a nice tourney. But if I was looking to continue hosting a tourney somewhere, this would not be the place. Thanks Brian and crew for your efforts.

we like ASA, the fields were good but I agree with Shayne (Lady Knights) need to have fences regulation size and restroom smell was unbearable. Fix the smell issue and put up temporary fences and this would be an awsome facility to hold a tournament. All in all this was a good tournament and very enjoyable. Thanks Brian your crew did a good job
