ASA Tournament Ohio Stingrays College Showcase July 12-14, 2013

I wouldn't mind checking out some of those games since they are National teams. As a side note, Dd played in the Colorado Freedom tournament (14s) this year and a team from Australia was there- the Australian team lost every game and only scored 1 run all week.

FWIW, A 16U team from New Zealand did better than that last Summer in a top SoCal showcase tourney, Champions Cup. They went 1-5 in pool play and were outscored 12-38. They went 1-1 in bracket play to finish T-17th out of 48 teams.

I am sure there are a ton of showcases in Ohio that only have Ohio teams entered. There is a place for everyone in the sport. But the bigger showcases are there to attract college coaches so the participating teams players get a look. Not so only Ohio kids get looks from Ohio schools. Ohio kids can play anywhere in college. And if an Ohio showcase can add a team from SoCal, Wash, Texas, Florida, CHINA, etc and it brings in one new coach then they have done their job. Why do you think showcases like the Legacy pay teams travel expenses to have them come play? Why do top showcases pay certain college coaches expenses to show up? Like has been stated numerous times - the sport is changing.

I was thinking about this international flavor thing. Isn't this tournament about college showcasing first? If so, do we as Ohioans want foreigners coming in and taking our spots for a chance at showcasing in front of schools we are wanting to notice us? I know that there has always been a push to bring the most talent in, but I read on OFC all the time the griping about California girls getting recruited by Ohio State, and why can't Ohio schools pick Ohio players... Now we are going to be losing our opportunities to foreigners? Why, just so someone can talk up the tournament that "WE ARE WORLD WIDE"?

I hope the selection committee takes this into consideration when choosing the teams to participate.

and no, my team is not applying, so there is no sour grapes to comment on.

Is this a PGF event?

I had heard "PGF Endorsed"......example- Orland Sparks Showcase is PGF Endorsed for 2013

Which means what ???
Just that they approve of it. It doesn't change anything does it ?

Good question.....I asked the same and what i heard was this year Orland Sparks is "PGF Endorsed" (advertised on PGF's website to draw more out of state competition to the tournament)

Sorry, I was referring to the 16u group. Isn't that the most common age group for showcasing?

Black and Gold are both 18 u. This means Blue is the only 16 u, and we are out of state that week. Does look like a great bunch of teams. Sorry we are going to miss this one.

You aren't kidding...I'd hate to be the one to decide out of that group. That's alot of good teams.

Yep, looks like there is going to be 49 upset / disappointed teams just in the 16u alone ! I would hate to have the job of making those decisions. Good luck to all that applied.
