I have to agree that this is a total attempt (from the outside) to regain control of the youth Fastpitch world.
And I would tend to agree that the coaches would hopefully have a firm grasp of the best players in the country and would not need to see them compete for one week.
But I know in other sports (wrestling) there are multiple big name tournaments going on head to head. But if you want to compete in the Jr. Olympic teams you need to go through USA wrestling which is through AAU sports. Lot of great wrestlers chose not to bother. So it is not like it is a huge problem. Often one could argue the 5-6 best guys at a weight in the country is going to represent because the other guys chose not to compete at that tournament.
I mean really who cares if we send our 3rd string team? Why is that a problem? The girls and parents at that level are well aware of what their decisions mean and if they want to play in the Jr. Olympics then they will be at the ASA tournaments. If not then no big deal. I think your concern that the "best girls" might not be on the team are not shared by the people making these decisions. And to be honest I do not see the issue. Big deal if we finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th.....what an awesome adventure for the players that choose to go that route. It is not like they are winning anything. It is not even easy to figure out who was playing on those teams the last 10 years.
