My daughter has played down in Pigeon Forge for the SEAA Nationals. The fields are sweet! They are red clay infields and well kept. Night games are something to behold. Just awesome to be apart of. Neat having the mountains in the background. The tournament is very well ran and organized, top notch overall. You will get a mixture of teams talent wise. There will be some very strong powerhouses to your average team,to some teams just happy to play in it,including a few rec teams. You dont haft to qualify to play SEAA. There has been complaints from other teams also about the umps,but you will get that anywhere I guess. Most teams are from the south (Tennessee,Georgia,South Carolina,ect....).
Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is a great place for the girls to hang out at and have fun. Here is a couple sites for ya for hotels and activities just in case you dont have them.
