Couldn't agree more. I believe 2 weeks minimum for a schedule. Got a schedule for this weekend's tournament today, which means team members will have to make a request on Tuesday for taking a day off on Friday.
A 2-3 days leave notice won't work for those that have jobs that require at least a week or even 2 weeks notice to take a day off work.
I also believe if an organization is holding a regional or state tournament they should have at least 4 fields to play on. Making teams play 2 pool games, starting at 8:00 a.m. Friday morning, then not starting bracket play until Saturday 8:00 a.m. is a little ridiculous.

Need something in the ratings about communication.
I'm getting really tired of asking and asking for a schedule to tournaments and getting them two days before the thing starts. There's no excuse for this. Parents and older players need to be able to schedule time off from work, book hotel rooms, and arrange for transportation.
I can only imagine that some TD's are so afraid of leaving another few bucks on the table and hoping they get late additions. Need a cutoff date and no reason to not have a schedule out at least two weeks ahead of time, if not even more than that.
