Top 10 Reasons to Visit Tealtown

10. ?Plenty of parking on Friday and Saturday, and illegal parking on vacant field on Sunday--where else can you literally "park it" in left field. ?Berliner doesn't offer it, GAPPS doesn't, not even Stingrays can say that

9. ?50 minute drop dead games--You wanted controversy, you got it. ?there's nothing more invigorating (or was that aggravating) than to have your hard-working team bite it in 3 1/2 innings.

8. ?No concession stand lines!--hey, on Friday and Saturday, you had free reign of every concession stand on the block...ice cream, firemen-made brats, pretzles. ?On the johnnies scale it waould get 4/5 stomachs.

7. ?Paperless bathrooms--Hey ladies, this one is especially for you. ?Nothing like taking a potty break and dripping dry on a muggy, hot afternoon. ? :-X

6. ?Gate fees--come early (meaning the first 2 days of the tourney) and get in free, come Sunday and make sure if they ask, "16 A" you answer, "14B's".

5. ?A committed field crew--you think the city crews down at riverside park earn their money, wait until you get a load of the "Fab 5". ?U got it, 5 for 18 fields. ?You do the math. ?That's quality at its finest.

4. ?Updated bracket/game times--Ready to prepare your team for Nationals? why not have them wake up, show up, wait for hours and be told to go back, come again and still not play. ?Your girls will show preserverance and guile. ?your parents will thank you for it later. ?

3. ?Girls on third rule--Never worry about tie games again at Tealtown. ?no worries about strategy for ITB games ever again! ?Just have your players get themselves to third, wait for a tie like Tressel and win a trophy. ?

2. ?Cincinnati--come on people, where else would you want to be on a 2-day rain delay. ?Marion? ?they don't even have a mall. ?Marysville? ?you'll have to find your own cow for a good steak joint. ?Berliner? ?you'll be shot dead on High st. before you get somewhere to fit your entire team for a meal. ?Cincy has it all. ?You'll burn through money so quick, Bush will raise taxes and gas prices because he'll think the economy is doing great. ?Plus, King's Island is right around the corner.

and the number one reason to visit Tealtown..

no Daddy Dice

and you've got my word on that one :p ? ?the REAL #1

1. ?everyone leaves undefeated, and you can play on Sunday--tired of going home early? ?stay at Tealtown where games are guaranteed until Sunday! ?then go home undefeated. ?With the tie-breaker rule, you might feel like you've won the championship, along with the entire age bracket!

must,

you are right about that....we figured might as well be seen AND heard....better than what we were doing at the hotel getting banister arm (when one leans on the banister eating peanuts and beer and watching the rain)..

Hey Statman!! What do you mean you will have to bring youre own cow to Marysville to get a good steak. We have plenty of good cows that are outstanding in their fields. We even have a super Wallmart. Have you tried Doc Hendersons? Great food. What a great place to kill some time. We have
Bennys pizza, best in the land! Oh yea, How about the dedicated field staff that was at the fields to midnight, and back at the fields at 5am to try to get as many games in as possible. Hats off to the Heart of Ohio!

After 5 years of traveling for softball, 8-12 tournaments a summer, this was probably our worst experience ever, all things considered ....

1. Rain cancellations
2. Poor communications
3. Poor decisions / lack of decisions
4. 50 munute games
5. "drop dead" should NOT be constitutional, it is completely un-American in principle ... NEVER take achievement off the board (and it did not impact us at all, but I still HATE this)
6. Less than expected performance

Wow, I even heard there were people who paid $5 to get inside the gate just to be told to "go home" .... did that "REALLY" happen to anyone without a refund?

The only thing that makes this past weekend remotely bearable is the VERY BEST fireworks show I have EVER witnessed in Blue Ash, and a free concert from Shooter Jennings, 38 Special, Charlie Daniels Band .... now that was a nice evening!

Thank you Blue Ash!
