most people know what tourneys they are entering, and the answers to this hread is more no than yes....I'd like to know then WHAT tourneys they would attend that didn't have a host team?...let's see, nix Stingrays, nix Compuware, nix the Classics Fall tourney, nix Marysville, nix Teays Valley, nix Lancaster Shootout, nix Greenville, nix Wilmington
so, basically, play at Marion and Berliner, what Orrville (if you're a 14u team)...people, tourneys are normally some type of fundrasing for an organization....you guys would be doing the same...and, no one is going to get into TD-ing without some type of investment and windfall (if you can really call it that)....
i do agree with vanalmsick...I'm sure it is tough to coach AND be a TD...I'm sure it is done, and done right, but I wouldn't want the stress...but I wouldn't be denying anyone the right to do so...
so, what's the rub?
