Reasons for NOT going to States?

[Sam]

You are wrong

Execept your last answer was the same as mine which means I was right but missing two other options. Have a nice day

Uhhh...no...you were wrong. I highlighted your statement and it was wrong. Lots of teams go to National tournaments after playing in their Metro and Association tournaments. Now you have a nice day.

Okay- I was wrong, but without my post we might have not had the great privlage of Sam informing us of all how Nationals work. I will have to take you up on the offer by having a great day.

Your team sucks and you want to skip the 2 and get a head start on your BBQ.

I have heard the 2 game argument. That is why a bunch of teams play TCS that weekend, 4GG.

How about " We can't compete with the big dogs". With that attitude you never will.

I agree 100% (if that's the real reason) and think it's chicken sh- manure.

But what's to say the Big Dogs won't be in Park City? That seems as good a tune-up for ASA Nats as any.

They wont. And it isn't.

I am here for the sole purpose of sufficiently informing the less-informed and ill-informed. You are welcome...

Demonboy, you mustent be so mean I figure that when it comes down to it, you may think you have a good travel ball team, but when you face the best you crumble. You realize then that your only option is to go to TCWS and hope you can hang. There are some good teams that go from Cali and they are the dominant teams.(Cali. Teams Always in Top 10 at TC) The rest of the country is still playing catch up. Now that Cali teams that do go 70% did not go to states or any qualifier, just happy with TC Berth. The remaining 30% tried to qualify for Nat. but couldn't make it. I know quite a few teams that went from TCWS last year and to W. Nat. LL would go to both TWCS and Nat.
Bottom line if you can't run with the big dogs then stay on the porch!!
Don't cop out by saying we are not going bceause it's only 2 games. PLEASE!!

[color=#FF0000]While its great to achieve for that goal, lets be realistic, not every travel team is destined for greatness. Some girls just like to play[/color

not to be mean, but playing travelball with nationals NOT the goal is what we call "rec ball"...travelball is too time consuming and too expensive to be have that as a goal imho...

Well if that's what you call rec ball, you would hate to see what we call rec ball.

Is there a point in there somewhere?

Teams are dropping out of our HOF qualifier just cause now its a 2 game guarantee. 45 registered, got down to 41, now up to 43. Guess the best of the best with the $300 price tag scared 'em away.
