I was at the 16u Fields.....the umps were bad regardless if you were Houston, Dallas....etc. Dallas, Central Texas and Houston won the 16u bids....so I didnt see any one side calling at the 16u fields.
Bottom line....there were 3 bids.....even if Aces had help.....your team had a chance against others as most tournaments do. I see coaches get hosed cause they ride blues....maybe the blues didn't like your coach?
