Sorry to hear about the poor behavior. That is disappointing. I never noticed that but I try to stay as far away from the parents as possible and find my "lucky spot" and I can mumble to myself without anyone else around. I have some great conversations.
The only incident I noticed was the need for UIC to be called to discuss on the field ruling and he popped up from the stands amidst one teams parents to make a ruling, which went in their favor. I'm sure it was an impartial decision but it doesn't look good when it plays out that way and then he proceeds to stand near the team's dugout and mingle with the parents. He is better off sitting under the pop-up and come out when called.
I wonder if new folks were managing the tourney this year or if the weather delays made things overly difficult. It was/is a little frustrating not seeing the scores of the saturday games to get a sense how it shook out or scores for Sunday bracket play. It would be interesting to know the score of the Sting/OBS sunday game, as well as the finals. Did Batbusters beat Breeze 14-12 or 3-2? Beats me.
Hopefully that type of information is updated at some point or perhaps I missed it. They had typically had an excel file in years past.
Weather not as hot as years past but I still managed to get sunburned.
