as the world turns wrote:You may not need to earn a berth to the TCSWS in Park City and buy your way in, but does that make any sense for a team to do that. I think Ground Zero did it that way last year and traveled all the way to Utah, they came in last place (50ish something) in the 14u. If you are not good enough to place and earn a berth in local tournaments, what makes you think your team will do better in the world series?
You don't even have to be good to "qualify" since qualified teams can continue to
play TCS "qualifiers". The tomato cans start getting berths handed down to them as early as March.
The whole thing is just a money grab. It means nothing.
