12U ASA Hall of Fame

[sbfanatic]

Very tough one to predict but here is my guess just a guess
In finish order:

Diamonds
Bandits or Longhorns could go either way leaning more toward Bandits on this one.
Thunder
Fusion

[Queen of Diamonds]

Hey boys mind if a lady plays in your sandbox. I just love this site it is so easy to figure out who if from what teams. In case some of you geniuses have not figured it out there is a search feature that lets you go back and view all of your posts. When you mention your team good or bad in 87% of your posts it is easy to figure it out. Anyway, on to my thoughts abot this weekend. It does look like the top 1/2 has more quality teams than the bottom half. The best early round matchup will be Longhorns vs Bandits. A very good team will drop down to the losers bracket after this one. I dont see where the Peppers have a cakewalk. I think they will have their hands full with Tx Force and then if they get by them will probably lose to Fury. 96 GLory seems to have a good draw for the first couple of games. Not real familiar with them just going on club reputation. The real crime of this whole tourney is after 8:00 am on Saturday either the Fusion or Thunder is going to be in the losers bracket. This is a toss up as well. I read on here where somebody said Fusion has a key injury. If that is the case then Thunder might have a chance. Haven't seem the Diamonds play and it looks like there are mixed reports out there but they look like they got a favorable draw. Kruzers and TRH should put on a good show early for bragging rights to top 97 team in the tournament. Here's my take on the 4 teams to make it to the 10:00 games on Saturday night.

I like TRH till the 4:45 game
Fusion/Thunder/97 Glory all look like good teams - tough draw for all of these teams. If healthy I'll take Fusionto be there at 10:00. If not its REAL close and I would go with Thunder on a coin flip

Longhorns and Bandits in a battle of the titans. Whoever wins this will EASILY make it to 10:00. Again on a coin flip I take Bandits. ***** Whoever wins this game will be in the Top 3 guaranteed *****

So Thunder and Bandits battle it out at 10:00 in the top 1/2

Peppers will be tested with Force and this could be my upset pick of the tourney. However, I will stick with the odds and take Peppers until 4:45.

Fury should cakewalk to the 4:45 matchup with Peppers - I like Fury making it to 10:00 in this one. Whoever loses this matchup will not make it past the 8:00 am game on Sunday and therefore will not finish in the Top 5.

Diamonds, after using up all their money to pay off officials, should make it to 6:30 with a matchup against Austins Finest. On reputation alone I will take the Diamonds to meet up with Fury at 10:00 in the bottom half.

Bandits will make it to the 11:30 game. If they are the Diamonds of old then they should face the Bandits. If not, then a showdown between Fury and Bandits guaranteeing both of these teams a spot in the final 3.

Finally, my final 3 would be

Bandits
Diamonds
Fury

Although I really like the Longhorns as well. Too close to call. I really think Houston will have 2 of the Top 3 with N Tx the final spot.

Well, I didn't put this much thought in it. After all, someone came on here some time back and said we were all idiots anyway I like 2 0f your top 3 and since there are only 3 places my other pick will be between Longhorns and Thunder.

Thats crazy the loser of the Fusion / Thunder 8 AM game has to go half way across town and play @ 4:45 PM..

oh and nice of you to join us Queen.. by your name I could take a guess who your team is..

[Queen of Diamonds]

And you would be wrong, just like some of comments in the past about your team. For the record I'm a typical big-haired Houston lady from one of the teams I've got picked to go far

That being said, i'm guessing you are from the Bandits.

[sbfanatic]

Congrats Queen of Diamonds, she is our new genius of Heybucket, she managed to find the search function and thinks she has got it all figured out...whoppee....who cares...uh oh, she will be stalking me next.

If your from Houston you have had very little exposure to the 96 Diamonds so where do you get off claiming they pay off the umps? Cmon, those girls just go out and play the best ball they can. They have had there ups and downs so far this season but they usually take care of business on the field.

Good Luck to all the teams at HOF it will be a great tournament.

Bob- Your top three are in the same part of the bracket, and cannot possibly finish 1-2-3.
