Jim ~
Your jumping on the band wagon before understanding the implications of the brackets as they stand. As you pointed out, I don't have a vote. As far as everyone being OK with it - I don't imagine they've seen the bracketing. I think your being a little naive bud.

I've seen the brackets and I'm OK with it. I'm off to get my field work done then it's up the hill. Good luck tomorrow. I hope I can sneak back later to see whats going.

I know I am no longer on the board. But, should't the bracketing be made public. The BOD after all has a responsibility to its members. If the decision has been made this should be posted. This then puts it out there for members to know what is going on. It may create some reactions from the field, but atleast members, parents etc. can't say that they information is hidden and kept by a few.

These are some of the questions DC warned us to get resolved earlier. But yes we need to put the brackets out there for everyone to see.

in all honesty the brackets should have been completed BEFORE the first game was played.

If there's an "if" game (meaning the undeafeted team loses on Saturday, causing one more game) it should be played on Monday. Just MO. Both teams would be well rested, umps too, we'd draw another crowd, maybe sell more food.
The merits of our original bracket were discussed and I don't think anything's changed. No team should have an easy route to the title. Each team should be challenged and made to show their depth. That's what makes a champion.

Leave it to Crash to use food as a determining factor on a playoff bracket.
Ernie: Lance said Robert would love to play for the Stars but he has a LL game in Ceres Saturday.

I think the City tournament is a great idea for Turlock but I also think the 1st place teams should be representing Turlock at TOC, not a 3rd place team. Suddenly we are worried about beating our own more then we are beating the other Champions.

Yes...but the tourney series in Turlock will do a lot for promoting baseball in Turlock. Just a thought, but if we had the 9th and 10th as full days we could get much of the games out of the way. Bring Turlock together at Julien in Promotion of Youth Baseball. And.....likely have a fruitful fund raiser with concessions and a BBQ. This would reduce the need for a DH, and place all teams under the same pitching pressure during the first rounds of play. I know Sunday....but for the travel ball teamers they do it all the time. Just a thought

The City Championship is far more exciting that the TOC. My team's gone and I'd much rather by-pass TOC for this. It keeps generates revenue and excitement for our leagues, keeps 8 teams playing after the regular season instead of four. Our fields are much better than some of the rock piles we ahve to play on... and I think a lot of our fans would comw out to watch games for our tourney while it's usually just parents taht go to the TOC games. Of course I don't have to worry, the Cubs won't be finishing first this year! lol Hell, we'll be lucky to land a play-off spot!

BYRD IT IS NOT BEING WORRIED ABOUT THE TOURNEY, ITS ABOUT MORE KIDS GETTING TO PLAY LONGER. THATS WHAT THEY SAY!!?? WE ARE SENDING TEAMS TO FACE OTHER CITIES CHAMPS AND THATS NOT FAIR TO OUR 3RD PLACE TEAMS. T.O.C IS ONE AND OUT, I WOULD BE WILLING TO BET THATS WHAT HAPPENS TO MOST OF OUR TEAMS.
