Re: Everyone's A Winner?

Re: Streamline Awards Ceremonies?
At the latest, you have a 6 minute field timeout between SF-4 and F-1. Use those 6 minute breaks (as well as any earlier 6 minute timeouts called by teams or necessitated by back-to-back matches) to...

Re: Capabilities Needed to be Picked at Champs
More than anything else, captains are going to want teams that get to the batter at the end of every match. This means avoiding teams that break down, get stuck on defenses, suffer frequent radio or...

Re: Are 8 play regional reasonable?
He claimed a lack of ignorance why other events couldn't give 9+ (more than 8) plays for 60 teams (over a full event) when another event did 12 plays for 40 teams in one day.

Re: Championship Waitlist
First off, the cost of 2 district events and a district championship is $9000 in registration fees.
