Thread bump.
I can't believe this event isn't filling up. I looked at the other events and they are either full or near full.
Are the teams from KY, TN, SC, NC and VA going to let some St. Louis event show them up
Come on out and show your support for the Battle of the Bluegrass.
I will be traveling over 300 miles to volunteer for this event again this year.
[npoe] No offence to St. Louis [npoe]

We are willing to work with anyone who wants to bring a team. I would love to host more out of state teams this year.

Volunteer wise, how is it going? Need a competent scorekeeper/field power with 7 2015 events under his belt?

Kinda forgot this event was more or less in my backyard...

New off-seasons are hard, we barely got 24 teams and that was with 3 'b teams' competing. Good luck KY/TN! I know the struggle is real trying to recruit teams to come to your event.
