No screens

As of last night, the Tourney director has said NO SCREENS!!!


Actually, it's pretty much a completely different team. There are only 4 or 5 guys coming back this year which sucks, we had a badass team last year and had a lot of fun playing and winning with this group.

As for the HR's, I spoke with someone involved in the tourney and was told 8 HR's is what it will be again this year for A and B. Screens are still up in the air, hopefully not but I'm sure Hockey will come in and have them up. I'm excited to play on all turf fields.

it should still be 12 Hr's when A plays A, and then 8 hr's when A plays B.

I'm all for the screens, we should use whatever were are using at Military Worlds.

Gents. need a little help. My team is considering making the trip to Bandaid. Any assistance with the Park address, Hotels (Condos/homes), Baracks spaces or any other living arrangments to reduce our cost would be greatly appreciated. The dates are 13-15 June correct?

As much as it kills me to agree with B-Link on the screens, he is right. If we are to use them at worlds, they should be used at every military tourney. Resources for the screens may be a different story. If they don't have any there, I would not expect the director to buy them just for one tournament.

Just found out the other day that I'll be able to make the trip again this year. Excited to play on the turf fields as well. It'll be great playing with you again bro...make up for all those games we missed out on in Ruidoso!

Can anyone with any confidence provide the day and time the Band-Aid Tourney will start. Is it Friday night?

How they've done it in years past is the ice breaker/coaches meeting is at the Holy Cow on Thursday night and then the first of the two tournaments starts Friday morning. The first tourney is all day Friday and the second tourney goes Saturday/Sunday.

Jeff, it will start Friday morning. Thursday evening is the ice breaker. Last year it was a double tournament format that started Friday morning. First tournament finished up early Saturday morning and then the 2nd tournament started immediately after and finished up Sunday afternoon.

That kind of blows. If they only get say 20 teams they may not need to start until Saturday right?

Here's a crazy question....where is everyone staying? I know I've heard the Homewood Suites by the fields and Springhill over by the airport....anywhere else?

I plan on sleeping at the Holy Cow on Thursday night...probably somewhere up on the roof, so I really would just need a room for Friday/Saturday :D

Hey Will, check on Peterson too. They have good rates. That's where a few of us stayed last year and you can get 2 bedroom suites for $49 a night.

R2W!!!!!!! Look it up...
opening cerimonies are at 0730 with the first game starting at 0810. I would assume the brackes will be built on current USSSA points.

Any updates here? Tourney is a few weeks out and not a lot being said. Are they in fact going to use the screens or no? Any increase in the amount of varsity teams?

To my understanding no screens, but i will have to confirm that. I know the complex doesnt have any to use.
