If the base/post isn't sponsoring you then don't bother with their name. Have a team meeting and ask the players to vote on a team name.

So has the location been decided or are they still taking recommendations? I know this location is still pretty close to the home of the Band-Aid, but why not Aurora Sports Complex near Denver, CO.

Lots of stuff to do in Denver around that timeframe... Denver Broncos spring training, Colorado Rockies baseball, Elitches Gardens, lakes/fishing, 16th st mall, etc. etc. etc. Plenty of established support mechanisms in that area (i.e. restaurants, hotels, etc.)

Shelland, the votes are already in and they only gave us a few selections on probably locations for new years worlds (5 total, 4 east coast and 1 in Texas I believe). and from what I'm hearing Euless was the front runner but I just don't see how they are going to accommodate for all those teams playing on just 4 fields. my first vote was Euless but when I noticed it was 4 fields its just doesn't make sense holding a world tournament there. So I went with Myrtle Beach complex. But we will know soon enough on location for next year so we can prepare.

What a bummer... SC has 7 fields with no score boards. SMH. Nice turf though...

Hoodles, AZ will be great even though I don't live there. they have some great complexes that can hold that many teams. BLD/pioneer park, victory lanes. NM where I stay at, I would say where they held the whole enchilada. Countless fields. The enchilada had over 300 teams total playing and no hiccups from what I heard. Just not the greatest area.
JBT I'm wondering that too when it comes to the verdict. Whats the timeframe for finalization so teams can prepare.

It will probably be announced at the USSSA National Convention next month!!
Here's a hint: Plan to travel to Columbus, GA fellas!! Fly into Atlanta and make the 45 minute / hour drive over to Columbus. Home of Ft. Benning. Great complex there.

I know brutha! Money...Money...Money, that's what USSSA is all about. I've received some pretty good intel that the city of Columbus made an unbeatable deal to USSSA Military Program. We will find out shortly.

Were bringing an All Military pick up team
dude by far one of the best tournaments i've ever been to. Ball freaking flies in that tourney. We ended our run last year with a 420' out on the open fields. Freaking E.
Will, it is a great tourney! Hoping I can get on a team to make it out before I head to the east coast......
Youll have a blast!!!

I have played on Benning and only recall one good field, the stadium. If that is what everyone is talking about it won't cut it with just one field for men and one field for the women. It is going to be a challenge to find a good solid complex with 8 fields for the right price because like Pony said......it's all about the dollar. Not sure what those turf fields went for in Colorado for the Band Aid but that may be a decent option. Don't think it gets too much more centralized than that.

I would still throw out the complex in Aurora. I mean, hell, if they can host a Conference USSSA tourney, why wouldn't it be good for the military circuit? I still think it's time to split the tourney ... I know we're all wanting to get together, but I'll still gripe that the East Coast bubba's don't have to travel as far to play in World's.
