Really
It's amazing how people speak so badly about Drash yet accept all of the rings and gifts they provide to the Military Softball community. WOW!!!
If you don't like it, get a team together and beat them at thier own game or stay on the porch barking.
You can always put up the money that Drash does then you won't have to worry about them.

I thought the tournament was pretty good but a few changes would make it better IMO:
1. Tournament provide NIW bats at each field with a variety of wieghts 26-30 if using Stadium balls. At the end of the tournament sell the bats at a discounted price.
2. Get rid of the screen since safety should not be an issue if everyone is swinging stock sticks.
3. Stick to the original format with faking being allowed by pitchers.
4. Change the rule about losing first game...too many teams lost their first game so they could play B.
Hope everyone has a great off season recovering from the 2012 season..see you next year!

Softballfan123456789....can you count higher,
First let me say that I have a lot of respect for Jeff Jackson and after talking to him in PC for the USSSA Military Worlds, it seems that he is a very nice guy. There are several of the Scrap players that I consider close friends and love to see them succeed. However, to address your asinine post here it is….
First I can say that DRASH has not won the USSSA Military A Worlds in the past 3 years. In case you were not there, Pendleton won it back to back years and Legion won it this year. It seems that DRASH has tried to buy a “ship” but that may not be the case and they have just come up short on the big stage (PC). As for rings….WHAT RINGS? Stadium balls on a 300 ft field is not a bad idea however, why not have those same stadium balls in PC on the big field for the A division?
So before you tell someone (Tap2284) who is probably a better ball player and person than anyone on your team, you might want to check the facts. It’s the off season…what are you doing to get better?

First of all, I don't think I said anything bad about Drash in my post. I just stated they might have had a hand in getting certain things done with the tourney.
Put a team together, that is a great idea. I am sure I could put together something...... might just see us down in PCB next year.
And when did softball become about how deep your pockets are?????

Why so mad flight?
I don't care how many worlds you have won flight the comment was not directed at you, but since you want to interject here goes.
You have won back to back titles, but that was two years ago. What happen, not working harder than the next man last year???
I don't know or care to know who tap1234556 is! I can assure you I plenty of good players on my team. Discussion closed
If you or tap12233 think the rings they won ain't worthy, get your team, pay your entry fee and play. End of story.
Have a good off season, see you on the dirt.

You may not see us on the dirt because we normally are playing on Sunday. I think you guys may have checked out of your hotel on Saturday and back on I-10. What division do you play in anyway?

On behalf of All World Sports, thanks to all the teams and families that supported us and participated in our event. It was a very good weekend and some BOMBS were hit. We are open to complaints, suggestions, and anything else that will make this program better. We are two years in the making and will try to get bigger and better. We will not hit the stadium ball next year, probably a 44/400 ball. The screen will be used, liability/insurance issue. All teams will be classified before tournament play. If your sanctioned Varsity A in USSSA, you will play A in AWS. If you finish in the top 10% in Varsity B at USSSA Worlds, you are playing Varsity A at AWS Worlds. Varsity B Champion from SSAA will also be required to play Varsity A at AWS Worlds. Varsity A will be 16 homeruns with no time limit. Varsity B will be 6 homeruns. We are working on the 2013 schedule. It should be ready in the Jan-Feb time frame. There will be the Warfighter Series consisting of 4-6 events with the season ending in Columbus, GA at the South Commons Complex. Location,dates, tbd....................... One event either in Arizona or California is in the works for our west Coast brothers. The program will work if you guys will support us and help it grow. No other association really cares about us or actually listen to us. Flight I would love to hit a stadium at PCB but you and I both know that it'll never happen!!! As far as the DRASH talk, what Jeff does for military softball is unheard of. Love him or hate him, he is actually doing something. Ask the guys and girls at PCB, SSAA, and AWS who are getting rings!!! If you have any complaints or suggestions, feel free to contact me and we can discuss them. Anybody interested in being on the AWS Advisory Board give me a holla. Thanks again to the folks that came out.
Columbus, GA is a great choice....great complex!! NCR will be there to support you fam!

I liked the format. made for a fun end of the year tournament where everyone could just swing away and it still stayed safe. As far as Moody's suggestions:
1. ABSOLUTELY!! took us a good 3 games and 4 different umpires telling us 4 different rules to figure out when you could hit a foul ball and when you could hit the screen without getting out
2. I like the stadium balls. it took the shaved bats out of the game and the only games that were hr derbys were the couple y'all played against scraps.
3. YUP!!! AGREED
4. Agreed AND it'll take care of the hr derbies. I understand they wanna make it like Boones but dang it gets a little boring out there LOL.
