I could see it maybe getting played with some sort of one pitch rules maybe for late Saturday Sunday ? But more than likely going to be delayed a lot? Did teams drop out?
Only 1 team has dropped out.

Got to play 4 games yesterday. Fields were soggy, but it really wasn’t bad. They had a couple dudes putting dirt down and doing the fields. St. Joseph does a great job. Fun small tourney.
I do have to dig out my 2nd pair of cleats, just in case my regular ones don’t dry out by Wednesday.

Andrews Park drains pretty well, it's too bad they couldn't get the games in.
I found a list for 3rd in C: Portside, Mn Monsters, Mercenaries, Venom, and Willies. Just gotta find the D one now.

Game with Venom was a battle, but so was the game with Minnesota Heat for us(Express). I was happy we got the tourney in with the big rain that was supposed to arrive, but never happened lol. I know there was some pissed off people about the way it was ran and I thought I heard there was a little argument with Geno Buck and a manager of a D team about the way it was being run.
Speaking for Express/M&M it would've been fun to see who battled back and if we would've been able to beat Sauce Monkeys. I would assume Venom would've come back through.
Knutson/Warriors got the host berth
Showbombs unpaid berth.
I assume you guys would have had beat Sauce Monkeys based on what I saw.
You guys were rolling.
Sauce Monkeys must have had a hell of a weekend or be a totally different team than the one I saw last year.

Yeah I would of liked to have listened in to the arguments of Geno and the d manager. Talked to Geno for the first time a little bit Saturday afternoon, had heard mix feelings about him, I thought he was a super nice guy for the 2 minutes we talked. Then again we were lucky to have no loses.

Sunday would have been terrible to play right? Seemed to be raining with 30 mph winds, I think it was 39 degrees in Eden Prairie at noon

Venom had some good hitters. 3rd baseman hit it hard, so did 3rd batter. Top two guys in the lineup from crew were solid.
Heats cf I thought was also very good all around player, Reme and his dad got a little heated, I thought it was funny. I really don’t know them though.

Saw on one of the two Facebook pages that it was some dude from Lifted Optics.
I'll do the picks standings this afternoon. We can add in who took 3rd in C once that all gets figured out.

C T-3 with Show bombs and Warrior, and I believe 3rd place money was split with those 2 teams.

Three tournaments this past weekend, and everyone got some points out of the conference tourney. Seemed like the trickiest one was the D tourney.
Here are this weeks results:
JMac612 (Blueline) - 55
Chembry (Horsemen) - 47
Maximus Decimus (Pollyanna) - 45
thelastsamurai (M&M) - 44
Beauner (The Unknown) - 40
Bell44 (Silverbacks) - 38
BL19 (Precision) - 37
Yoke (Horsemen) - 37
MNBaller (Dewey's) - 36
Scunions22 (On1) - 34
TSFingRocks - 33
Larsl10 (Precision) - 31
Sjoquist (Outdoorsmen) - 31
There are two conference tourneys going on this weekend, so we'll pick those. Wild West Days has a lot of throw together teams, so that one doesn't really work out.
Things should pick up again next weekend, when Shakopee happens.

I forgot how the points work, do you get points if your team takes top 3 or if they win?

Too sweeeeeeeet
You should have gotten 5 more points. So used to only doing conference tourneys, I forgot to add your points for winning.
I just happened to be standing there when the guy was running his mouth. Their game was supposed to start at like 6:30. Geno had been telling everyone to be there and ready to play an hour before game time. The game started shortly after 5:30. I noticed a guy walking up the path from one of the teams and he was obviously unhappy about the game starting before he got there. They lost and the manager walked over to HQ and was heated. He did a good job reeling it back in and shook Geno's hand. But a couple guys ran their mouths. Geno walked over and one guy who yelled that Geno should "learn how to run a tournament" turned his back to Geno. Geno approached him and the guy yelled for Geno to get away from his wife and kid... whom he stepped behind when he saw Geno coming. Overall, pretty comical. The manager ended up agreeing that they weren't there at the time they were told.
Watched the little "Purcell " blow up..
He got hit in the thigh or middle section pretty good then yelling.. next batter hits a ball on the ground and he fld it and threw the guy out at 2nd.
Looked like reyna kinda put his shoulder down for a little cheap shot..
Purcell always seems to be Involved it something

No the dad was chirping a little then little Reme got in a run down and was tagged hard and took exception to it, dad as third base coach took offense as well. Most the heat guys seemed really nice/cool guys.
