I think it's scratched this week. Haven't seen a bracket, and it's late now.
Surprised they didn't post anything up about the brackets for any of it on one of the bigger Facebook pages.

So season is over and I win the pick um
There are a few reps who will let raffle off member bats on various facebook pages but prepare for them to take a hefty chunk out of whatever you're raffling them for.

What happened?
Was running to toward the fence to make a catch. Used his foot to try to jump up along the fence.
His foot/cleat got caught up on the fence while he was making the catch. Sounds like when he went down to land his cleat stayed in the chain link.
Broken fibula and dislocated ankle.

Here's something funny/not funny that happened this weekend. I go to the Stadium to hang out, couple teammates are playing. Brent is pitching for Legacy and Scottie is playing with Stoop; both prep for worlds. Hacker asks if I'd pitch for Maniax and I said "Nah, didn't bring socks or stuff so I for sure wouldn't." He tells me they wont hit middle at me and I said, "You may not but I know Scott will!" Fast forward to Legacy v Stoop and my joke is well....Scott comes up, Brent is pitching and fills the hole and is drilled in the knee on a line. I yelled to Hacker, "I told you Scott would do it!" Brent is now out for Worlds with a fracture of his patellar. Ouch! They are still friends. Haha.

Unreal and at a meaningless tourney.

Yikes? No pads on my guess? Geno Buck caught me at Shako off the inner calf, luckily it caught mostly meat. I pitched one more inning before I came out as I was not wearing pads.Only missed one tourney thankfully. Pitching, hazardous to ones health.

I'm due to get beaned in the legs one of these days. Every time I've pitched, all the shots up the middle have been near me, but never right at me. I'm a 3rd string pitcher, at best, so I think I can get another year or two before taking one off the shins.
Just painted my pitching helmet again last night. Looks a little better. Probably even better for my Wednesday team next year when we have red jerseys. Right now, it's a lot of Carolina blue.

Nope, no pads just his mask. Pitching is hazardous to one's health, for sure.

I'm really tempted to choose Detroit City Rake for D World's as I feel it's there 200th time playing D and they place too much. Unless I'm confusing them with that Detroit Smooth team? D and E is a huge joke in USSSA.

Early off-season bump predictions and rumors.
D bumps:
A&B
Ziegler
Timeout Tavern
The Crew
Arvig
The Jack
Paradis Inc.
Coors - Shakopee. T-5 at Nationals.
C bumps:
Keyguys
3x/Box
Outdoorsmen
Heartland bank to A
Outside the mandatory bumps I don't think anyone else did well enough.
Rumors I've heard:
- part of the crew is leaving to start a new team
- The top two D teams are talking about merging for C.
- A&B was grabbing blackouts best players
- The throw together team from Stifftungsfest that took 2nd was talking about making that a C team next year.
- Gull dam is trying to merge with a big team but I'm not positive on which one.

I have been told, through the grapevine, that Heartland won't get bumped. From my understanding, there is a new ASA rule, incorporated last year, which says a team has to finish in the top 10% at B nationals for consecutive years before they'll get the bump to A. Maybe I completely misunderstood what I was told, but it seemed pretty straight forward. If that's the case, they'll be able to play the same tourney schedule, skip natty's in 2019 and keep B cards.
Who was on the throw together team?
Also very interesting about The Crew considering the year they've had.

Very well could be but every team would do that wouldn't they?

That was my initial suspicion as well, and, to be honest, I guess I didn't ask a whole lot of follow-up questions, as to how the rule was interpreted and how it would be enforced.
