Oh absolutely. The longer breaks, people eat and drink more. I live 10 minutes up the road, and still wouldn’t leave if we had a couple hour break because then I’d have to find parking again.

Literally couldnt leave for hours yesterday because of the parking situation and the street being tied up in front of the fields plus turning the road into a one way for two days and people still driving down the "wrong way" is questionable at best. Honestly pretty disappointed how the harvest fest/open state was handled...really used to like the the tourney, but open state being "forced" to play with the Harvest fest is kina a joke, my .02..

The parking situation was a mess. Hopefully the city comes up with a better plan than that for next year.
I got to watch a little of open state. The games seemed good. Talked to Bremer a bit when I was walking up, and he said the fields were a mess when you got started. They were nice by our game at 3:30.
We didn’t play well, but it was fun to have a throw together team and play with some guys I haven’t played with a ton lately. Too many errors on defense. Stranded a small nation on offense.

Yea we started at 10am roughly, it had been raining the entire morning and it just rained harder during the game. The tractor just spread the mud around and made it even messier. Our coach was worried about our players safety since we got nationals and worlds as our next big tournys. Had they delayed until 11:30 or noon it would have been fine, but because the harvest games were behind our open state games they pushed to play. I pitched from a puddle ankle deep in water and couldnt really set my feet because i kept slipping in the water and mud in our first game. Naturally because i couldnt set my feet I got zapped twice, my ankle in the size of a grapefruit and my shoulder is a couple different colors....sure glad we "had" to play right away so the other games wouldnt be behind....We didnt play well and it might not have mattered but weather mattered to me on the mound when it comes to safety and it now may be weeks before my ankle is healed, makes you question playing all year for a state tourney.

After winning WI D state in June? That seems weird. Of course Prairie Island is probably the next closest real ASA tournament other than WI state. I did get to see them play just a little bit at WI state, they looked like a very good D team or a lower C team. I'm guessing they wanted to get another tournament in before Nationals, I've been told that the top 3 from WI state are all going to Nationals in MI. I'm surprised how wide the locations are of the guys on that team. From Madison to Appleton is 2 hours, and an hour and a half at least from Appleton to Greenfield. Looks like half the team is from within 30 minutes of me.
Northwoods Elite played south state in Rochester last year too I believe.

They are a B/C team in WI. You know the team is stacked when they are forced to play the open in any Dells Tourney but due to the powers at be in WI they are still "D".
Only 9 teams? Seems like there were 25-30 a couple years ago.

Afraid of the bump and 2 teams are playing so they can appeal
2 teams in a first round matchup, by chance?

Pretty soon there will be nothing above D left ball wise.....with all these teams not wanting to play up or ducking certain tournys so they dont get bumped.
