I'm still on the "blame the director" train. Look at Dunn's tourney. He does a good job on the teams he allows in, there are still guys that complain, though. I've played for several teams over the years and won it with teams, and been two and a bbq a couple times, but every year, every team I've played on, if we played ball, I bet had a chance to win it.
There are times where you have to deal with it. Fort Atkinson has a play in game and then an upper and a lower, first year I played, we lost our first game by 1 run and then went on to win the lower, and we run ruled a bunch of teams and they were complaining to the TD, but the team we lost to won the upper, it wasn't our fault.
There are tournaments you get into and of the 24 teams, you can basically pick the final four, but everyone is human, and if you can catch on of those KA/Sals/Venom/MCR/Subway/Fuzzys LuckyRabbit teams when they have a bad game and only score 5 or 6 which can happen, and you can get into the money rounds.
