I don't really care if you do or not.
I just think it's a joke to award the 1st place trophy to a team who didnt even take the field.

As for this comment, have you seen the competition at the parks these days? We live in a world where everyone wins and everyone gets a trophy for showing up. God forbid any kid for wanting to play with kids who can actually throw and catch. There is no outlet for these kids other than USSSA or Grandslam at the younger ages.
Park based "All Star" teams get routinely trounced in these tourneys even at the lowest level.
Contrary to what this board thinks, there is a great number of people who actually know their kid won't play college sports or become the next Mike Trout. All they want is to see their kid play competitive sports and complete at a higher level than park ball. The horror.

It wasn't his kid. They (USSSA) make a mint, however if you think rec. ball will help advance your kids game you're fooling yourself. I'm not talking about being a pro / elite high school player etc..., just competing in an advanced skill game. The bottom of the barrel AA teams are vastly superior to almost all rec. teams. There are exceptions, but as a rule it's not close. Kids learn the game and compete against other kids who are trained/skilled... that's the purpose. The NEGATIVES are outweighed by the POSITIVES.
