what are costs of said rings? Anything over $15 is ridiculous.
Don't worry for the tournament hosts. They are making more than enough to cover the costs of those rings.

It is a bit obnoxious. Middle school kids running around with a couple rings.

My son has a few. Its been around since at least 2011 when he got his first from coming in runner up at a State Tournament. Now they give them at small local tournaments, it's pretty sad. Last week they won a tournament and he got a Tournament Champs T-shirt, he was happier with that than a ring.

Was this a "Grand Slam" tournament?

Those rings are cheaper than a trophy. You can buy them for less than $2.00

They may have had rings at both "Grand Slam" and "USSSA" tournaments this weekend.

You get a ring... and you get a ring... everyone gets a ring!

I'd make him. Rings are for graduation, mairrage, and real championships. And only one of those are actually worn.

From a logistics standpoint.. Rings are much easier for the tournament directors to handle/transport and the same goes for the parents/kids.. much easier to put a couple of rings on the dresser than a trophies

That's the worst reasoning for anything I've ever heard.
