For softball, I'm all for two games a day twice in a week to shorten the length of a state tournament and save families money. Baseball is a different story with the pitching limitations. I'm saving my two games in one day to the end of my district tournaments, if I can, for the IF game.

Next year I’m going to try to see if during pool play if I can do all double headers to shorten the WS tournament by a day, or give teams a day off.
Almost all are used to playing multiple games in a day with their select/travel teams.
At the WS, the doubles are for example 10am, and then 4pm, not back to back.

My 2 Cents… prefer not to have double headers but do what you need.

Glen,
Thanks for the packet.
I have one beef with the schedule that has been a pet peeve of mine for many years. I don't expect you to change it now. Just registering my opinion for others for future consideration.
I am very against days with double headers if not all teams play two games in a day. I know that most every softball "tournament" has the teams playing multiple games a day. However, the principle of fair distribution still applies. It is not fair when some teams have to play two games in a day and others do not. I understand why this was done. I just don't agree that saving that day in the calendar is worth it.
One of the things I am glad to see is that all teams will have played their first game before any teams are eliminated. It is easy to miss this when there are bye games. It just seems like poor form to send a team home before another team has played their first game.
Thanks for all you have done for so many years. I'm sure the tournament will be a success.
Regards,
Pat

My sincere apologies for missing the deadline. It really pains me to be late on anything, but especially something you are all depending on. _______________________________________________ Wadas mailing list Wadas@lists.rodeonetworks.com http://lists.rodeonetworks.com/mailman/listinfo/wadas
