Discussion: Vegas 80 Major Plus schedule

This is to request that the 80 Major Plus schedule be reconfigured. Given past practice, with only 3 teams, it was reasonable to expect a 3-day schedule. Hotel and flights were booked accordingly, now with possible issues in making changes. It’s also possible that 2 of the 3 teams, if the #1 seed, could actually play only 1 game on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We realize that the overall number of teams, available fields, umpires, local leagues, etc. are factors. Your willingness to at least consider a revision is appreciated.

Discussion: Vegas game schedule

Previous years, because of so few teams, the 75 & 80 Major Plus tournament was scheduled on 3 days (MTuWed), not 4. Since this year is no different, some of these teams have booked hotels and flights expecting the tournament to end on 9/24. Hopefully, this will be considered when the schedule is completed, realizing that the number of teams in other age brackets and available fields are factors. Thanks for your support!!

Discussion: TOC Diamondplex field

Preferred address for Diamondplex is:
85 PSC Access Rd., Winter Haven
Also, realizing that the schedule is set, Florida tournaments at this complex blocks 8:00 games on field “A” because of the sun rising behind the pitcher. Be prepared.

Discussion: Winter "Worlds"

Each year, there seems to be confusion about these two tournaments sometimes resulting in incorrect bookings and/or dates. Suggest that the name of the tournaments be changed to “Eastern Winter National Championships” and “Western Winter World (or National) Championships.” This would be the same as the title of the East and West Nationals in July.

Really? A potential concern could be that field assignments are “tentative” possibly affecting lodging. In fact, a field change was posted for Session 1, albeit minor.

Discussion: Player releases

After playing in a tournament with Team A (75 Major Plus) must player be released to play for Team B, also rated 75 Major Plus? After playing a tournament with Team B, can player be released a second time?

The TOC schedule has a conflict in the 65/70 division. On Friday, Venom 70s is scheduled for two 11:00 games.

The 8:00 games you reference indicate 60/65 Platinum on the grid. My question was about 65/70. The game schedule I’m able to see on the website is dated 1/17/19. Don’t mean to extend this as the game times can be confirmed on site. Thanks again.

At the TOC, the Diamondplex game schedule for the 65/70 Platinum Division indicates that the 3rd seed games are 9:30 on Saturday, Feb. 9. However, the Master Field Grid indicates those games at 11:00. Which is correct? Thanks!

At the Winter Nationals on Tuesday, November 4, the Florida Legends 70's are scheduled twice at 1:30 pm. Obviously, a change is needed. Thanks!
