An Old Mans Opinion - A Few Days After 50's Worlds
This is just one mans opinion, it might be shared by others, who knows. I’m not bashing anyone so please don’t take it that way. Plenty of pros as well as some cons. A company doesn’t get better if it doesn’t hear back from its customers. I’m sure circumstances that I’m not aware of contributed to some of the cons, but if they could be fixed as the years go by, that would be awesome.

PROS:
Field 12 at Sunset Park (Played here the first day and early)
Arroyo Grande Fields (Nice fields, grass was smooth)
Most of the Umpires at Sunset Park (Good hustle and new the rules)
All the Umpires at Arroyo Grande (Championship Sunday, seems like the best umpires were here, thx)
The competition (Loved playing different teams, all but one team we played showed great sportsmanship)
The Fans (The group that followed 50 Degrees, WOW)
The Weather (Didn’t get warm until Sunday)
Brackets being updated at the fields (Every field we went to the bracket was good to go)

CONS:
Field 14 at Sunset Park (The batters box late Saturday night was awful, a lot of players going thru it, I know)
Field 6 at Sunset Park (Gopher holes, not sure of a way to fix that)
An umpire at Sunset 6 (Hoping he was just having a bad game)
Playing at 8 a.m in the winners bracket on Sunday (I understand a ton of teams and all, but was hoping for a little more of a rest before having to start back up)
A $2 medal for second place (I know we play for the love of the game and all that stuff, but most won’t be wearing a meddle around town. A t-shirt on the other hand would have been nice)
Not dragging and watering the fields between games (Don’t know if equipment, people and water was available)
Brackets not being updated on the online site (Not sure of what has to happen to get this corrected, but it seems that this is a complaint we see more often than not)

Some of the above might be “Wants” and not “Needs” and with everything going on maybe it’s not possible to be corrected, but a guy can dream can’t he?

The tournament itself and memories made are priceless, thanks for putting it all together and looking forward to the upcoming season!!
