I honestly don't know. Nobody really cared about the small trophies unless they were unusual, so it wouldn't really matter much. I never saw one for that tourney.So, where are the trophies? Maybe you can channel the coach and do an expletive laden poem with clues to find them? We could have our own version of Discuss Fastpitch's Forrest Fenn's treasure.
Our coach would take the big team trophy and give it to the 'tourney MVP' each weekend. If anyone cared about a trophy that's really the only one they wanted.
I have decided maybe posting it isn't a good idea after all. Once you take out the curse words and identifying information, there really isn't much left to see. Basically, 'I'm the worst person ever in the history of humanity to challenge him on how he runs his tourneys', 'I am just playing for the trophies', 'I'm the reason umpires don't want to ump anymore', 'the next time he sees me, I need to watch my back', 'he would make sure no team my DD played for every played in his tourneys again', 'he was going to throw your trophies in a ditch', blah, blah, blah. You know, the basic stuff you'd expect from a TD you have never met in person even one time up to that point, after asking a very simple question.
By the way, I am none of those things. In my area, my kid has a recognizable name and because of that I have met a lot of people along the way. On tourney weekends, I'm just one of the parents that sits down away from the dramatic parents minding my own business. I know he just wanted to try to corner me into doing something to embarrass myself or my kid. Unfortunately, while he deserved a reply and having his diatribe sent to his bosses to see, I had a feeling nothing would change and I'd run into him again later. For the sake of my kid and keeping her name clean, I did nothing. I never deleted that email though. I still think at some point it will do some good for someone.
