But I thought all the CA teams had to do was sign in and the trophy was there's. Some have said they fly all over the country to ensure a birth. There are some freaking studs in the south, I may not know all about softball but I know enough to see a mule team when I see it. Baseball here has plained off, but softball is exploding. It pulls more fans in HS than all sports but football games. Travel ball looks like a free carnival from the all the spectators.
I'd like to learn more about the Premier Tourney, never heard of it.
Before you completely write-off CA teams, you should probably go to the Premier Tournament website to see all of the teams that are attending from CA and then check to see if these teams (OC Batbusters, Worth Firecrackers, etc.) played in the ASA Gold tournament? If they did not, than I don't think you can assume the South and Southeast are dominating fastpitch unless they have played AND beaten the best teams in the nation.
