Just curious how other coaches/teams/parents would feel about this situation b/c it really irritated me!
Our 14U team played in a NSA tournament this past weekend. Apparently there was not enough 16U teams so they took two of the 14U teams and put them with the 16U bracket to play a one day tournament on Saturday but then they pre seeded the 2 teams into the 14U elimination games on Sunday. These two 14U teams went on to play in the championship game on Saturday for 16U and one of them one the championship. To top it off the 2 14U teams that played in the championship game in the 16U also ended up playing the championship game in 14U. So we all signed up for the same tournament yet these 2 14U teams get 2 chances at a championship? Im not sure this is a fair way to run a tournament that we paid $385 for. Yes all teams need to play the each other and need to be challenged by teams that are obviously awesome teams but for 2 teams to get a chance to play in 2 championships just doesn't sound right to me. There were enough 14U teams without those to play on sunday so Im not sure why they got the chance to win 2 championships?
