PGF Nationals -- really?! 65' bases

[softball007]

Went to the first bracket game this morning to watch our friend and Team USA member dominate -- throw 17K no-hitter... only to learn afterwards that the bases were set to slow-pitch distances. Not that the other team put the ball in play much but they had no chance.

I don't think I have seen an instance like this before. Really disappointing to travel thousands of miles to play the game off by several feet.

TC Nationals last week had them at 70 feet. I paced them off and notified management. Come to find out they had 4 fields set wrong. I had to fix them myself so the game could start on time. Also, the field was not dragged, watered or chalked for the the last 3 games. Hard to find good help?
Did you know your I Phone can be used as a tape measure?

So can my Samsung, but it gets really dirty as I press an imprint 108 times end-to-end to get to first base.

That's why you get the XL phones, less flips. Are any of those apps even reasonably accurate? I feel like I get pretty good just knowing my stride length, at least for pacing out 35'.

Which TC National? I was in GA ... our biggest issue was the weather (and mismatched umpire uniforms . . . don't get me started).

The grounds crew was pretty good, maybe too good since they wouldn't let us back on the fields, but kept telling TC the fields were playable.

Well the different uniforms could have indicated what rule set each of the umpires was going to apply LOL

So Cal. Out in beautiful Lake Elsinore area. Right around 100 degrees with a little humidity on artificial turf. Wonderful.
