Well that was easy. Last year, as a 13U team, we tried qualifying for ASA/USA nationals all year and came up just short every time, before finally qualifying in our last shot by winning a 32 team tournament. Lots of blood, sweat, tears (and heat exhaustion) along the way. This year, in our first real tournament, in only a 16 team field, we won our pool play games 9-0, 16-0, and 24-0. Bracket play was going to be much harder, but there was no bracket play. Rain washed it all away. So they gave the two berths to the two teams that didn't allow any runs in pool play, and just like that, we're in. Normal here we come.
