This is the one big catch to not having tournaments. At 16U and above, players want to get in front of coaches, and coaches only have so much time to watch games. The tournament format definitely works for them.

And for me, some of the coaches are a part of the problem. On the one hand, they say they don't like showcase game lengths, would rather the players play a full game, but doing that means just two games a day (in theory).
As an umpire, I don't like showcase games, as the rules are really relaxed. We just call balls/strikes, fair/foul, safe/out.
