I agree. Bill, I can understand the buisness aspect of it but why not bring the top 4 back on Sunday? We all know that the last game isn't going to start at 11.

[SW52]

dont know didnt ask either

You should ask....you do a great job....plus UFC 99 is tomorrow.

[JHAMP]

I think something is wrong with the sports betting in general. I cannot add an event either.

If I bring back 4 teams then people are screaming it's all about the money and why would we not just play a couple of more hours and finish in one day. I could have made more money as a business if I would make this 2 days. I could have stopped at 6:00pm and ran a Saturday night RR qualifier, but I asked the majority of the teams their preference, and all but 3 people I talked to preffered getting it done in 1 day, the other 3 had no prefference. Also I have 5 or 6 out of town teams and they now do not have to get hotels for the weekend.

And the last game is at 9:50 (if game is at 11:00)

No need to explain yourself Bill. You run GREAT tournies and like you said your darned if you do and darned if you don't. What would the boards be like if there wasn't complaining.....

[eigz12]

nothing like driving an hour and half + home after 12+ hours of softball....i'm pretty sure the out of town teams will be getting a hotel anyways.... what happened to the days of winner a couple three games in the winners bracket and making it to "championship sunday", sitting around the park and having a few watching while the loser's bracket play all night to see who came out of it to make it to the next day... not knocking anyone, but i miss those days

Hold on a sec there buddy... I was asking a legitimate question and in return got a legitimate answer...........Thanks Bill

The comment about complaining wasn't meant towards any ONE person. It was a generalization.....Sry to ruffle feathers.

[BackstabberSS]

Hey Bill, are there showers out there? That could buy me another two hours since I have to leave early lol

[Booger00]

Can teams hit across the street at Randy Buck?

[BMackAttack]

Looks like a strong field, but doesn't look like the weather is going to co-operaate. Unfortunate!

I'm getting the shakes with nothing to bet on .
