Ive never been a part of the voting process, but I am interested in their complaints. They argue that they have been making these demands for years, but essentially the slow pitch guys /people not involved in FP essentially shut them down with their voting block.

Can that be true?

Have the desires of the people playing this game been ignored?

Its their game... who is a slow pitch person (not you Mike, just in general) to tell them them college players are accepted in JO play when they dont want them there?

I'm sure ASA wants to use their nice stadium, but that is some pretty crappy conditions they are explaining.

And who the hell can't think up a better way to run a 64 team double elim w/ 2 pooll plays in less than 9 days?


Or is this just new whining they are making up off the cuff. We are talking real money and issues and if these are their gripes, as heads of gold teams, should they have some standing in the process?

Be sure, I'm not arguing for or against - but just a few years ago we sent people around to ask beer league dudes how they wanted their game.

Is FP not worth the same courtesy?


There is a lot of anger at ASA right now, and it shouldnt be that way. We all care a great deal for this sport and IMO, there are some losses being taken and some mitigation needs to take place.
