I think ASA can and will make the changes to effectively make that league useless, but they gotta listen.
Obviously Gary is feeding off the anger. It only benefits him really to have this tourney under his little "realm". The rest just want a good tourney, and they dont feel like they are getting it in OKC with ASA so they are going to go there next year.
So if ASA adjusts, they'll come back.
There are other tourney orgs in CA doing similar things. They get 100's of teams in these showcases and they have a lot of money and influence to do things.
ASA just needs to not get so bogged down within itself.
I would say ASA should rethink ACE, rethink regs that are having 1,000's of the most popular bats confiscated, 9 day 64 team tourneys on only a few fields, and these other things that are happening that are costing these people real money and they are reacting to it. Charging the college coaches is lame.
Times are tough on the ole wallet, so Gary is striking now.
Plus the college player issue - the college players gotta go.l
Semper Gumby
Always flexible.
Some times you gotta adjust fire.
And I hope to call with you in the Gold in that Stadium too!
