Of course, I also understand this may have been the same team from Indiana who won their D States, but was sent away to the E Nationals!!! Their roster supposed even had "D" as the classification. Their local District Commissioner told the ASA Rep that they allowed this because they (local ASA) was tired of sending teams away and not winning games. The funny thing though was that apparently, the teams which finished behind this team played in the D National in Salem.

And they wonder why some teams get upset about classification
Yes, the uniforms were the hot item of the tourney. However, we can only tell those guys so many times in so many different ways before play begins that uniforms must match. It had been sent in writing multiple times to the managers, and the managers were told in the managers' meeting that uniforms must match. The TD even loosened up the restrictions a little for the first day, but everyone was expected to follow the uniform rules after that.

Anyway, the OP was referring to league play, not championship play.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
