LOTS of angry, disgruntled teams and people saying it was a money grab - but not sure what they could have done.

As we're walking away, a parent comes up to us and starts ranting at us about "Are you f@#%#% lazy??? 4 innings? This is #@%% bu@#%@#". Like we made the tournament rules.
Sounds like a money grab. If the teams paid to be there and did not get what they paid for, they should get some of their money back, IMHO. Not your fault, the tournament's fault.
