Well, we off and running with the 18U AFA
Nationals. 124 teams from all over US. No teams from outside USA this year. The Pre-Nats, nothing more than allowing teams from out-of-state the chance to get use to fields they will be using, went pretty good only minor problems. Know most of you could care less, but just thought I would mention it, been kinda dead of late. Catch you in eight days. Damn, drew the Holiday Inn room this time, not the Hilton. glen

Just returned from the Nationals
and I had the championship and the IF game. Championship game I was at third and the IF I was plate. CY FAIR INTRUDERS are the 2001 AFA champion. The heat was tough, so were most coaches on last two days. Had 28 games in Nats, and six in the Pre Nats. More later........ glen

Glen, Sounds like you worked your butt off hope that air conditioner was working well in the holiday inn room.
Tell a dummy slow-pitch ump like me what the heck does the letters AFA stand for? Get back with us and tell us all about those wild tales and great coaches stories you must have had Don

AFA is The American Fastpitch Association. They have been around for 12 years now. Really just a letters game to allow more girls to play I think. Not much difference in the rules, a few. Age cut off is main thing. January 1st of current year is cutoff. In this tournament we had 122 teams (2 teams dropped from when I had my first post on this) average team count was 12 per and we have pool then bracket - tournament runs from Tues to Sun, with championship normally around 2:00. This year in the 18U for first time in the four years I have done this age group we had an IF game. Long answer for what does AFA stand for, huh.
