I don't know, what does that have to do with my questions?

or is this going to turn into an "ASA is better because that's what I work and we are more robotic and wear bluer pants" type thread?

I guess "What do you guys think of this event?" was a request for only affirmitive comments from like-minded individuals.

A softball World Series is always a good thing.

To rephrase Mike's question: how many teams are planning on being there, and where are they coming from?

No, just the same question I ask of the NCAA, USSSA, ISA, SSA, MLB or any other organization in any sport in the country that claim a "world" championship when obviously the "world" is not participating or even permitted to take part. And, yes, I had the same question when ASA used the term.

And I expect your next post to be something about the inappropriate use of the term "series".

I'm so glad I wasn't mid-sip when I read this. My nice 23" monitor at work would be covered with Mountain Dew.

You're ahead of me...

But, yeah... how is an elimination tournament a "series"?

It's a series of eventual eliminations?

With only 13 posts, you're new here... you'll soon figure out what Mike was needling about...

Similar to ASA's "directional" Nationals? Southern, Eastern, etc.?

I will say that last year in the PONY 'nationals we had teams from Canada, Russia, another former eastern bloc country that escapes my mind at the moment, and have had teams from the Bahamas in the past. While PONY has never thrown 'world in their name, national is a little misleading with about 12 of the 50 states represented too.

Hence, PONY is not included in my comment.

No argument with the "national" when territorially restricted though it is possible for a team to play in one of these tournament outside their territory.
