I think this issue is for them to have shoes, not flip-flops, sandals or whatever. BTW, boots are not a problem, most comfortable footwear in the world

I think the point is simple. How is wearing flip-flops considered being "properly attired?" It doesn't befit a coach of the game.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

utrip D is 0 HR and its a DBO

for utrip tournies, there are probably more E teams than the other divisions combined, but thats mainly due to the way they reward team points for their WS. E teams playing in a D tourny get double points and there are probably 10 D/E tournies for every C tourny, so its much easier to make the WS playing E. its actually a pretty ingenious $$ making strategy for utrip.

I was reading on another board that there was a WS tournament that there are teams not seeded as all teams entered did not have enough "points" to qualify. So, if I don't need points to qualify......

E ball has been a scam since day one regardless of the org. As predicted a couple years ago, in ASA many teams have found another way to sandbag by sliding down to E. Proponents can say whatever they want, the E program hasn't provided any more participation than before.
