Disagree on principle with #9. IMLE, there are plenty of males involved in the sport that may need to make us of said container, though apparently few do. ;-)

This year ASA did compression tests on all the bats at nationals and put stickers on the ones that passed. PGF did not do any bat testing other than umpire inspections outside the dugout.

I do not know how your experience was with the testing but I thought it was a joke. I do not have a problem with testing but numerous bats were failing because the testers did not know what they were doing. After hearing about problems at the 10U and 14U tourneys I was worried. My DD's CF-7 failed three times and a CF-8 that was pulled out of the wrapper for the inspection failed. I even asked the UIC about the process during the coaches meeting and let him know other sites had issues. They continued to fail the bats. I was told by another coach one of his dads called a Demarini rep to get it straightened out. After that the machines were calibrated and read correctly.

Restrooms were a very unique set up, Almost like a row of 10 portajohns, but concrete. 7 of the 10 were unisex and 3 were women only. There was just a toilet and small trash can in each stall. There was an outdoor sink around the corner. I am sure the women only stalls were in better condition than the unisex stalls, but I know the moms that I heard comment were NOT happy with the situation.
Sounds like the ones at the main snack bar. Did you try the ones at the small snack bar by fields 1-4? Regarding the small trash cans, I suspect one reason they're present is for people that aren't accustomed to putting used TP in the toilet - the alternative is more disgusting.

Bill Barber Park in Irvine has the nicest restrooms - comparable to what you'd find in an office building. That's where the championship games will be played tomorrow. Anyone going? If so, enter via Civic Center Plaza to park near the stadium. Should be a good crowd for the Premier games (14U @ 11am and 16U @ 2pm).
