Mostly depends on the complex. Hidden Valley and Blue Valley can take quite a bit of water. But OSGA gets pretty nasty when wet.

I does depend on the complex, but the comment about OGSA is not accurate. Since the new field surfaces were implemented a year ago, the OGSA field have been playable when most others in the area couldn't.
That all being said, it doesn't look promising for anyone this weekend unless the forecasters are wrong.
Thanks Joe. Sorry for the misinformation. I should have added we didn't play there last year, so I wasn't aware. Sounds like they got a much needed upgrade. In the past, it was like playing on snot when it got wet.

Possible tornadoes the next several days, and rain all weekend. Sounds like a normal Memorial Day weekend.
Regarding the ASA sites: Half of Hidden Valley is Ag Lime, and drains well. Legacy Park drains awesome. Wilbur Young is dirt, not Ag Lime and does not drain well.
Regarding the USSSA sites: Frank White does not hold up well. Adair and Markey are two of the best draining complexes in the Midwest. Adair's infields are slightly bowled. So, the water runs off through the dugouts. It could rain several inches and within an hour we have been on the fields at Adair.

Not sure where you are staying, but if close to those fields you may spend some time at the Bass Pro Shop. I would stay clear of the Independence Center. There have been some issues the last several months at that mall
Boo - not sounding good for us. We have had nearly every tourney rained/snowed out here...we were so hoping to get one in in KC. That is a long drive for a stay in the Holiday Inn...

Let's hope the weather forecasters are wrong...again. We need to get the KS state high school tournament in Thurs and Fri before those girls can play in the Memorial Day tournament this weekend....
