So here is the back story and what we are looking for:
- Currently involved in a first year age 12U team based in South East Florida (Ft Lauderdale area). Based on results and progress we are a high-B/borderline-A team (i.e. we compete well with the true second year A teams but we are not yet beating them but will)
- We are looking for a 'target' out of area tournament since we will not do 'B' nationals because of previous bad experiences(mainly because there is always a bunch of 'A' teams dropping down or teams with 'no record' let in on a waiver so why bother)
- We were originally going to see if we could get into the Carrollton, Atlanta USFA tournament (40 teams) but it is full and the waiting list is pretty long so it seems unlikely we will get in there. We are looking for other options.
- We don't want to see any of the local teams, we don't want to travel this far for 4 games - prefer something 6-7 guaranteed.
- We prefer to go out of state - so Georgia, South Carolina maybe even Alabama in about that order of preference. Late April or after preferably.
So what 'big' tournaments might be worth us considering. Any help appreciated.
