I know this question is geared more towards association/tournament directors, but I was hoping to generate some thought and maybe add some voice to an issue I find with tournament play in this area. Having moved from Georgia to Virginia last Nov, the first thing I noticed was how all pool games seem to be seeded up here. I understand certain ASA/PGF qualifiers and some other big tournaments need and should have a seeding, but your everyday weekend tournament constructed with seeded pool games, on Saturday, seems unnecessary in my opinion. There needs to be game play available for teams to utilize their back-up pitchers and other position players in their back-up positions versus “every game counts.” Pool games should be just that, warm-up games or throw away games that don’t matter to afford coaches that opportunity, and for the players to grow in their back-up positions. Any thoughts on this topic?
