Anybody able to find list of teams attending the ASA 12u nationals in Moline, ILL? We can see how many of the teams are going to ASA vs. PGF, and whom is going to both(if any)?
Then I guess you should include the NCAA and the IOC, Little League and probably quite a few other sports organizations in that group since that is how they determine many of their venues. As previously noted, there are tournaments that do not receive bids for which ASA does try to find a bid.
That is true and just how much do you think the expenses and fees for tournaments would rise if ASA becomes the shopper?
So.....what are you waiting for? Contact your local government, get the CoC involved and see what you can accommodate. Most people just sit back and bitch because everything isn't just handed to them in a nice package with a ribbon. You admittedly are in a place which can accommodate and thrive from hosting something like this. There are plenty of models in your community, but then they would also be your competition. But what do you have to lose? Get a couple people involved, get a copy of the bid requirements and form from your commissioner and see if it can work for your community. At least, you are trying to do something other than sit back and wait for the next guy to pick up the ball.
Little League I could see a comparison...No offense intended MTR but the others are like comparing apples and watermelons
From my business experience (where I do actually work despite my love of this site), I can tell you from having to solicit business myself that if this raises costs significantly then the organization if not managing it properly or the product is flawed... I do not think the product is flawed in anyway. On that we would have to agree to disagree.
Thanks for the idea...I will begin working on this as it would be SUPER COOL to see some awesome youth Softball here in my own community. As I was not the person who posted this but now know how it is done I will look into it and see how I can help my Parks and Rec crew make it happen. We would love it.
