IA, if this was a rec league tournament, they should have done a better job of controlling the team rosters.
When my DD was playing rec ball, the rec teams had the option of entering an end-of-the-season tournament for $50 rather than the normal $350 entry fee. The downside was that the tournament was a C class tourney and all the rec teams were basically there as cannon-fodder for the C class tb teams. Even though DD's team didn't make it very deep, I still thought that was a great deal. BTW, the tournament was the catalyst for her to move to tb. Once she saw how softball COULD be played, she wanted that for herself.
IMO the organizers needed to communicate better and either have a completely rec tournament or let the rec teams in for free or a reduced rate versus the amount the tb teams would be charged. It's not fair to let a tb teams come in and beat up on rec players without warning.
