What a huge disappointment this tournament turned out to be. First they update the hotline to say games would start at 11:00 Saturday, but didn't have anybody out working the fields until the first teams started showing up for their games at 10:00. then at 5 minutes to 11,they update again saying the games are going to start at 2. There was absolutely no way they were going to get games started at 11:00, why would they wait until 11 to make a decision that was obvious to everybody at the ballpark that they wouldn't be playing for some time. After that they start the 18's on field that should not have been played on only to cancel the 18U 's bracket in the middle of the first game. I know I have heard many thing that were not to flattering to Bob Bone, and now I can see why. This was a total joke. We will not play there again and will warn teams off when asked.

Dear anonymous message board guy. I did make a huge mistake in judging the "new" soil master red turface installed this year. I totally overestimated its drying ability and for that I apologized to the teams and made immediate refunds. The City would not allow us to step on the fields even though we had over a dozen people anxiously waiting to do so.
Our other divisions did go off at 2:00 and the other tournament in town that weekend, after a great effort, was unable to play at all. I am not perfect. I certainly have earned some of the criticism over the past 5 years. However I can say that it was not errors in effort, as we always trry hard to make every attempt to play.
If you really want to affect some positive changes, I am always open and willing to listen and learn. you can reach me at 314-565-8327 or robertbone01@gamil.com
If however you wish to remain anonymous and take cheap shots you are welcome to do so. Most people know the difference.
Bob

Big Fan, I understand that this goof ball has no credibility, however you simply have to wonder why someone wouldn't just share his opinions.
We certainly have made some mistakes and therefore have implemented new strageties to try to do better. The only way anyone can improve is to be aware of a problem and then honestly try to address it.
I guess that open and honest approach just does not fit todays "cyber" goobers.
Bob
