40 major plus- is fine with BLD....or Lorenzi.... should definitely put the best teams in the youngest division on the safest fields since they should be the ones that hit the ball hardest.

I'm hoping that the WOMEN get to start and finish at BLD. For the past 3 years we've been placed elsewhere. 2015 Friday/Saturday at Pinnacle, Sunday we were lucky to play the final games there. 2014 we were at Arroyo Grande. 2013 we were at Pinnacle and Shadow Rock. 2012 we were at Dos Escuelas.

Can us Women please enjoy a full tournament at BLD this year?? Not fair to let the Men play there all the time. We don't have that many Women's teams to squeeze us into 2 or 3 of BLD's fields.

And, re: SS11's comment "should definitely put the best teams in the youngest division on the safest fields since they should be the ones that hit the ball hardest" --> Then Women's 40s-Major should also be included if taking his point into consideration. :o)

coop3636,
Don't think 55 Major will be at BLD this year
they played there last year. Though some teams had to play seeding games at another venue but all teams played BLD on Saturday and Sunday if they made it.

Stranger things have happened.
The 50 majors have played at BLD 3 years in a row.
My guys have never played there.
Hopefully we will this year.

BLD with it's super short fields was a joke for 60 major plus last year. Not sure why any major or major plus teams would want to play there.

Agree with Murray that BLD is too short for any major plus teams with regular balls. Mix in the Rock and it becomes ridiculous and dangerous.

Played at several complexes including BLD, but not Sunset Park and Desert Breeze. How are those two complexes?

Sunset is located adjacent to McCarron Airport so it's fairly central to all hotels. 6 diamonds total. 4 in the main pod and 2 in an outer pod. All have grass outfields.

Desert Breeze has 4 diamonds with dirt infields and turf outfields.

HAT MAN - There will be NO mid-day site moves for the 40-Major, except: On Friday, there will be split seeding pods (21 teams at Sunset and 20 teams at Desert Breeze) before everyone reports to Desert Breeze for Seeding Assignments ... There will be 12 games Friday evening at Desert Breeze affecting both bracket pods ... The American pod will play at Sunset on Saturday and the National pod at Desert Breeze ... Saturday survivors will all play at Desert Breeze on Sunday .. Good luck! ...
