I find it interesting that the TOC in Rogers Ark 2 weeks ago had nearly 10 LESS teams than a simple qualifier going on in Shawnee KS (basically KC) this weekend. Not sure exactly what it is saying, but it is definitely saying something.

Maybe that the locals get pretty good treatment and non-locals maybe don't? ... No reason to over-think this ...

Or perhaps it was because that several teams from northern states like Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota participated,?

Let the past go Dave and move on to what the players of the Midwest want. It is sad they treated you badly, but it is a new owners now and Randy wants to give you a proposal. Please listen to it. Thanks in advance.

Talked to umpires about Rogers and they said the fields were horrible and they spent so much time working on them. 2 of them were nothing but mud the whole time we were there. The Mid America complex has 4 turf fields now and the other 6 are all much better than the 6 in Rogers.

Parman and creins ... You seem to have misunderstood my comments in this regard ... I have no preference recommendation on a specific site for the Midwest event (which is somewhat different from your apparent subjective desires) ... However, I have a strong aversion to SSUSA getting burned again following reasonable reliance ... As the old saying goes: "..Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.." ... I'm ALL IN for what's mutually beneficial to the greatest number of interested parties ...
