| April 28, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 308 posts | York SSWC Tournament Hi! Just looking to get some feedback on the York SSWC Qualifier Torunament this past weekend. I was very disappointed that Sunday's games were cancelled. I have played in York many times in the past when there was rain the night before and the fields were made playable the next day. I understand it is what it is, but.... Anyway just thought I'd get some other comments on this subject. |

| April 28, 2008 kbl Men's 60 544 posts | i was at the york qualifier. the ground crew worked on fields after it rained fri night. they did a nice job. rains came sat. night. guess no one called them. city of york workers could have fixed the fields. no one must have checked our field as it was playable with a little work in 1 hour. umpire crew did good job.. thanks. |
| May 3, 2008 curt Men's 60 11 posts | We stayed at the Yorktowne Hotel. The rooms were great, the staff fantastic. We were a 5 minute walk to some lively bars and fine restaurants. The fields were a 2 minute drive away. Great complex. I can't speak about the other divisions but the 50 AAA, a competitive field. Sounds like the makings of a remarkable tournament. And it was memorable. To cancel the games (we found out at 6:30 Sunday morning) without making an attempt to make the fields playable is sinful. When the directors don't have plans in place to deal with rain in the Northeast in spring, well it's hard support, hard to justify returning to those tournaments. |
| May 5, 2008 2awesom Men's 50 308 posts | hey curt well said! i was just about at the York fields when I got that call at about 6:30 AM. I was told the the City of York would not allow them to work on the fields because it was a Sunday? That seemed like a lame excuse to me. All the area Sunday League's played their games, no kind on $$ refund was offered either, I doubt if we will be back in the fall for their season ending tourney unless some kind of concessions are made. |
