anyone know where you can see your teams points and does anyone else feel $295 is a steep gate fee?

Will,

  You can see your points by clicking on the Points Standings on the Home Page.  As far as the Team Gate Fee for our World Series events are concerned..............We HONESTLY thought and still think that we are HELPING our teams out from a financial perspective.  We talked to a number of teams that have played in this event the past few years and they greeted the idea with excitement.  As one coach said, "we will just tell our parents and collect $25 from each player which will cover the $295".  He has a team of 12-players and at $25 per player it equals $300.  An average family would spend a minimum of $85 in admission fees for the week (2-parents and 1-sibling) and this is a HUGE savings in these tough economic times.  I even had a parent email me a couple of weeks ago thanking us for doing this.  To make matters BETTER, you can actually get that entire $295 rebated back to you by staying at one of our host properties which offers rates comparable and most times LOWER than what you can find on your own.

   I hope this explains a little better our thought process on this.  We just took a lot of what we have heard from teams that have participated over the past few years and tried to pass on some type of "savings" to our teams.  Thanks for your comments and good luck this season
