[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot more soccer teams than softball teams. [/quote]

This is the real answer. Lots of sports outside of soccer are set up around tournaments [/quote]

Are there really?  I ask because it seems there are too many travel softball teams.  And its less about number of team, and more about interest in league play.  [b]As a softball Dad, I would prefer a tournament every other weekend (with a 4 game min) vs 2 league play games a week[/b][/quote]

Interesting.  Why is that?  Interested because I'm also a softball dad and much prefer the 2 league play games a week.

Do you coach?  Is it easier on coaches to do tournaments.[/quote]

We live in MD.  In FredCo.

2 years ago, my son played MABA baseball.  League play meant to having to be in Baltimore on a random Tuesday at 5:00 for warm ups, and then in Bowie next Wednesday, at 4:45 for a 5:30 game.

Tournament play means that weeknights, we are only going to the practice field.  And then weekends are for the games.

In MD, at least, if we had a B level softball league, it would mean going to Hagerstown, then Severn, then Columbia, etc all on weeknights.  That's just too much.

The alternative is that would do a FredCo/MoCo/HoCo league, which could work.  But half the teams would be REALLY good, and the other half would only be so-so.  And a weeknight game where you mercy in the 3rd also sucks, just in a different way.  [/quote]
