Subject: How are the tournaments going this weekend?
Jeff Cup was a mess in our experience.
They scheduled the boys to play on grass fields at 8am on Saturday. It rained all afternoon/evening on Friday and through the entire night. It was still raining when we showed up for warm-ups at 7:15am. After warming up and getting soaked for 45 minutes, we were told at 8am that the game was postponed until 5pm ...
Ridiculous. Even the most pedestrian house league has someone tasked with checking field status around 6am and sending out cancellation/delay notices. In this case, it had been raining since the day before so you'd think that someone running the tournament would have been sure to check the field status early and make the call -- nobody was caught off guard with this weather. But no, let's have everyone get up at the crack of dawn and schlepp to the field and stand around for an hour getting soaked before postponing the game ...
Very lame.

Yes, some clubs had a bad weekend at the different tournaments, not just at Jeff Cup. Obviously not all, because that's literally impossible because someone has to win.
Did a local club hurt your feelings?

Many don’t do team training in winter so they all look bad at these early tournaments after time off.
