Ha. Haha. Hahahahahahahahaha
Welcome to tournament baseball, where you don’t know the times (or sometimes even the days) of the pool games until a day or maybe two before. And there’s always a risk they will change, generally to accommodate a last-minute team coming in from hours away. From there, bracket game times are dependent on how the team did in the initial pool play. Have a rough couple outings, and you’re the lucky winner of a spot in the 8am Sunday game. Get really hot, and you’re now spending all Sunday afternoon and into early evening at the field.
Pro tip 1: Just because a tournament says it’s close to the beach, an amusement park, etc., doesn’t mean you’ll actually have time to spend there.
Pro tip 2: Make sure to look a map. Your definition of “close to” may not be the same as the tournament organizers.
Sounds like you're familiar with Sports at the Beach
Yep. And the Hershey tournaments. And Cooperstown. And Myrtle Beach…

PP who has been to Sandusky for a youth sports event - we were there last summer and I told DS ahead of time, many times, that in no way would be have time to go to Cedar Point. So despite the fact that for 6 days he could see it all day long, it was just going to have to stay in the background. Luckily we live close enough to be able to go to another time, but it was a bummer for a lot of kids when they realized there wouldn't be time to go.
Why couldn't you go? If they have an 8 am game they could have an entire day free. What else is there to do there?
It wasn't for a tournament type of event, they were onsite and either practicing or competing from about 7:30AM - 5/6 PM everyday. Was too much to then try and go at night knowing there was an early morning ahead.

PP and adding: if you like theme parks this is one not to miss. Build in a day or two to do it. It puts most others to shame.

I grew up around there. Nothing is that far from Sandusky . . . even in the neighboring towns it's still close.
