And then the parents and coaches are mean to them, and they quit.

The games got way out of hand because fouls were not called on either sides. 11 year boys will be boys and will get physical when they know they can get away with it. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt. The tournament should find better quality of refs that ensure there is a safe game.
It's a continuing problem in all levels of the game. Not enough refs available to start and they don't pay the refs enough.

I'd prefer not to drive to DC for anything. Not even to the posh parts . DC is the worst.
Well so you know we don't want to drive where you live! Every time we are out in god forsaken, middle of know where, can I get an "ihop", lights are for ever and the character is never--- my kids are like why would any one live here, mom? There is nothing. Not even a soul. - signed the posh parts.

There’s a lot of problems you can plan for when you’re running a tournament, but unplayable turf fields isn’t one of them.
Seriously. That is crazy and never heard of it.

It is unique to BSC because they choose fields that are poor to begin with and any weather makes them terrible. There are enough turf fields in the region for weather to not be an issue.
The only reason the turf fields are available is because most fall sports ended last weekend,
When was last weeks tournament again?
