TMSAA Tournaments

[ONLYAFAN]

I feel that it would be in everyone's best interest to have guidelines to follow instead of leaving it up in the air every year. This is what happens in Area II. Things are different every year, coaches do not agree on what should happen, and no one ever wins the big fights. If rules and guidelines were somewhat established by an authority figure, people could not argue with those rules. They would either follow them or not participate.

 

An authority figure in TMSAA should just attend one of the coaches' meetings in order to see how much guidelines are needed.

There should be some basic guidelines for tournament seeding. Area 2's seedings were messed up this year bad and were meant to be that way by the hosting coach. He's probably in his last year coaching at that school because his daughter is a 8th grader and he doesn't care if he makes people mad. He moved the meetings around until not everybody could attend. They should at least have to have the tourney stuff decided before the first game of the year and send it in to the TMSAA for approval. The meetings to decide these tourneys should be on Saturday and not moved on the day of the meeting like it was this year. All teams should be required to attend. They should have plenty of notice of the meeting (like 1 month).

Sounds like Little League Baseball

Solomon,

 

We were the frist school to become a member in the TMSAA for our area. I'm well aware of the insurance issue. However, the TMSAA owes it to it's members to allow the competition to be fair. If things don't turn around the only thing left for us to to find fair competition wherever we can.
