You gotta admit the fields are terrible, and a backstop and some balls at the end line would be a bonus.[/quote]

whats your point? i have been to a lot of tournaments. have yet to see balls at the end lines. maybe once i saw some at the first face-off of the day. [/quote]


What's my point? Really? if you don't know, then you need to go to different tournaments. And I think my last post is a fair critique of a for profit/non-charity event.
On a running time tournament, it isn't right to not have fence just beyond the end line and extra balls kicking around either with the Refs (they have pockets, right?) or on the ground. Chasing balls into team tents can and should easily be avoided.
