I can’t tell if this is guerilla marketing or people really care about the World Series. My son is an on age player on a HoCo elite team and the last thing I’m interested in is another tournament. His team already plays in 7-8 high level tournaments each year. The holdback situation is never going to change for recruiting so the grade level is his competition and no single age based tournament is going to change that so I don’t see why anyone bothers. Out of MD/NY clubs can compete in normal grade based tournaments. Texas Nationals which is a Dallas area club is very good. You CO dads should focus on trying to be like them rather than whining about holdbacks all the time.
