Wondering if anyone knows of alternative games to the AZ Classic Junior Academic game?  The game this fall is the day after the national date for the PSAT exam.  Doing both will be impossible, given our travel time to AZ, so looking for ideas.  Thanks!

Never understood that either. If your son is a high academic player I would suggest the Stanford camp and maybe a Headfirst camp. We will be attending the Stanford camp end of June.

The people at AZ Classic LOVE to schedule this tournament and the Senior tournament during the most critical test dates for Juniors and Seniors.  Kind of ironic that it is called an Academic game, yet, the single most important test for an Academic Junior, especially for Hispanic students looking to achieve National Hispanic Scholar status, is the SAME time as the "academic" game!  I have complained 3 years now and have tried to remind them each year to look at the test dates, but the response I always get from Tracy at AZ Classic is "Tell him to re-schedule his test or make alternative arrangements"  Here in Arizona at least, there is 1 day for the PSAT test that counts towards National Merit.
 
Bottom line, they really do not care about academics only baseball.
