This is our 4th time at the tournament, first time in the 18U group (we're a 17U team) and the number of scouts is very impressive- far more than last year at 16U, and- I hear- fewer than will be at the 17U next week. My only complaint is that these scouts somewhat determine the lineup from time to time. They speak to the coaches, tell them who they'd like to see and the coach rearranges things to suit them. That's a little annoying at times. Happy to have the scouts there, though. We'll be at the 17U next week too.
This is one of my favorite tournaments each year. Well run, so many teams, load of terrific ball, great fun!
