Not only did we stay for the 7 days, my son stayed another week to play in the 18U tournament. I used every last Marriot point I had for our hotel, and then some. My wife and son drove down to East Cobb to play in the 16U tournament (which they won) then my wife flew out of Atlanta. At the same time, I was flying in from Virginia (I saw my wife briefly at the airport) and then I headed to East Cobb watching son play in the PG WWBA 18U tournament. After the tournament, we drove home. It was a lot of baseball. It seemed like if my son wasn't playing baseball, he was either eating or sleeping. I watched a lot of Wimbledon on the hotel TV that year
We did spend a little time watching some of the other teams and players we heard about. It was at the PG WWBA National Championships that my son realized he could compete at a high level, but he was not elite talent watching some of the mid-90s and 100mph guys that some teams could trot out. It was also a time where my son would be introduced by a family friend to a HC (in his future conference) that would begin recruiting and checking in on him regularly. He exposed us to many things we hadn't considered.
If you have some extra time at PG WWBA do some networking and observing. It was well worth it for us.
As always, JMO.
