Arizona Fall Classic Jr in AZ and PG WWBA World Championship in Jupiter are at the same time this year...if you are a 2019 who is interested in "higher academic" schools on both coasts (not necessarily Ivy), which is a better place to be seen and be recruited at?

Whichever one you can get on a roster to play in the event. AZFC is tough to get into as a team, I have heard the waiting list for teams is 5+ years. The WWBA World Championship is also an invitation only event...if you are on a team in that event you are lucky and should attend. AZFC is also scripted in that they bat 6 per inning, it's really a showcase as opposed to a real game like WWBA. However if you look at the list of schools that attend the event which AZFC puts out, it is a very strong showing of schools. You can also try to get into the AZFC All Academic tryout and game. As the name implies, there are academic requirements to meet for eligibility, but that tryout alone gets you in front of a ton of high academic schools, more if you are selected from that group to play in the All Academic game.

Even the try-outs for the Academic game is well attended.  What I like about the AZ Fall Classic events is that the fields are all at the same complex.  The college coaches don't have to drive from one park to another to catch someone they are interested in.
