Sheesh... Really? Including  drive time we spent 18 hours consumed by this tournament. And I've spent around $1300 dollars this season... My son just finished travel baseball, same stories, more money. For what? All because of the greed for money and glory.  I stand by my statement, it's a puppy mill for sports. 

If you think this only occurs at travel tournaments, you haven't been to any rec games in a while.  I have seen it all and it happens at all levels.
