I have never heard of this event but have had dealing with this organization a few years ago with a tournament we were in in St. Louis. My advice to you is to stay away, poorly run and lots of attitude.
I too have not heard of this program, it must be new, however I have a very different view of the AAYBA organization.
My teams played in their tournaments for several years and not once did we ever walk away with a negative experince. Some of our teams did well and some not so well ... but all left happy.
I have been around the block and been to most all major tournaments throughout the country represented by many different National organizations, and while I will not knock any that I wasn't happy with I assure you that at least from my experiences in St Louis, they were among the best we ever played in. Well organized and they always went the extra mile for us.
So my recommendation is different than that of seedthrower - I would recommend AAYBA to any team looking for a tournament for their pre-high school age teams.

My son's team played in a AAYBA tourney this past summer, and it was a good experience, well run, he hit a grand slam also!
We have had good email exchanges withthe director, and have registered for the state tryouts for the Missouri team. I will let you know how it goes.
Also, AAYBA has expanded to TN and a couple other states for 2007
