Only the players that don't go to Area Code play there.
That seems bassackwards 
An excellent observation, spizzlepop.
Keeping the pot stirred, eh?

Correct indeed.
Only "TEAMS" go to Farmington. The rest of the "players" go to AC.
Just wondering if anyone out there has a copy of the bracket with game times they can post? Trying to make some plans, but the Farmington-Connie Mack website seems to be down...
Ken,
I know of several players going to Area Code that Epitomize the definition of TEAM when it comes to playing the game for their teams. Many of which would bypass Area Code to play for their team in Farmington if they were fortunate enough to have gotten there.
If it is true that only "TEAMS" go to Farmington and "players" go to Area Code, why do these "TEAMS" find it necessary to pick up other "players" to get there. A real TEAM would do it with their own "PLAYERS".

Do we have to revisit that discussion?
H&U -- I hope your son tears it up at AC, knowing that he would rather be in New Mexico.

Hmmm, seems to me that many of our sons have been on teams that borrow other players or have been the player borrowed. Does that mean there are no "real teams" out there?
Collikar,
You are right. I personally don't feel there is anything wrong with picking up players. My son has guest played with a number of teams over the years.
I just think that some of Ken's posts do an injustice to many of the kids that attend a showcase or go to an event such as Area Code. A kid can still be a team player and attend these types of events under the right circumstances. Those circumstances being that his team always comes first in the event of a conflict.

agree
Here's a site with brackets and times. You can also tune into live broadcasts here. I'm hearing that KSNN will be in Farmington to broadcast video, but no details yet.

Agree
Wonder if KEN would catch in bullpen at Area Code. Since MOST of those "PLAYERS" will have plenty of money! But you can do some good fishing in Farmington, You clean fish to, KEN?
Could someone e-mail me that picture of Ricketts Park in Farmington?
Thanks!
Thanks!
