First Timers @ PG Events

I may be wrong, but -- just not sure if these PG tournaments actually have a true 'showcase' component, which is where each player is evaluated in a very controlled environment (run the 60, take some grounders to check arm speed and footwork and so on, take BP cuts, etc -- followed by a couple of games). PG does both tournaments and showcases - they are different animals.

There will surely be people there to evaluate the players, but it may not be in a 'showcase' format at all -- just the tourney games themselves. Anyone else know for sure?

PG definitely "keeps an eye" on players, especially ones that stand out, at the BCS and WWBA events. But Krakatoa is right on. They are not true "showcase" events. There are just too many players in the tourneys for them to make/publish individual reports and ratings for the participants.

If you want a "report/rating" you will need to attend an actual PG showcase.

GOOD LUCK!

I didn't think they could do evals on a ton of kids at the tournaments, but wasn't sure. These tournaments should be pretty competitive though. We're looking forward to them. Thank ya'll for the input!

The tournements are just that tournements. PG will report on the tourneys and the players that stand out above the rest. By the way they do a great job with the tournements. In order to get a personal evaluation by PG staff you need to attend a showcase event. I would strongly encourage you to do so. You will have a blast at the PG tourneys great teams and players from all around will be there. Its fun to watch all the games and players thats for sure. Good luck this season.

Thanks Coach May!

We plan on attending at least one showcase this summer and one this winter. I just wasn't sure if they did individual stuff at the tournaments. I was thinking there's no way because of the number of players, but thought I'd check because I wasn't 100% sure. You've answered that for me. Thank you again.
