Thank you!! I will pass all of this on! I appreciate everything!
Primary goals are #1) keep everyone safe from heat/injury and #2) have fun. At a minimum, try to get some decent scheduling with some games in the evening.
This made me laugh, thank you for that 
This information may very well be needed as well!
My son's team had 12 position guys (2 or 3 also pitched) and at least 7 or 8 PO's when we went. We played 8 games and really didn't have enough pitching for that amount...we'd have been in deep trouble if we went any deeper in the tourney. You might even start a new post on here asking if anyone wants to help out....at lot of GA/FL posters here who may have a son who would like to throw a few innings at that event
I have seen a few teams send emails out to players who are able to handle that level of competition and recruit nationally to fill their needs. There are plenty of pitchers who would love to get that exposure . Pitching in that event is quite an experience. Same for catchers. Get out and find more pitchers and catchers who can help your team compete...otherwise it wont be much fun and you will not have enough pitching even if you do manage to win your pool and move on to playoffs.
