    Lack of communication between the directors and the customers of fast pitch softball tournaments. They have been relying on out-dated communication tools (example, playing phone tag for days, versus using the internet website, to inform customers of "who's playing" and "what times are games", etc). It was riduclulous this past Spring, to deal with USSSA. In the past, they have provided good tournaments, fair umpiring, a quality product. To me, they have or had lost focus on the fact that they were offering a product and that there were customers involved. Instead, they came across as, they were doing us, the customer, a favor, by putting on tournaments.:twocents:

    You hit the nail on the head Gorilla. I have been noticing for quite a while that their website has customers begging for information on tourneys to no avail.:banginghe

    We do not play this organization's tourneys anymore, at least not at 16U or 18U but Wayne Pearson used to do a great job. I think he has been ill for several years now and has not had the energy to put into the tournaments. Hate to see this organization fade because it was especially good for younger ages. :twocents:
