They had teams scheduled at 10PM and to top it off they were running behind and they didn't start play till 10:45PM. While kids were playing they were being rushed because lights would turn of soon. There half time break was 1 minute, I know that Texas Toros '00 did not play with a full roster since some parents did not take there kids after first game. They were very upset at the situation. The reason I was told they decided on that tournament was because they were given a discount since last years tourney was rained out. There was a girls team being played in the dark literally, the lights were not on at all. Games were double booked on fields, not one time but various of times. Who ever put this tournament together should suffer consequences for a vary bad managed event.

Consequences? Don't you think all the teams involved will play somewhere else next year?

Galagtic.... I agree with you regarding the poorly executed tournament. We played you at that 10:40pm game. But as poorly run as this tournament was run, I hope you are not blaming your performance on the tournament.
The other four teams endured ALL the complications with you and showed up to play. I felt bad for the last team you should have played since your team decided to no show. They are a nice group of people who wanted to play soccer, not win by forfeit.

10 year old boys playing at 10:40 is ridiculous as well girls teams playing in the dark. So many double bookings...all 00 teams should be aware not to place your teams in this tournament in future years. It was the worst executed tournament we have ever participated in....ever!
