First place is a no brainer... IMHO...Bandits Baseball
It is a battle for second place. Grip, ECB Tigers, ECB Braves 9's, and Sandy Plains Wildcats should be the primary ones in contention for the second spot. |

| Put them in order. Who will when the lower bracket? That may be a little harder to predict. They should split this tournament in two divisions. |

The teams have changed since yesterday but the schedules are now out and put into four pools:
Pool 1
Sandy Plains Wildcats
Oregon Park Sharks
Southern Dodgers
Georgia Stingrays
Poo1 2
Bandits
ECB Luck
Milton Mets
Team Wilson
Pool 3
ECB Tigers
N. Ga Lightning
N. Ga Cougars
ECB Bulldogs
Pool 4
W. Ga Bandits
Georgia Outlaws
ECB Braves (9)
Georgia Grip
Pool 4 definitely looks the toughest top-to-bottom. Did I hear that the Dodgers lost a pitcher to the ECB Scorpions? Does anyone know anything about the Georgia Stingrays or N. GA Lightning?

| yo Papa, just looked at the USTBA 12u in Dalton this week - looks like the 11u Jags are playing up and drew the chiefs on Saturday. Better watch out. |

| Are the Southern Dodgers the same team as the Yard Dogs? If so why do they use two different team names, and does anyone know any info on them? |

The stingrays are there to just have fun. The N.G. Lightning when they all show at the same time they can play with anyone out there.

| Mort - thanks for the info. I love to see the David and Goliath matchups sometimes. It really brings out the best in coaches and teams when they have made up their minds not to knuckle under. i enjoy watching underdogs fight tooth and nail. I have underdogitis sometimes. Should be a great weekend for ball in Georgia. Good luck to all. |

We have played the Tigers twice, splitting the games. They are very solid in all aspects. A solid Major team for sure. Haven't seen the Bulldogs yet.

I saw the Dodgers at the last TC tournament and at least one of their players was from the Yard Dogs Black team. It looks like they have picked up a few other quality players too. |

| Them Jags are men against boys usually. Playing up and winning will be tough for any team. |

| Papa know the Jags and they would hard for us to beat with all of our guys but we will be playing very short handed this week. This will be a real test and I hope our guys reach down deep and give all they have and if they do we will take our chances. The Jags are for real and it would not be the end of the world to lose to this team. |

USTBA seeds the Top 6 teams into an Ultimate Bracket, the next 5 in an American Bracket, and the last 5 in a National Bracket.
The teams bracket seeding will be determined the usual way using record, points against, points scored, etc. So, there really aren't "pools" per se. Theoretically you could have 3 teams from one pool and 1 from another in the Ultimate bracket.
Pools are seeded in the State and National USTBA Tournaments by USTBA points earned for that season. In this case, SP Wildcats are #1, Bandits #2, Tigers #3, etc. You can view the points rankings on the USTBA website. SP therefore plays seeds #8, #9, and #16. Bandits play #7, #10, and #15. And so on.
This is our first year playing USTBA and we really like the format. If you want to play in the top Bracket (Ultimate or American depending on the size of the tournament), then you have to win in pool play. But if you are a AA team playing in an Open tournament and don't win any pool games, you still have an chance to perform in bracket play because you're not playing against a top seed in the first round.
Finally, if this is your first USTBA tournament, you're likely to you and your kids are likely to notice a difference. It's a nice experience. |

| Bandits #1 seed after pool play but there is a lot of baseball yet to be played. Teams are looking strong and the improvement for some of these teams we saw today is obvious. Still anybody's tournament. We will see who shows up tommorrow. |

| papa - saw the jags today tie the chiefs. I love having underdogitis. Awesome play by the bandits. Looks like the Hurricane may have called the finals with the grip and bandits. I say 6 to 5 in 6, you pick the winner |

Bandits win 7-3 in a hard fought victory with great pitching from both pitchers. Knew going in it would be a pitchers duel and it was. If the Bandits had any advantage it was one of experience as they have been in game after game of this magnitude. Moser you would have been proud of your Gwinett boys as they did not go quietly into the night and would not give in until we had the last out and made an impressive run in the top of the 6th that put a real scare into us.
Bandits have now successfully defended one to the State Titles and will begin to quickly get ready for the second. It only gets harder and harder as this week will be filled with even more teams looking to knock us off the top of the mountain.
I can tell you that beating back this type of competition week in and week out is taking its toll on our little guys and it would be nice to take a week off to regroup but I don't think we will have that luxury.
I say hats off to a great Georgia Grip team and thanks to my Bandits for always playing with heart and hustle.
