World Series in USSSA is a complete joke and a huge money racket. Any team can go as long as you pay the fee. I saw this year that there is now a Red champion, a White champion, a Blue champion, and the newest, a Green Champion. So you have 4 World Series champions in each age group. What a crock of s**t. And to make it even worse they do this for 4 separate World Series tournaments during July. So, in all, there are a total 16 World Series champions in each age group per year. ***!!
Don't get me wrong, the overall competition is way better than league. But the world series thing is a complete joke. The Dixie Youth format is the way it should be. You got to earn your way to the world series, not pay your way.
Oh, and whoever thinks that there is no "Daddy Ball" in Select ball is utterly blind and naive. Believe me, "Daddy Ball" is very much alive and well. It blows my mind when a
so called coach will sacrifice the overall good of the whole team for the sake of his son. I've seen some really good teams lose big games at the end all because the coach wants Jr. to be the hero.
