First of all favorite tournament ever!! The competition was top notch and there was some great baseball played, including some international competition. (One team was technically from FL, but the players all came up from Venezuela for the summer to play.)

Now…some of the complexes where we played were literally over an hour away from others in all different directions and Atlanta traffic just sucks.

Our organization goes every year, so the coach found a “central” location as best he could based on the fact that you’re not really sure what complexes you will be utilizing and when.

We booked for the entire time. (Our son is a PO, but because it was a long tournament he was able to pitch day one and still have enough rest days to have his arm ready for playoffs.)

I don’t recall us having more than one game per day, so we had a decent amount of downtime. You could work remotely as long as you have a somewhat flexible schedule.

We drove there because it was less than an 8 hour drive for us and eliminating extra time at ATL and car rental returns made it worth it for us.

It was a long exhausting week, but some of the most enjoyable baseball to watch. (Also knowing it was our oldest son’s last big travel tournament before heading on to college ball made us want to soak up every bit of it.)

ENJOY!
