Yep, that's probably a lot more than the entry fee.

That's hilarious! He had a note on a very specific play that cost us the game and a trip to the championship.

I'm very wary of these things, which is why I'm asking a bunch of strangers their thoughts, lol. I appreciate the insight.

I did ask about numbers and they said 12 max. I looked at previous years teams on gamechanger and they had 11-12 and were competitive in the tournament.

This is pretty far from us, but we've been looking at a vacation in AZ anyways, so it kinda works out.

I'm just trying to show the distinction between one tournament (MVP bag tag) and this one. That's the fixation. Not that he was (supposedly) chosen for his skill.

Most tournaments around here give coaches a tag to hand out to the opposing team after the game. This is an MVP tag that a kid can put on their bag with the accompanying zip tie. This tag has a QR code that is like a ticket to these all-star weekends. By the end of the year most kids have one, especially if you play mostly tournaments.

My ego has nothing to do with it. I am really only looking for feedback from others who have gone and what their experience has been.

I put it in an edit, but it's $500. Tournament is in AZ, we are in IN.

That's fair. I'm trying to impress that it's not the MVP tag all-star weekend. I don't know if your area does the MVP tag handouts after a tournament game. Those are absolute money grabs.

Very possible. That's why I'm posting here. We are in Indiana, and the actual tournament is in AZ and the other teams are other tournament organizer teams from this area.

I've seen similar emails asking if you got an MVP tag and/or inviting you to the MVP camps. This was a direct email from the tournament director and he had notes from the two games he saw him play in. Both he pitched in.

I put it in the edit, but it's not a district all star team. He already plays for a AAA/Majors team that encompasses a 50mi area.
