Showcase of Champions May 16-18

[Unregistered]

Our team just got invited to this and I'm looking for opinions on this tournament. They don't charge a tournament fee but they charge a $159 per family tuition fee. If you have 18 players this amounts to $2862. Seems kind of steep to me. This is put on by Greg Ion in the Seattle area. Any feedback from teams who have actually attended this tournamnet would be appreciated.

Considering the best tourney in the country (Surf) is about $60 per player

My DD's team went twice; players and parents refused a third time. Specifically, way too expensive. They invite the best teams, but it doesn't mean they come. Refs think that a showcase is a place where rules are mere guidelines, not actually rules. Many, many useless injuries caused by this type of thinking. Presentations by even well known speakers were terrible. Vague without real facts, just sound good "information". Do your player and team a favor and please don't go.

Thanks for the info!
