February 11, 201511 yr Author Unfortunate decisions made by adults ruin this moment for the kids. I hate it for them. Once again a feel good story for our country is ruined by unscrupulous adults.
February 11, 201511 yr And in effect screws the team from New Albany, IN out of a berth according to the radio station I listened to this morning on the way in.
February 11, 201511 yr Author And in effect screws the team from New Albany, IN out of a berth according to the radio station I listened to this morning on the way in. That's true as well. Their entire journey to the LLWS is tainted and has a domino effect on kids and teams affected.

February 11, 201511 yr Any adult who was involved and knew it was wrong, should be gone from LL for life. I am a very forgiving person, but if I had a business and one of these adults who were knowingly involved came for a job, I wouldn't hire them. Not only did they cheat, they cheated children, both on this team and others. And I am the kind of person who doesn't pay too much attention to "a small thing against the rules".

February 11, 201511 yr There is a bigger issue here. All of the paperwork and checks and balances take place by the LLWS group. One of there own was in on this and signed off that all the kids were in the right district. Makes you wonder about the whole LLWS thing.
February 11, 201511 yr So the team from Las Vegas, who according to several were a better team, are cheated out of going to the title game. I'm with sportsguy...life time ban for all adults involved.
