I think this weekend in Houston is proof that Conference teams do not think bigger is always better. With 50 teams there it looks like maybe only 6 or 7 Conference teams.
I truly believe this is starting to be a problem with to many not conference teams in each event and teams being at the park until 2am.
Go ahead blast away people.

New issues arise in the Conference almost every weekend and solutions are needed and need to be discussed.

Houston is a hotbed of USSSA softball. Last year they had 64 teams, this year 50 so its actually less.

But I do realize conference teams don't want to play 10 games in the Houston heat. Maybe the solution is to have the non-conference teams play each other for the first two rounds and bring in the conference teams in the third round on Saturday?

Come to Ct no long waits, nice complex, and cooler weather. With no top teams coming this year I guess matt stairs will have to provide the homerun balls for the fans

Is flying to NY that much more expensive than flying to Seattle? It's an hour and a half drive from any of the NY airports. No need to fly into Hartford.

Cars can be found and hotels are cheap in the surrounding area.
