Weather Forecast:

Friday, May 6 – Mostly sunny, breezy and nice 83° Lo 65°

Saturday, May 7 – Sunshine, breezy and warm 86° Lo 71°

Sunday, May 8 – Clouds breaking and very warm 86° Lo 72°

Softball World features a good atmosphere and 4 diamonds in a wheel pattern, each with 300 foot fences down the lines and 310 to center field.

The tournament favorites are GTL and Resmondo who will look to use there top seedings to cruise to the winner's bracket championship game where they will renew their rivalry and battle for the number one ranking in the nation.  GTL currently has a 3 game to 1 lead on Resmondo in the match up.

In the top half of the bracket look for a 3rd round showdown between FBI and Golds Gym.  I'll take Gold's if they don't get tripped up before then, this would be a great match.  The winner will lose to GTL.

In the bottom half of the bracket look for Resmondo to beat Zamora's in the final 4 and Team 454 to beat the Evicted/Bowtech winner and then lose to Resmondo.

My final 4:
1) Resmondo – I think its Resmondo's weekend 2 out of 3.  Resmondo is playing well and GTL is due for a stumble.
2) GTL – Won't break a sweat until the championship.
3) Golds Gym although they have the toughest road.
4) Team 454

A team like Evicted, Bowtech, and I'm sure some other lesser known 'C' teams probably have a shot at that 4th place in a relatively light field of teams.

I won't be in Euless this weekend but I will for sure make the next 5 tournaments and possibly 6 if I get a flight for the Dudley.

Oh, and FBI may not win a game… 🙂

In 2010 it was Dan Smith who beat Resmondo in the winner's bracket championship and run ruled them in the finals
