Did a search for RBI Baseball tournament on Google and found this link: RBI Baseball Tournament (http://www.rbibaseballcotut.com/index.html)
Apparently there's been 4 so far, all held in Illinois. They seem to be getting bigger every year. The next tournament isn't for another year and a half though. June 28th-29th of 2008. Just thought I'd pass it along if anybody was interested. I live in Iowa so Des Planes, IL is very very close to me. I may end up doing this. It'll be a good excuse to road trip if anything.
Players, Dates, Fees, & Prizes
This will be a 16 man, double elimination series tournament that will occur over a two day period from Saturday June 28th to Sunday June 29th, 2008. The entry fee will be $100.00.

Why the search link? I didn't see another post that mentioned this particular tournament. If it's mentioned somewhere where I didn't see it okay fine, but just don't try to be all cool and only post a "link" with no other explanation, what the hell? That's just being an ass IMO.
Why did you change your post. Are you afraid of the big, bad, Wulf?
No. I figure why bother, either way the result would be the same so who cares really?
Honestly, this (http://forums.dee-nee.com/index.php?topic=13770.0) is one of the few very big COTUT threads I found... there wasn't as much discussion as there was about the Ohio tournament last year (one of the regulars in the COTUT started his own tournament (http://ohio.rbicentral.com/) last year that I believe he plans to have every COTUT off-year).
i think all we're saying, sarc, is that you should maybe stick around and read the boards a little more before posting stuff. go through some of the old threads here and do a search on this site for things of interest to you. it should be more accurate and helpful than an internet search. there's a lot of good info here and great threads to get to know before you rehash things that have been talked about for years.
which part of iowa you from Sarc?
next question...hawkeyes or cyclones? ;D
they didnt break down what you get for having to drop out of the cotut. the prize: a bashed up car and deer shit on the door and fender.
$100 bucks says he's from Iowa City.
Yeah I'm from Iowa City. Nobody around here roots for the cyclones [Iowa State]. Hey what can I say, I didn't look extremely hard for some of the topics I created, but when you search the first 3 pages or so and don't see the topic what am I supposed to think? I'm not usually a thread starter so I pretty much shot my wad with the 4 or 5 I made already.

Sarc....check this. The next OH tourney will be in June of 2007: http://ohio.rbicentral.com/
Count me and Octo in.
Can you boobs get over the 2 SP rule, though? Aces, if so!
Every year these damn tournaments are on my birthday which should make it easier for me to make it, but it doesn't
What day is your bday...I haven't officially set a date yet...just likely June 2007 since that seemed to work out for the most part in the other tourneys...
I'm just being pissy, looks like my B-Day doesn't actually fall on a weekend next year, I don't want any dates set for me because even under the most ideal circumstances I'd probably be 60% to make it at best.

Even when you're 100% sure, it doesn't mean you'll really go anyway. Ask Dark Side if 60% is enough to make a verbal/typed lock on it
