Rain Out Policy

If the tournament is rained out, refunds will be based on (Entry Fees minus Non-Recoverable Costs minus Games Played). Please allow two to four weeks for an inclement weather refund. A game started is considered a full game for refund purposes. There is no rain date available.

In the event that we are not able to complete all Pool Play games on Friday prior to Friday night start of Championship bracket play, we will proceed with a blind draw bracket - drawn by ASA Commissioner Clyde Brewer. Should, due to weather, Championship bracket play not have allowable time for completion we reserve the right to proceed with the elimination of the losers bracket and instating single elimination of the winners bracket until a champion is determined for each age division

The City of Dayton has replaced all the infield dirt this fall, the fields are expected to be in great shape.

If you plan on playing in the Dayton Metro, please get your payment in. Soon it will be time to put the schedule together. Don't get left out.

 

[DougL]

We will play at Kettering Fields, 12u 'may' play at Delco on Saturday. I will have the schedule PP - out this week. All Sunday games will be at Kettering.

Do you know if the schedules are out yet?

 

[DougL]

I had 1 team drop, 2 jump in, re-doing PP schedule this weekend. With HS ball being settled it creates a situation where we have a couple teams drop out late every year, I try to wait until the results from this weekend are in before publishing. All 14-18u teams will play their 2 PP games on Friday starting at 9am, Bracket begins Saturday morning.

 

[DougL]

Pool Play is live on the site. Bracket play will be live later this week. 12u DOES NOT PLAY on FRIDAY.

Does bracket play start on Saturday or Sunday for 12u?

 

[DougL]

12u Bracket begins a 2pm Sat

Doug,

Further bracket clarification requested. The website says the following:

"Again, at Noon on Saturday - we will draw the brackets for 14u,16u and 18u. All teams in the hat, first team drawn goes in slot #1, second #2 and so on."

But the brackets just posted show 16u bracket games beginning Friday at 6pm. Need to know ASAP if Friday bracket games are possible for camp purposes. Thanks!

 

[DougL]

Typo - Draw is FRIDAY at NOON. Typo was fixed.

 

[First2Third]

Typo - Draw is FRIDAY at NOON. Typo was fixed.

OK. What about 16u bracket play? Will it really start on Friday? I see the site is showing some BRACKET (not pool) games at 8am on Friday now. You said this above on May 11:

"All 14-18u teams will play their 2 PP games on Friday starting at 9am, Bracket begins Saturday morning."

Bottom line, when is the first possible 16u bracket game?

Also confused that the first post in this thread says blind draw only in the event of rain, but it sounds like it will be blind draw no matter what. But really just need to know which statement/schedule is true about possible bracket times for 16U?

Thanks!!

Because we had so many players still in school and teams were having issues w/ players not being avail until the afternoon on Friday, we turned it into a draw for bracket play at noon Friday. We are doing 1 round of Bracket play for the older ages at 6pm on Friday - this will allow players time to get to the field for their bracket game if scheduled / drawn. The first bracket games for any age are at 6pm. Refresh your web browser, there were two games that had 8am by mistake, those are fixed. I emailed and texted every coach early last week asking if any have a problem with drawing to seed bracket, none got back to me with exception, many emailed to tell me they might have to pull if not. As it is 2 still pulled and 1 had to FF their first pool game.

You better check game 18 in the 16u bracket. It says Saturday at 8am, but one of the participants of that game is the winner of a Saturday 8am game. And it's not just as easy as changing the game time to 10am, as you have K20 used at 10am Sat for game 27.
