Pool Schedules:
We will TRY scheduled to play over 4 time slots (e.g. play, play, break, play) or 5 time slots (play, break, play, break, play). This is NOT guaranteed.
Team Count:
We expect to take the best 12 teams over the three divisions. If we are forced to not offer a specific division, the team counts on the remaining divisions will be increased to accommodate 12 teams total. If more than 4 teams in a division, you will not play all the other teams.
Concessions:
A basic concession with light refreshments will be available. Outside food is NOT permitted in the building as food types are highly regulated by the facility. We do expect to have coffee, drinks, and some light snacks.
Parking:
We are NOT charging for parking but YSU lots might charge for parking. Most Sunday's are FREE because the parking booths are not manned. This is out of our control and random.
Gate:
A gate fee of $3.00 will be charged for non-players to support students working event. Two coaches per team are granted free entry.
Spectators:
Spectators are welcome. There is ample room but they need to bring their own chairs. We will ask the facility to give us chairs for team dugouts. It tends to be warm in the WATTS Center but plan to be flexible. We also suggest NOT sitting too close to the netting.
Warm-Up:
There will be ample area within the facility to warm up. We ask for hitting & t-work to be done inside the batting cages on the south wall of the facility. Teams & coaches only in the warm up area.

Tournament/Play Info:
- 10u, 12u, & 14u Top teams will be chosen based on application
- Three (3) GG, round robin format. Weather not an issue. Get quality winter reps.
- Format will be 75 min, finish the inning but 85 min drop & revert if necessary per USA rules so we can play as many games as possible and keep the schedule on a 90 minute cycle. This is approximate as we will use the time (Eastern) to finish games. For example, the 8 am game finish the inning will start at 9:15 am and the drop/revert point is at 9:25 am. This ensures the facility runs on time. If you start a few minutes early, then you get a bit of extra play. Umpire must be ready also and they dictate start as well.
- Round-Robin format, assuming 4 teams per pool. Each team scheduled for 3 games, regardless of the number of teams in a pool/division.
- Bat roster and free defensive substitutions
- Unsanctioned but need to provide valid insurance (any provider)
- Games can end in a tie
- One umpire per game.
- Softballs provided.
- Team check-in upon arrival
- All teams must have insurance and bring birth certs in event of a challenge
- Latest USA rules apply
- Not a tournament format so division "winners" not determined. Just best possible winter reps and a reasonable game time. No trophies / rings.
