Coaches/Parents/Fans -
Our tournament is a 6-game guarantee (weather permitting); pool play has a 90-minute
time limit - finish the inning - games can end in a tie.
ALL bracket games are played in their entirety -
NO TIME LIMIT. We do
our best to provide a "real game" opportunity for the teams and fans who
attend - 7 inning games!
The gate fee for this tournament will be as follows:
$6.00 per day & $15.00 for a weekend pass;
Seniors are discounted; Children under 14 are free
Please be prepared for this and treat our volunteer helpers with
respect when entering the ballpark. We will be using wristbands that
are expected to be worn ON THE WRIST. Please display this when entering
the park so the traffic flow in and out throughout the day goes smoothly.
In the past, we've had numerous people tell us they "lost their wristband" or
"took it off to take a shower and forgot it", etc.... PLEASE allow our workers to place
it on your wrist and KEEP it on for the weekend (or day) so we don't have any issues
at the gate.
If you DON'T have a wristband, you WILL have to purchase another pass for
that day. Our volunteers wil be instructed to place the band on each person's wrist.
PLEASE.... utilize our system and WEAR THE WRISTBAND ON YOUR WRIST.
If you do this - you won't lose/misplace it and have to buy another one.
Coaches - 1) Please explain this to your parents so they are not surprised/upset
by our Gate Fee and Wrist Band Policy;
2)
ALL coaches must pay to enter the park; when each team
registers upon arrival -
you will be reimbursed $45 to cover the cost of 3 coaches; Please be prepared
for this, as this is a new policy for out tournament;
ALL coaches of each team will be expected wear/show
their wristband each time they enter the ballpark.
We are trying to help out our volunteers (and the fans) by making entering the park a smooth
and quick experience.
SEEDING:
Each team plays 5 pool games;
Seeding will be done after each team has played their first 4 pool games;
This is being done for the following reasons -
1) We will be able to seed EACH team into the bracket BEFORE they are done
with their 5th pool game, meaning that each team will know when they play BEFORE
leaving the park on Saturday after their 5th game.
2) NO scrambling to seed teams after the 6:30 games and having teams recieve
phone calls from the tournament staff late at night informing them as to when they
play (Saturday night at 8:30; Sunday at 8:00 AM, or whatever....) We believe that
teams would love to know when they have to come back to the park BEFORE they release
their players/families after their last game on Saturday.
This is a new procedure for us after taking into consideration suggestions received last year.
We believe it makes sense, and hopefully you see the benefits as well.
Single elimination will start Saturday evening at 8:30 P.M.
The match-ups will be as follows:
Sat - 8:30 PM
Field 1 - C5 vs D6
Field 2 - A6 vs B5
Field 3 - A5 vs B6
Field 4 - C6 vs D5
