10 under $500.00 * runner-ups minimum payout

We can't give the winning teams or runners-ups in the 14 under or 12 under division a TE-Fund Check due to OHSAA rules.

14 under $2,000.00 Winner maximum payout
14 under $500.00 * runner-ups minimum payout
12 under $2,000.00 Winner maximum payout
12 under $500.00 * runner-ups minimum payout

* * How we can use the "TE- FUNDS" for 14 under and 12 under winners and runner-ups* *

1.) Pay your team entry fee's for tournament(s) of you choice or reimburse your team for a entry fee that already paid.

Note * This can't be for a tournament you already played in.

2.) Buy uniforms for your team
3.) Pay for your team insurance or give your team a reimbursement
4.) Reimbursement on Hotel rooms for the Main Event or any other tournament.
5.) Buy equipment for your team
6.) Pay rental fee's for your team
7.) Give your team fuel card
8.) Pay for Camps or Clinic

We will need a receipt in order to administrate these"TE-FUNDS" for your team.


As part of the TE Funds payout agreement winners and runner-ups will carry OFC/TSZ Banner and display it during events they attend until 2017 Main Event.

"How does it work"

For ever team enter per age group $150 Dollars will be placed into a Travel Expense Tournament Fund. TE Funds will be paid out to the Winners and Runner-ups in each age group.
* We will increase the runner-ups TE payout based on teams enter per-age group plus gates. My Goals is to have a minimum of $1000.00 for the runner-ups.

If we fail to meet the minimum of 15 Teams in any age group, pay out structures will be on the followed. Teams x $150 = $$$$ with 75% going to the winners in the age group and 25% going to the runner-up.

Example 12 teams x $150 = $1800 in TE Funds $1350.00 going to winner and $450 going to runner-up.


The Goal of "Main Event #1" is to give back to the Girls Fastpitch Softball Community only! Allot of tournament have great causes that they support and that Fantastic. I just prefer to support Girls Fastpitch Softball that my causes. And the other Goal is promote the Ohio Fastpitch Connection @ thesoftballzone.com domain. I'm sure just hosting a event that paying out TE $$$$$$ will help promote this site just from people talking about this tournament.

Jeff Baker will have a Booth setup and will be Broadcasting 2 games a days on Diamond #1. Jeff will also being doing at least one Championship game as well.

A portion of the gates will be given to Stay In Softball

I really wanted to give out Team sponsorship's for this event but after talking it over with "ASA Ohio State Commissioner - Warren Jones" he said I couldn't do that! But I could host a event if I was paying out Travel Expense Funds/Money. So that what were doing. If you have any questions about playing in this event I suggest you do your own research before enter. Warren Jones said he would be happy to talk with to anyone that had any concerns about playing in this event. You can Contact Warren at 419.651.3335

Registration is only available by texting 740.704.5705 at this time, registration will close on January 01, 2016.

Team Roster Questions & Concerns for the $7500.00 in Travel Expense "Main Event" Tournament

I've receive a lot of text messages, phone calls and email with concerns or questions about teams' rosters for the "Main Event".

I understand your concerns and I agree, and I'm really glad that I've received a lot of great ideas and feedback.

The idea behind the "Main Event" is to give back to Girl Softball Teams and organizations, as well as to promote OFC - Ohio Fastpitch Connection @ TheSoftballZone.com domain.

With that said, I agree with your concern about the possibilities of someone stacking a team in order to win the travel expenses funds prizes.

I don't want any stacked teams playing in this event either. The concept behind the "Main Event" is that you bring the same team that would play on your original roster, and would continue playing your team's roster until the 2017 tryout season that begins around August of 2016. But at the same time, I understand that some teams could have players still playing high school ball or you could have lost a few players that have either left your program or have been injured. So, based on your ideas and feedback, we came up with the following rules for your team rosters.

Rules for "Main Event" Team Rosters

1.) Rosters must be ASA Championship Roster. That would be the same roster you would use if you were playing in any*
ASA National Championships or Qualifiers Event with ASA.

2.) All rosters must be mailed in by*February 5, 2016

3.) Rosters changes after you submitted your roster: All roster changes will be reviewed by the TD - Ricky Moorehead.
You will only be able to add 2 players and one substitute to your roster after*February 5, 2016.* All rosters will be locked in on*April 1, 2016,*except for your one substitute player, unless you have players missing due to High School Softball (14U only), injury, family emergency or players that have left your organization or quit playing softball.

4.) For any changes to your roster, you will have to remove a player from your roster for every player you add if your original submitted roster on*February 5, 2016*had 12 players or more. If you had less then 12 players on your original roster, you will not need to remove any players but you will not be able to carry more than 12 players on your roster.*

5.) Subs: Teams will be able to add one substitute player outside your Team or Organization, and only if your player is missing due to High School Softball, injury, family emergency or they left your organization or quit playing softball. Coaches will be able to add this substitute player at sign-in before your first game.*
