Coaches:
With 7 teams and three of them 14u.. this is the best schedule I can come up with to get the teams the needed competition . When scheduling this I am trying to give the opportunity of the 16u coaches using a number 3 pitcher against the 14u teams to WORK on their pitchers against the lower age group girls.
I spoke with Coach McQueen for over a hour this morning and he assures me his pitchers are 14 and 15 years old and he doesn't have 1/2 of his normal team and not one of his other pitchers are going to be there due to commitments besides his daughter who is a pitcher.
Common sense rules the day, coaches and I know that each and everyone of you knows what is right on a ballfield when it comes to these girls.
I worked and worked and this is the best and SAFEST way to run this friendly in my opinion. You will notice that the Static 14u and the Riptides 14u will play each other twice. I have scheduled them an (equal ) game the last game of the day to go home on and hopefully a good note from their experience at this event.
The schedule does not show the fields yet as we have 2 fields at 220 and one open. Extra field ( with pitcher's mound ) available for warm-up for teams.. especially after a bye for the team. Coaches are to report to Jim Hamrick at the Concession stand. Pay him your fee of $175.00 . Your game by game and field by field assignments will be in your packet he gives you... so you don't have to go to the board to find out. Please play within the schedule time if possible.
Tournament Rules:
1. NO reporting of scores
2. NO run rule
3. NO new inning after 1:20. NO new batter after 1:25... ( game time set for friendly at 1:30 )
4. There are NO tournament rules . Bat what you want and play any 9 in the field. Some one is hurt.. squeeze the line-up. NO out is to be taken. Last out can run for catcher or pitcher.
5. ALL coolers are welcome. Full concession stand is there and open.
6. PARENTS: Bring lawn chairs is best advice. Remember, there is only one (1) umpire. If he is lazy, please do two things A) Please feel free to climb all over him for being so....
..... and B) remember that close play at second on a steal is a hard call to make.
7. Some local rec teams (younger) have been contacted to come over and watch the event and see where they need to work hard to go play travel ball. Teams and parents: Please make their experience a good one. Rec girls are the " future " travel girls down the road if.. at a young age... they get the fever such as all of us.:yahoo: Thanks, In advance for your help in this matter.
