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.*
