You are now logged in, prior to this page, so information has already been received, streamlining your checkout process. it is important that you use the SAME PLAYER or SAME TEAM under the PROPER ACCOUNT to maintain consistency for player profiles or team rosters and profiles. Failure to adhere to this, will create duplicates.
Hotels are NOW open for all events in 2025! If you need any immediate assistance, please email hotels@firecrackersports.com for more support.
ALL TRAVELING TEAM MANAGERS/CLUB ADMINISTRATORS MUST REVIEW OUR HOTEL POLICY & RULES PRESENTED BELOW. FAILURE TO KNOW OUR POLICY COULD SUBJECT YOUR TEAM TO NON-ACCEPTANCE OR REMOVAL FROM THE TOURNAMENT
To insure the quality of service provided during a Firecracker Sports event this organization has put in a Hotel Obligation Policy.
WHAT IS A “HOTEL OBLIGATION” TOURNAMENT?
Simply stated, if your team requires hotel accommodations (team traveling 75 miles or more to the event’s destination city) your team MUST stay at one of the approved participating tournament partner hotels. Teams are required to designate a representative to block off rooms for the entire team through our hotel portal or staff. These participating hotels are reviewable by clicking on the “hotel” links on the tournament event page or on the main page of Firecracker Sports. We do not have a full "stay to play" policy but we do require 75% of your team/coaches to stay with one of our partner hotels through our website. Reservations should be made ASAP as the hotels fill up quick.
We do have a waiver policy, if teams do NOT want to book through us, but want to participate in our events. Please see below.
WHY DOES THIS TOURNAMENT HAVE A “HOTEL OBLIGATION?”
We work very hard to keep our costs down and also balance the economic impact a tournament like ours can have towards the communities and programs we serve. The approved hotels on this website assist with both concerns and the following are the benefits to our programs:
WHY ARE THERE PENALTIES FOR NOT ABIDING BY OUR HOTEL “HOTEL OBLIGATION” POLICY?
In order to best serve our out-of-town teams we need this to be a win-win for our guest teams and our hotel partners…If the rules are not followed then we jeopardize our relationships with these hotels and this could potentially add more costs to the teams.
WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR NOT FOLLOWING OUR POLICY?
Typically hotels will receive your reservation information 1 month prior to an event starting. This could be earlier or later depending on the hotel and their policies. Please do NOT contact the hotel prior to 1 month of your event.
When is my credit card processed?Credit cards are not charged at the time of booking. Please review the hotel cancellation policy prior to submitting your reservation for details on when or if a deposit will be applied closer to check-in.
Where can I see my reservation?Great question! You can see your reservation by confirmation email or by logging into your account on our website. Once you are in “My Account” there will be a tab call “My Hotels” and you can see all past/current hotel reservations that you have secured.
Can I contact the hotel directly to make a reservation?No. Hotels are not allowed to accept direct bookings and they will refer you back to our website. This policy is to make sure that proper room counts are maintained based on contracts, teams and reservations. We want to guarantee all of our customers the best customer service and the lowest rates possible while attending our events so this helps maintain that.
What if we don’t book our hotel through Firecracker Sports?Great question! Any team traveling more than 75 miles that will require overnight accommodations and does not book through Firecracker Sports website, will not be accepted into the tournament and placed onto the waiting list. Any team that books directly or takes a block then doesn’t pickup the rooms, will be moved to the waiting list. The team’s money will be credited for a future event and the team will NOT be scheduled.
Does Firecracker Sports have a “stay to play” policy?We have a hotel obligation policy for all teams traveling more than 75 miles to our events. This is a “softer” policy than “stay to play,” which allows teams to book with their preferred hotel brand and/or book with their points, etc. This must be completed through our hotel booking system not directly with the hotel.
Who do I contact if I have a question about hotels or reservations?You can contact hotels@firecrackersports.com for any hotel questions before the event. Once you are 2 weeks away from the event, you can contact the hotel directly as they will have the rooming lists, confirmations, and hotel information for your stay.
By downloading or using the app, these terms will automatically apply to you – you should make sure therefore that you read them carefully before using the app. You’re not allowed to copy, or modify the app, any part of the app, or our trademarks in any way. You’re not allowed to attempt to extract the source code of the app, and you also shouldn’t try to translate the app into other languages, or make derivative versions. The app itself, and all the trade marks, copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights related to it, still belong to Firecracker Baseball.
Firecracker Baseball is committed to ensuring that the app is as useful and efficient as possible. For that reason, we reserve the right to make changes to the app or to charge for its services, at any time and for any reason. We will never charge you for the app or its services without making it very clear to you exactly what you’re paying for.
The Firecracker Baseball app stores and processes personal data that you have provided to us, in order to provide our Service. It’s your responsibility to keep your phone and access to the app secure. We therefore recommend that you do not jailbreak or root your phone, which is the process of removing software restrictions and limitations imposed by the official operating system of your device. It could make your phone vulnerable to malware/viruses/malicious programs, compromise your phone’s security features and it could mean that the Firecracker Baseball app won’t work properly or at all.
You should be aware that there are certain things that Firecracker Baseball will not take responsibility for. Certain functions of the app will require the app to have an active internet connection. The connection can be Wi-Fi, or provided by your mobile network provider, but Firecracker Baseball cannot take responsibility for the app not working at full functionality if you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, and you don’t have any of your data allowance left.
If you’re using the app outside of an area with Wi-Fi, you should remember that your terms of the agreement with your mobile network provider will still apply. As a result, you may be charged by your mobile provider for the cost of data for the duration of the connection while accessing the app, or other third party charges. In using the app, you’re accepting responsibility for any such charges, including roaming data charges if you use the app outside of your home territory (i.e. region or country) without turning off data roaming. If you are not the bill payer for the device on which you’re using the app, please be aware that we assume that you have received permission from the bill payer for using the app.
Along the same lines, Firecracker Baseball cannot always take responsibility for the way you use the app i.e. You need to make sure that your device stays charged – if it runs out of battery and you can’t turn it on to avail the Service, Firecracker Baseball cannot accept responsibility
With respect to Firecracker Baseball’s responsibility for your use of the app, when you’re using the app, it’s important to bear in mind that although we endeavour to ensure that it is updated and correct at all times, we do rely on third parties to provide information to us so that we can make it available to you. Firecracker Baseball accepts no liability for any loss, direct or indirect, you experience as a result of relying wholly on this functionality of the app.
At some point, we may wish to update the app. The app is currently available on iOS – the requirement for this system (and for any additional systems we decide to extend the availability of the app to) may change, and you’ll need to download the updates if you want to keep using the app. Firecracker Baseball does not promise that it will always update the app so that it is relevant to you and/or works with the iOS version that you have installed on your device. However, you promise to always accept updates to the application when offered to you, We may also wish to stop providing the app, and may terminate use of it at any time without giving notice of termination to you. Unless we tell you otherwise, upon any termination, (a) the rights and licenses granted to you in these terms will end; (b) you must stop using the app, and (if needed) delete it from your device.

Firecracker Baseball may update our Terms and Conditions from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms and Conditions on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.

The purpose of this privacy policy is to explain the types of information Firecracker Baseball obtains about visitors to our Site and users of our Product and Services, how the information is obtained, how it is used, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to review and correct, the information. By using the Site, the Service and/or the Product, you are accepting and consenting to the use of your information as described in this policy.
1. What Information We Collect
The information we collect on our Site and through the use of our Product or Services generally falls into the following two categories: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. If we do combine Non-Personally Identifiable Information with Personally Identifiable Information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. The Personally Identifiable Information we collect may include: your name, date of birth, e-mail address, login name, passwords, etc. We request Personally Identifiable Information when you register on the Site or through the Product.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-Personally Identifiable Information refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual.

We also collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information in the form of statistics and information regarding the Product user’s game statistics and metrics obtained from third party devices (for example, bat speed, hand speed, swing time, etc.), which may be combined with personal information you submit through the Product and/or Services so that you can fully enjoy the benefits of Motus’s tracking, monitoring, and diagnostic tools. We may also request the following information as part of your profile so that you can fully enjoy the features and functions of our Services: your weight, gender, handedness (right or left), and your team name.
Your use of the Product may also include collection of information from your mobile device. For example, the Firecracker Baseball mobile application may request your permission to collect location data and/or may request access to multimedia (photos or videos) stored on your mobile device. Location data is not required for participation in activities through the Product, and you have the option of declining collection of geolocation data. If you do not wish for your location data to be shared with Firecracker Baseball, please respond accordingly when prompted on your mobile device, or visit the your mobile device settings. Multimedia will only be collected from your device if you affirmative select it to upload to the application (i.e. you choose an image or video to store within the Product). Multimedia will not be shared with other Firecracker Baseball users.
