HOTELS
Our Hotel Policies:
Simply stated, if your team is traveling 75 miles or more to the event’s destination city, your team MUST stay at one of the approved tournament partner hotels. Teams are required to designate a representative to block off rooms for their team through OUR hotel portal and/or staff. We do not have a full “stay to play” policy but we do require 75% of your families/coaches to stay with one of our partner hotels through our website.
Couple of important notes:
We do have a waiver policy, if teams do NOT want to book through us but want to participate in our events. Those teams will pay a waiver of $750.00 per team, in addition to their registration fee. The waiver fee will be added to your invoice once requested.
Prior to schedule release, if teams are not in compliance according to our hotel policies, they can stay in the event if the waiver is paid in full or they will not be scheduled for the event.

Good day! We are going to start the day as scheduled without any changes due to weather concerns. Higher seeds have the choice of home or away at the plate meeting with your site supervisor. Games will operate under same time limits, if the game is tied at the conclusion of the time limit, the next inning, we start with our extra inning rule to break the tie. Please see tournament rules for your age group.
In the situation that lightning is present within 8 miles, EVERYONE in the venue must return to their vehicles for safety for 30 minutes. Each strike within 8 miles, extends that timeframe. We will continue to communicate through email and site supervisors will help manage this as well. We hope for weather like yesterday but we are prepared if weather happens today.
