We start with skills competition and opening ceremonies on Tuesday June 16th. Players can sign up individually for any of the skills comps they want, and compete for a NEW Easton bat, or Rawlings glove. These links for signup will be added to the tournament event page prior to the event.
we end skills competition around 3pm, so players and families can get to the Blue Wahoos stadium where the opening ceremonies, and parade of teams will take place prior to the start of the professional baseball game between the Wahoos, and the Barons. Once the parade finishes, teams are escorted into the USSSA sections of seating to meet up with their friends and family, for the start of the game.
its a very cool experience for players to walk onto the field with thousands of fans cheering them on , We sell the stadium out every year!!

Wednesday morning starts pool play at 8am. Teams will play 2 days of pool play before moving into true double elimination bracket play on Friday.
Brackets are split based on pool play results, allowing teams of all classifications to land in the appropriate bracket to compete for a World Series title. As an example a 24 team division will be split into 3 sets of 8 team brackets. typically each 8 team bracket will all have a similar pool play record, which creates like skilled bracket play for a chance to win a World Series title.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each bracket, receive World Series rings, and custom World Series banner. Additionally each team receives 3 MVP coins that we award to the 3 players that are the MVP for that team during the event, regardless of finish.
