Dear Coaches,

It is important before you come to the tournament that you go online at www.usssa.com and register your team. You must also place your team roster online.  Your team cannot participate or points awarded to your team if your roster is not online. To register online for one of our tournaments, click here.  Your team will not be scheduled any games until we have received the entry fee. We must receive your entry fee no later than 5:00 p.m. CST on the Tuesday preceding the tournament. Also, you will need to have a copy of each player's birth certificate in case of a challenge. Once you enter the tournament complex, please find a director to announce your arrival and go over any last minute details or changes.

Each team will be guaranteed three games each, (softball 4 games each). Each team will also need to furnish their own baseballs or softballs of new or very good condition for each game. Individual awards will be given to the 1st and 2nd place teams of each age and division represented.

Scorekeepers:
Home team will keep the official score book and visiting team will be responsible to have an adult running the scoreboard. It is our recommendation that the visiting team keep its own book, and cross reference with the official home book after each inning. If there are any discrepancies, the official book will hold jurisdiction. Each team will be responsible for turning in a scoresheet to a tournament director at the conclusion of each game they play. Both home and visiting managers are to agree and sign the scorecard. If only one manager signs the scorecard, the scorecard will become legal and binding.

Ice chests are not allowed in the park unless they are coolers filled with water or Gatorade for the team. No bottled water or Gatorade please. Concessions and restrooms are available. Due to alcohol problems, coolers may be checked.
