Please have your roster 100% accurate before you start your first game. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ROSTER!! The team's manager is responsible for all aspects of the eligibility of the players on his team and that they meet the Bylaws and Rules set forth in the 2017 USSSA National Bylaws.
Pitching:
USSSA pitching limitations are in effect - please read the pitching rules stated in the USSSA National Bylaws. Managers, the last thing we want to do is to forfeit your team because you pitched a player too many innings.
Each team will receive pitching record cards at team check in. Please complete pitching records after each game, have the opposing manager or scorekeeper sign the record and turn in to the tournament director immediately after each game. This pitching record is the official record of player's innings and score of game so make sure the card is completed correctly. Please make the card readable and include the player's uniform number, team age and class, and team name.
Please do not make the tournament directors have to track you down to get your pitching cards. Teams will not be allowed to start a new game if they have not completed and turned in the previous game pitching record.
Championship Seeding:
Championship seeding is based on USSSA pool play / tie breaker criteria.

All players and coaches will be expected to behave in a sportsman like manner at all times. Any player, coach, or parent/fan whose conduct is unbecoming or abusive will at minimum be warned and may be removed from the playing field or stands at the discretion of the tournament officials or the umpires. Foul or abusive language will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Cursing or throwing equipment will be an automatic ejection. This includes a team forfeiting or being removed from the tournament if necessary.
If a coach is ejected from a game they must sit out the remainder of that game. Additional penalties may be accessed as deemed by Tournament Director. A player ejected must sit out the remainder of that game. Anyone ejected may be asked to leave the park at the discretion of the Umpire and or Tournament Director.
As the rules indicate the matter of disorderly conduct will be taken seriously. The Tournament your team will be participating in will include some of the finest baseball teams in the State.
