1. What is the Team Gate Fee? 

At Bentonville Parks and Recreation our parks are open and welcoming to the public. Therefore, it's nearly impossibl to run gate at our tournaments. Therefore, rather than chargind each participant that walks in the gate, we charge each team a "per team gate fee". It allows us to keep the park open and all patrons to come and go as they please. Each team pays a flat rate that covers all of their fans and families. This fee is required of all teams and is due with the registration. 

2. Can I pay at the park? 

It is possible to pay at the park, however, there is a $10 park payment fee. Therefore, it is $10 more to pay at the park than it is to pay online. It is also quicker and easier to get your refund if you had paid online. If you need assistance paying online, please request such from the tournament director. Danny Bartlett has access to powerpoints and step by step instructions for training coaches on how to do so. Once you learn how to do this, it is so much easier. 

3. How can I get a rafund? 

Simply email your tournament director to process your refund. Danny Bartlett will assist you in getting that processed. 

4. Where are the Memorial Park softball fields?

Often times Google can misdirect folks to our park. Our park is located at 2000 NE Memorial Park Square, Bentonville, AR 72712.

5. How are you fields numbered? 

If you look in the files section of this event description page, you'll find a field layout photo that outlines how our fields are numbered. Essentially they are laid out like a clock, starting on the west side of the concession stand (just north of the batting cages). Please check our files page for this information. 

6. NIT?

Most of our events are an NIT status tournament. This awards teams double points for competin in these tournaments. We want to reward teams for playing in Bentonville however we can. Wondering if our tournament is NIT, the answer is in the name. If our tournament is an NIT event, it will be named as such: Kellogg's Classic NIT. However, if the event doesn't have NIT in the name, it is simply a regional qualifier.
