3X BAT PTS SPONSORSHIP WEEKEND and drawing for all teams registering in July 08 and playing this weekend. AL USSSA is proud to announce that we will be doing two team bat sponsorships this fall. THE FIRST ONE - All teams that sanction their new teams Prior to Aug 1 08 and that are playing in an AL USSSA tournament Aug 15-17 will be entered in a drawing for a $1000 Bat Sponsorship. The winning team will be drawn from a hat during the Aug 15-17 tournament at Cullman. You do not have to play the tournament in Cullman but you do have to play an AL USSSA tournament that weekend. THE SECOND ONE - We will be selecting tournaments over 6 weekends in the state that are designated BAT SPONSORSHIP POINTS WEEKENDS. Teams will accumulate points per the USSSA pts system at these events. Teams must play in 5 of the 6 tournaments selected. The team (one winner per age group) with the most pts after the 6th tournament will get the $1000 bat sponsorship. The First Weekend will be Aug 15-17 and it will be worth 3x pts. So if you finish first you will get 225 pts toward the bat sponsorship. The remaining 5 weekends and their associated weightings will be announced soon. At these tournaments teams will also be given a discounted entry fee depending on how many they have participated in. This discount will be announced soon when the tournaments are listed. Games will be played at the Gadsden Sports Complex in Gadsden Al. For more information go to www.alabamausssa.org/baseball.html or email us at alabamausssa@yahoo.com.
