This tournament will use a 3 game format and is only open to USSSA ‘C’ (or Rec) teams. USSSA MD/DE Class C tournaments are intended for recreational caliber teams and all entries into these events are continually reviewed by a committee to determine the team's eligibility.

Teams that are not sure that they fit the definition of being recreational caliber should contact either Glen Warholic or the USSSA State Office to clarify and determine their eligibility.

Note that just because a team sanctions as a Class C team (ISTS system lets any team sanction at any level) that act alone does not necessarily make a team eligible for a Class C event. USSSA reserves the right to reclassify teams as is deemed consistent with a team's level of play.

The 16U and 18U divisions will be combined.

Western Regional and Savage Parks in Howard County will be used. Age brackets will be assigned to parks based on number of entries.

Before teams can enter online they must be registered with USSSA for the 2012 season which they can do after July 1 2011.

For information on how age brackets are handled in the fall refer to the ‘Registration Year’ link on www.usssa1.com.

Teams may either pay their entry fee online when they enter or make check payable to USSSA East and mail to USSSA East 8343 Seamore Street Pasadena MD 21122. If mailing a check please print off the email that you’ll receive when you enter online and include it with the check.
