The Biloxi Girls Softball League would like to invite everyone to come play in the Biloxi Girls Invitational this weekend. The tournament is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We’ll try to get it in on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is held as a contingency in case of rain or overflow of teams. Biloxi also has a special ordinance that does not permit a new inning to start after 11:00pm at night.
Gulfport had 43 teams last weekend. That was a record. So I’m expecting a big turnout this weekend. Everyone did a great job of registering early for the Gulfport tournament last weekend. We need to do that again this week.
This week, we are introducing two new divisions. We have a 10U All-Star and a 12U All-Star division. This is an attempt to encourage more all-star teams to come out and play. Recent trends have seen more independent (travel ball) teams come play. It’s been hard for all-star teams to compete. So we’re trying to give a place for those teams to come compete. All-Star teams need to come and support this effort.
Teams must be comprised of players from a single league to be eligible to compete in the All-Star division. Those teams may choose to play up in the Open Division if they wish. We must also have enough teams to make each division viable. The brackets may also be combined without notice if there are not enough teams to justify two separate divisions.
SO PLEASE REGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Registration will close Thursday at noon. Brackets will be worked Thursday night to post late-Thursday. Age groups are Tee Ball, Coach Pitch, 10U All-Star, 10U Open, 12U All-Star, 12U Open, 14U and High School (high school eligible).

All teams must have their registrations completed this weekend. Everyone has had long enough to get their information submitted. So let’s get it finalized this week.
