Below is the Tournament Information Packet for this weekend’s USA Softball of Mississippi’s 10U A & B-South and 12U B-South Tournament. Please review the packet carefully. I have included a checklist to make sure you have everything you need to play this weekend.
You are entering Championship Play, so everything will be a little more formal this weekend. We play by the State Rules and the Official Rules of Softball. The local tournament rules do not apply. You will need a roster. Included in the packet is rules for fast pitch. I have included a roster that must be filled out and signed by the parents.
There will be a Coaches Meeting on Friday, 4:00 PM at the fields. It would be good to have at least one coach there. The first game time is 5:30 PM. Players need about 15 minutes to check-in before they play. Be sure to allow enough time for them to check-in before they warmup. They will not play without checking in.
12U will play two pool to double elimination. Pool play will count to be seeded into the bracket. The 10u bracket will be a little different because one of teams signed up for 10A. It will be one pool to Three Game Guarantee. There will be a 10A Champion, 10B Champion, 10B Second and 10B Third Place. We didn’t want to take away from the B’s by having an A play included in the bracket.
The tournament will be held at the Bayou View Softball Complex, 4300 Hewes Av, Gulfport, Mississippi, 39507. There is a map included in the packet. The weather forecast is improving, but you should be prepared for anything. Be sure your players hydrate to be able to handle the heat.
Good Luck to everyone. Most of all, we want the players to be safe and have a fun weekend.
Thanks for Playing USA Softball!
