Thank you so much for all the teams that registered for the 2022 Gulf Coast Championships. We have a wonderful turnout of 48 teams for this weekend’s event. It’s the 4th highest turnout since I’ve been doing this. All my tournaments benefit the hosting organization including this one. This weekend helps Woolmarket Youth Baseball and Softball. We anticipate a long hot 3-day weekend. Please start hydrating your players starting this as soon as possible.. There is a heat advisory for this weekend and it’s going to be brutal.
Below are the brackets for this weekend’s event. The address to the fields is 16520 Switzer Park Road, Biloxi MS. Be sure to put “SWITZER PARK” into GPS or you won’t end up at the ball park. This weekend, Roger Smith will be your UIC. And Chris Mosley will be helping me as the Assistant Tournament Director… Congrats Chris on your promotion… lol…
I’ve been getting a lot of complaints about having to play a pool game. With a 100+ degree temperatures and only so much time, we will not play pool games. The format will be straight double elimination in all age groups. Seeding was done using the random number generator within Excel. It’s going to a long, hot three-day event. The plan is for Individual teams to only competing only on one or two days out of the three. Tee Ball and 16U are only Saturday. Coach Pitch is Friday and Saturday. And 10U and 12U will be Saturday and Sunday. I wish we could play enough Friday to not play Sunday.. but we have 23 games yet to play after Saturday night.
You will need a completed roster form (blanks form below). You don’t need all the parent signatures this weekend. But we do need all the players listed on the roster.
Please remember it’s all about getting to watch the kids play ball, umpires are human, and no scholarships will be given out this weekend. Let’s all just have fun!
Thank you for Playing USA Softball!
