Below are brackets for this weekend’s 2024 Woolmarket All-Star Invitational Tournament. The gate fees for parents is $10 for adults, ages 6-11 is $7, and kids 6 and under are free. The address to the fields is Woolmarket Sports Complex, 16520 Switzer Park Rd. Biloxi, MS 39532. Be sure to put “Switzer Park Road” in your GPS… Switzer Road is not close to Switzer Park Road.
This represents the first all tournament of the season. We have 23 teams this weekend. Given it’s the first all star weekend and the looming weather forecast, that’s a pretty good number of teams. I’m sure the numbers will also grow from here.
First off, the forecast. So everyone’s watching the weather. Short answer is it all depends on when and how much rain we get. We will email out any changes to the schedule… We’ll also get up early Saturday morning. We’ll post to the Facebook page…. https://www.facebook.com/USASoftballSouthMS/. So be watching. I condensed the schedule as much as possible.. We can deal with a short rain delay. As long as it’s not a total washout, we hope to get it in..
Next… this is All-Stars. Better players and we start to take the reins off and let the kids play… Updated rules are attached here. These have been updated to fix clerical errors. Here’s a summary of what to expect:
TB
– Coach can only adjust the tee for the batter. No positioning the player in the box.
– Any player can make any play anywhere on the field
– Overtime will be modified ITB will start with a runner on second and 2 outs
CP
– Coach must start with a foot touching rubber when pitching
– Any player can make any play
– No overthrow at first rule
10u
– Straight softball rules no coach coming in to pitch (no three walks)
– 5 runs per inning
12u/16u
– Straight softball rules
Finally, we never had to address this. The use of tobacco or other substances is not allowed at the facility. No smoking, vaping or dipping. Either real or substitutes. This isn’t new… it’s been in the rules since before me; better known as forever.
Please bring our patience and come prepared for anything. A few dry rags, umbrella or poncho can really make the day go better.
Thanks for Playing USA Softball!
