Below are brackets for this weekend’s 2024 Memorial Day Classic. We have 27 teams this weekend. Really happy to see teams from all over coming to play. It will be a Friday and Saturday event. We really wanted to keep Sunday free so families can enjoy the Memorial Day weekend. The address to the fields is 4300 Hewes Av, Gulfport, MS. For newbies, it’s by the Air National Guard base..
This will be the first All-Star tournament of the year as last week was rained out. It will be played by All-Star rules. So be aware… here’s some important points:
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
– No run limit per inning
Entry fees can be paid by cash or check. The concession only accepts cash. Entry fees for teams are TB/CP $175 and FP $200. Proceeds from this weekend’s tournament will go to support the Gulfport Youth Sports Association.
Please be sure to have your players hydrate a day before they play. It’s not supposed to be ridiculously hot, but they still might be prepared for it. Also watch grandparents as they might not be able to handle the heat either. Looking forward to great couple of days of softball. I’ll see you at the ballpark.
Thanks for Playing USA Softball!
