Tournament Basics
Ultimately, this is a showcase tournament so the purpose is to showcase the players. We want to provide a competitive environment so your players can excel.
Borrowing players or last minute guest players are allowed in order to play the games. You are ultimately responsible for making sure all guest players are covered by your team insurance. BIrth certificates are not required and your roster has been submitted (hopefully) for the profile but there will not be any roster checks; again this is a showcase event.
More information can be found in the Rules but the basics are as follows:
4 game guarantee
We will follow ASA rules except for the following to facilitate showcasing the players:
Free, unlimited defensive substitution
You can bat your entire line-up
Game time is 1:20 (80 minutes). We'll be trying to keep on schedule to make it easier for the college coaches.

Player Wristbands
These colorful wristbands should be worn by players to make it easier for college coaches to determine their age/grade and availability. They can be picked up from the site director when you check-in before your first game.
Committed is for players that have committed to play softball at a college/university already.
