Tournament Details

Tournament Rules:

All games will be played with an 11″ pink softball with an arc limit of 6-16’. All players must wear gloves while on the field, and pitchers must wear protective face gear while on the mound. Cleates must be plastic or rubber spikes only (no metal spikes allowed). ASA and USSSA bats must pass the Crystal Lake bat compression test onsite and get a sticker to be used in play.

Teams are chosen before the tournament starts and constructed with all skill levels to provide for the most competitive games. We reserve the right to shift teams somewhat if they were created off-balance to create competitive gameplay for everyone.

Coolers are allowed. Outside alcohol, chewing gum, and seeds are prohibited.

Families, fans, kids, and dogs are welcome. Dogs must remain on leashes and under control at all times. Good sportsmanship is expected from all players, fans, and families.
