Rules

Here is a few rules and reminders for the Tournament.

All games are at
Lincoln park

This is one of the nicest dirt field complexes in the Midwest.
Please respect the park and pick up after yourself,slow pitch needs facilities like this, they hard to get with all the youth running at these facilities. This is the only date they have slow pitch in the prime season. Just an FYI, I got complaints from ISP when i ran the last big one there from their staff about dug outs being trashed, etc.

There is a gate fee, you have to enter from the south lot.You can park in the north lot, just have to walk around. The gate fee is 5.00.

The concession takes credit and cash.
Only service animals are allowed, on leashes.
This is a city park, no alcohol is allowed. You can consume all you want in the lot at your own risk.

Any weather issues before the tournament, i will notify you and post here. The forecast looks decent.
This a dual points tournament, just like everyone I run.

_____________________

USSSA Pitching- Have to toe the rubber this year.

_____________________
Bat testing:
We will be testing in the front diamonds by the office.



1 bat per player and only 1. If one fails you get 1 more chance. We only test a bat 1 time, 1 side etc.
Please do not berate my tester, that could be subject for removal from the tournament.

if you want to test another, come in the office after 12 noon, it will be 3.00 per bat.



All bats must have the designated sticker at all times, if you enter the box w/o a sticker and caught, an out will be declared and the bat must be re-tested.

All bats must be 240 stamped. Even if we test a 220 bat and you are caught in the box or hit with one, you will be declared out. It is your responsibility to provide our tester a legal bat to be tested.

Please remove all your old stickers. Use goo gone or peel them off.

If we test a bat that is what we consider, ridiculous, we may cut it or sand off the stamp, they are illegal to use in any USSSA/GSL play. Keep them in the trunk.

We all know that some bats have been Temporarily been banned. We will see how that plays out. The penalty for any of these bats is the same as a 220 or non stickered bat.

It is the players responsibility to retrieve a failed bat, once your team is eliminated.

We may spot check bats.
