This
is our 2008 Winter/Spring/Summer Schedule
-
Other
tournaments will be added as fields become available. Keep
checking back as the season progresses. Summer
Schedule will be posted shortly.
-
Please note
that sites/locations may change without notice due to field
availability. Also, some tournaments may play Sunday games
at alternate locations due to field restrictions. If a
tournament is cancelled for any reason, USSSA has no
financial responsibility other than to refund the entry fee
for the cancelled tournament.
-
Signing up
for a tournament scheduled at Big League Dreams does not
guarantee that you will play at Big League Dreams. Field
restrictions and the size of various age groups make
it impossible to schedule all game at Big League Dreams.
Every attempt will be made to schedule as may games as
possible at the park listed as location of the tournament.
-
All teams
participating in USSSA leagues and tournaments must have a
team insurance policy.
-
For the 2008
season, we will not freeze rosters until March
1st. All teams that have won tournaments prior to
March 1, will receive World Series berths. However, their
roster will not be frozen until that time. Players are not
frozen until March 1. The only exception to this is players
and teams with Elite World Series berths. Teams with
a berth may not disband after May 1st.
Note that players frozen to a major team can be released,
but they must go to another major team. They can not drop
down in class to a AAA or AA team.
-
Teams that
win a "AAA" Tournament owe a play-up
tournament at the major level. A team that wins a AA
Tournament must play a tournament at the AAA level. The play
up should be in the next available tournament that the
higher division is offered with the exception of Holiday
weekends or NITS.
Effective Labor Day of 2007, USSSA and other associations
have adopted a new age cutoff date of April 30th. The age a
player is on April 30th , 2008 will determine his league age
for the 2008 season.
Check the schedule
frequently for updates. Tournaments may be added as fields
become available.
