This is our 2008 Winter/Spring/Summer  Schedule   
    1.   Other tournaments will be added as fields become available. Keep checking back as the season progresses.  Summer Schedule will be posted shortly.

    2. 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. 

    3. 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.

    4. All teams participating in USSSA leagues and tournaments must have a team insurance policy. 

    5. 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.

    6. 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.
