Memorial
Day Madness
-
Place:
We will use several complexes in South Central PA with each age group in the same town (possibly 2-3 sites depending on the size of that age group). Teams generally stay at the same site the first 2 days and possibly move to a different site the last day for championship play depending on how you seed. We will use a total of 12-14 complexs and 45-50 fields.

Comments:
A 3 day weekend you sure don’t want to miss out on,
we already have teams coming from as far as Alberta, Canada!
Open up your season with a bang by playing up to 10 games over the
holiday weekend. Last year this tournament filled up fast (most
age groups were full in January) and featured several national champions.
Competition is pretty strong, so don’t miss out on a chance
to play some of the top teams on the East Coast. Guaranteed best
team and individual trophies around along with Game MVP medals!
6 pool games into elimination with gold, silver, and bronze brackets
for championship play (based on your seeding). This tournament is
a good fit even for younger teams - you don't get any better without
playing good competition (play the best, then become the best)!
We’ve historically started as late as possible on Saturday
morning and still gets all games in. We try and do the inverse Monday,
starting early to get teams out in a timely manner. Up to 60 teams
in some age groups. Because the event is a PONY qualifier, you will
have to be a PONY registered team. You can register at www.pony.org.
Register early as spots are limited. Lots of berths (up to 4 in
most age groups) to give out. All teams will get a game MVP medal
every game. We're starting to do rain dances already to keep the
rain away and the warm weather out, so sign up for a beautiful weekend
of great weather and fastpitch softball!
