This is a softball tournament that will take place at the 2023 Labor Day Bash in Milford Center, Ohio on September 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. The tournament winner will earn a $1,000.00 donation for their school district they are representing. We are looking for teams to be constructed of alumni, school affiliates, current students, and family members.
Teams will play a minimum of four games each and there will be seeding from pool play and a double elimination tournament played Saturday and Sunday (9/2 and 9/3). Teams will have the opportunity to play games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. There can be multiple teams representing a school district and the first six teams will be included in the tournament.
The games will be played in a Texas Shootout Style: each batter starts with a full count of 2 strikes and 3 balls. Each game will be 7 innings and a run-rule will be imposed if the lead is 10 or more after 5 innings. In the event of a tie at the end of regulation innings, the game will proceed with additional innings until there is a winner. During extra innings, you start with a runner on 1st. In the second extra inning, there will be a runner on 1st and 2nd. From the third extra inning on, the bases will be loaded. Teams must have at least ten players(co-ed is allowed and encouraged) and teams can have a maximum of fifteen players. If there are not enough players representing your team at the start of the game, you will be disqualified and the opposing team will win that game.
