**** Weather announcement****
I have spoken with Ridley Park administration concerning impending rain conditions. Changes have been made to schedule to try and finish the tournament before the rain comes in.
New Format: Warm Up game has been dropped. Teams are assigned their first bracket. Cost of tournament is adjusted to 8U $125 - 10U/14U $175.00 all discounts will apply.
Ridley fields are in great condition and will take some rain as of now.
Game times are 55mins on the clock, finish the inning. It is possible that there will be some light rain during the day, bring extra towels to keep balls dry. We will not come off the fields unless there is lighting within 5 miles of park. The goal is to finish all games before 5:00pm.
All bracket are updated.
