A few games (in the first few days of the tournament) will be played on the field behind the snack bar and picnic pavilion (Minors field). Neither field has lights, so weeknight games will be expected to start promptly at 6 pm. In the event of rain or darkness, games will be resumed consistent with Babe Ruth tournament rules.

Please do not use chain link fencing for soft toss, tee work, or pitching warm-ups. Each team will be provided 10 minutes on the field for infield practice prior to the start of each game, however, feel free to use any open field space for additional warm-ups. Parking: Please respect any designated No Parking areas throughout the complex, in particular, the area around the snack bar where emergency vehicles may need access.

Develop a strong urge for sportsman-like conduct. Develop an understanding of and respect for the RULES. Develop courage in defeat, tolerance and modesty in victory. Develop controls over emotions and speech. Develop spirit of cooperation and team play. Develop into real, true CITIZENS. Best of luck to all teams we re looking forward to a great tournament! 9
