Labor Day 1-Pitch Tournament / Fall 2021

Post by sixofdiamonds »

Player registration now open and underway. Click here to register...
http://www.cuttingedgesports.net/sbareg ... pitch.html



Date: Sunday, September 5, 2021
Rain Date: A rain date shall not be scheduled. If the tourney cannot be played on September 5th, it will not be played.

1st Game: 9:00 am (all games to be played at the Eureka Quarry Field)

Please note: This tournament is a metal bat affair. Core, all-stars, male and female eddies may use any bat as set forth by Softball America’s regular season bat restriction policy.

Please DO NOT register for this tournament unless you are reasonably certain you will be able to attend. If, after registering for the tourney, you find you cannot attend, please be considerate enough to manager tandems and those on the alternate list to notify the league office as soon as humanly possible.

Cost: $15.00/player (2 games guaranteed)

This is a 1-day coed softball event. Eight teams will be formed entirely through a draft system based on individual player statistics. The 8 teams will then compete for the 1-pitch title. Each batter receives 1 pitch. If the pitch is fouled off, swung at and missed, or hits the mat behind home plate, the batter is struck out. If the pitch is a ball, the batter walks. The rest of the game is played in normal fashion. Winning teams will receive their choice of custom jackets or sweatshirts. Plaques and/or trophies will be awarded to the winning managers and tournament MVP's.

This is a great day of softball, fun, food and drink-- kind of like one big picnic where a softball game breaks out every 50 minutes. It's also a great way to meet other Softball America league members. Bring chairs, tents, coolers, and whatever else to make yourself comfortable. Make a day of it or come and go as you please.

Members will be listed in the body of the draft on a first come, first served basis. Entrants must be, or have been, a registered member of Softball America at some point in the past 25 years.*

*Due to the lack of female league member participation over the last few tournaments, female outsiders will now be permitted to enter the tournament.

Along with 8 manager tandems (16 players), an additional 88 players can register to be drafted. Total players 104. The minimum number of eddies - 32 (24 female, 8 male)

Tournament play will follow ASA and SBA league rules with the following exceptions...

1. Core/eddie walk rule WILL be observed. If a male player is walked with a female eddie behind him, the male player will be placed on 2B and the female eddie will bat. Unlike our league rule which needs 2 outs in the 5th, 6th, or 7th inning for the rule to kick in, this rule is in effect through the entire game.
2. 2nd foul ball will not be observed.
3. A 3-3-2 eddie rule will apply for this tournament - 3 eddies must be in the line-up, 3 eddies must play the field, 2 of the eddies in the line-up and field must be female.
4. All roster players must be in the batting line-up.
5. Batting line-ups must consist of alternating female eddies beginning with the first four batters. Male eddies will not be factored into the alternating eddie requirement.

Please know it is entirely possible you could be drafted to a tandem or end up on a team with people you don't like. If that is something you won't be able to deal with, please don't sign up. And please don't be one of those people that signs up, gets on a team you don't like then makes an excuse to bail out. Remember, this is softball. It's all about having fun and nothing more.

The 3-digit number to determine tournament team numbers will be established via the PA Pick 3 Lottery on August 14th (evening draw). https://www.palottery.state.pa.us/Draw- ... ICK-3.aspx

The managing tandem with the 3-digit number that is closest to the PA Pick 3 number (plus/minus) will be Team #1. Using each of the remaining manager tandem's 3-digit numbers, we will move in ascending order from the winning number to determine the balance of the team numbers. 000 will follow 999.

Chris Hackney / Jackie Heim (fe) - 412
Jason Pane / TBD (fe) - 040
Nick Maile /Jenn Sevitski - 722
Phil Black / Greta Sheridan (fe) - 815
Rhiannon Keppley (fe) / Ryan Goodman - 818
Zach Martin / Katie O'Toole (fe) - 913
Greg Reilly / Linda Dart (fe) - 528
Tom Koelzer / Krysta Wellington (fe) - 151

The 1-pitch tourney draft is to be held at the Quarry snack bar this Sunday at 8 pm sharp. If you are a manager, please don't be late. League members are welcome to attend as long as they maintain a healthy respect for the proceedings.

There is a threat of rain. If the draft should get rained out and as long as managers don't have a problem with an indoor draft, the contingency plan is to have it at Palz Tap House, however, I will not be able to run it. My wife is severely immune system compromised and I can't risk bringing COVID home to her. She has gone through a medical treatment recently and COVID could seriously impact that treatment. Curt Hensman has graciously offered to step in on my behalf and run the draft should rain knock the Quarry draft out.

1-pitch managers will be notified via email if a change of venue should occur. A post will be made here as well.
