Men's Fall Classic 1-Pitch Tournament 2022

Post by sixofdiamonds »

Date: Saturday, October 1, 2022
Rain Date: October 8, 2022
1st Game: 9:00 am (all games to be played at the Eureka Quarry ball field)

Entry Fee: $300.00 per team (based on 8 teams) 2 games guaranteed

After expenses (trash, port-a-potties, softballs, umpires, scorekeepers, statistician, electric, insurance). The prize money breakdown is as follows (based on 8 teams)...

1st Place: $1,000.00
2nd Place: $300.00

The $300 cash team entry fee must be remitted to the league on or before September 19th. You can give it to me or Nancy Razzi at the Quarry ball field. Be sure to get a cash receipt.

Each batter receives 1 pitch. If the pitch is fouled off, swung at and missed or hits the mat or plate, the batter is struck out. If the pitch is a ball, the batter walks. Fair batted balls are played in normal fashion. The pace of play is fast. The games are quick. It's a lot of fun for sure.

This is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself in the SBA community and earn some cash prize money for the team. Use the money for team shirts or a team celebration at your favorite watering hole. You can enter an existing SBA league team. You can enter a partial SBA league team and cherry pick players from other teams to join up with you. Or, you can build a team from scratch with any combination of players from any combination of teams. The only requirements are listed below.

Roster Requirements: Each team must have in their line-up at all times no less than 6 registered Softball America league members. Registered SBA league member refers to any player that has paid a league fee in 2022. This is an insurance requirement. Tournament teams need not be the same as regular season teams. Tournament teams can be a combination of 2 or more teams. The 6 registered SBA members on a tournament team can be from 6 different teams. As long as you have these 6 current SBA members, you can fill in with whomever you like.

Teams
Wire2Wire Sports Podcast - Mgr. Gene Walczak
Doom Cats - Mgr. Chris Hackney
The Commission - Mgr. Phil Black
Vertex - Mgr. CJ Snyder
Philly Junk - Mgr. Tom Rider
Birdgang - Mgr. Jason McLaughlin


Yes, there will be some good teams entered, but they aren't THAT good. The 1-pitch format is the great equalizer. There is limited space. We will max out at 8 teams. Email the league office ASAP if you are interested.

Each manager has sent in a 3-digit number which will be used in a lottery to determine tournament team numbers via the PA Pick 3 Lottery on September 24th (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 (#2-#6). 000 will follow 999. Team numbers are used to determine game times and first round team match-ups.

The manager vote to play the tournament in a pool style format vs. winner/loser bracketing has resulted in a redraw of team numbers. Once team numbers have been established, the pool play schedule will be posted.

A coin flip will determine home and away teams in Games 1 thru 6. Higher seed will determine home and away teams for the balance of the tournament with the exception of the 2/3 finals where the higher seed will be home team in Game 1 and Game 3 (if needed).
