schedules AND NOW SCORES are posted under LIVE RESULTS 16U POOL

July 5, 2010 - 5:30 am

WELCOME and thank you for patience and support of the 16U Champions Cup

You will be showcasing your athletes in 6 games of pool play. Your Wins and Losses, Ties, Runs For and Runs Against will count towards your seeding for the Single Elimination Tournament which begins on Sunday, July 11, 2010 with Championship Game at 12:00 on Monday, July 12, 2010.

On Wednesday, July 7, 2010, you can pick up your coaches' packets at the host hotel Hyatt after 7:30 pm (look for Susan Bollinger or Lorrie Ivie in the lobby) or pick up at your first game at Harvard Athletic Park at the Champions Cup/SoCal ASA booth located near the snack bar.

Each packet will contain rules, pool games, championship bracket, and Champions Cup Scorecards (these must be turned in by EACH TEAM EACH TIME immediately after each game), umpire sheets, information, maps, etc. Your scores will then be posted on a vinyl scoreboard located near the snack bar as well as posted on the website after each game. It is your responsibility to ensure we have posted the right scores. Whatever is posted on the website when the last game is played on Saturday night will be how you will be seeded for the elimination games starting on Sunday. If you lose your first elimination game on Sunday, you will play a consolation game.

YOU WILL NOTE THERE ARE T-SHIRTS POSTED IN OUR WEBSITE UNDER STORE. PREORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL MIDNIGHT Tuesday JULY 6, 2010 and you can pick up your shirts at the Sports USA booth located near the snack bar. $12.00 prepaid and the back of the shirts will have all the teams names posted and a logo/16U. They really look nice and you have a choice of size and color as well on the preorder. A great deal !!

Good Luck,

Jim Bollinger, Tournament Director
