If you need a place to stay during the tournament, please send an e-mail to dhein@adrian.edu for rates. Staying at Adrian College is much cheaper than staying at a hotel.

 

This will be a unique tournament for several reasons.:

#1: Depending on the number of registered teams, this tournament will be using more college fields than any other tournament in Michigan or Ohio. Also we don't plan on having teams travel from field to field on the same day if we can help it.

#2: Our featured field is a former Minor League ballpark! The first thirty teams to register and pay, regardless of age division, will be guaranteed a game at Ned Skeldon Stadium, the former home of the Toledo Mud Hens (weather permitting).

#3: Individual players who do not have a team that is entered in the tournament can still register and will be placed on the Free Agent Board.

#4: There will be 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U/18U (we will also allow Legion teams), and 19+ (Adult) age divisions.

#5: There are no required hotels for the tournament. Please feel free to stay at any hotel of your choice.

#6: Numerous college coaches and pro scouts will be invited.

#7: Awards will be given out to the First and Second Place teams in each division.

#8: A Most Valuable Player will be selected in the Championship Game of each age group.

#9: Tournament updates through Twitter, e-mail, and text alerts.

#10: Teams will be required to provide game balls since we do not have a gate fee and do not have required hotels. The other reason is because we spent more money on fields and trophies than any of these other tournaments around here.

 

Please make all checks out to Wolverine-Buckeye Tournament Company and send them to this address ($1,250 per team):
