Aggieland Challenge Schedule

Just a reminder - if you are in the TOP Bracket (8u, 9u, 10u, 11u Gold, 12u Gold, 13u Gold, 14u Gold) and you WIN the championship - after your championship game if you want the "Champaign Spray" celebration with Sparkling Grape Juice, come to Travis Fields after your award ceremony on the field. That's where that specific celebration will be. Come to the Pavilion and the Triple Crown Table. We will direct your team from there. Again CHAMPIONS only for the specific brackets above.

Please send any inaccurate scores/pitching to brennen@triplecrownsports.com

Once teams are advanced to bracket play, scores will not be changed.

Be sure to know the pitching rules! Remember - we are different. With Triple Crown - One Pitch = One Inning!

Pitching Rules: Innings allowed per tournament through first 4 games played:
-7's = 6 innings
-8's = 6 innings
-9's = 6 innings
-10's = 6 innings
-11's = 6 innings
-12's = 6 innings
-13's = 7 innings
-14's = 7 innings
-15's = 8 innings
-16's = 8 innings
-18's = 8 innings
*Each player on the roster gets (1) additional inning per game played starting in a team's 5th game played, 6th=1 more inning, 7th=1 more inning, etc...
*No limit on number of appearances.
*A mound appearance resulting in any single pitch (warm-up pitch or game pitch) being thrown or a play will be considered an inning pitched.
*Eight warm-ups to start, five thereafter. Umpires reserve the right to limit the warm-up time to a minimum of 1 minute regardless of the number of pitches thrown.
*If pitching rules are violated and the infraction is detected, the situation will be reviewed and a MINIMUM of the head coach ejection will be enforced. Additional consequences may include the player ejection from game, player and head coach from the tournament, forfeiture of game and elimination of team from the event.
*Scorecards must be signed by both team managers to eliminate inning validation problems. (Managers, please help with this process.)

DO NOT park on the grass at Bachmann Park! The city has informed us they will tow vehicles parked in the grass. Use the Parking Lot

This will take place at the Travis Fields - 2200 Bomber Dr.
Bryan, TX. We will have the selections during the skills competitions under the shelter. We encourage every team to attend the bracket selections - even if you are not going to be selecting an opponent or taking part in the skills competition. The tentative timing for each bracket selection is below - but we will be flexible based on division games ending. If your team is supposed to select and you are not there - you will forfeit your right to pick! Everybody should start reporting to Travis Fields at 6 pm to start the skills competitions. If all teams from a division are present, we will start the bracket selections! I won’t keep people there all night if we are ready to select ahead of the tentative schedule below
