We are excited to enjoy all games this weekend in a 1-day format. Here are a few reminders.
HWY 18 Construction
For those needing to travel Eastbound on HWY 18 towards 90, please check with DOT about potential road closures, detours, and alternate routes. We have heard from locals that they may be paving a section of road, so plan accordingly.
Rosters
All teams were sent a link to edit their roster. Id imagine most teams have already done this and can disregard, but do make sure all your players are listed.
Teams must be prepared to provide proof of age upon request. If one of your players is protested, the burden of proof will now fall on the team being protested.
Electronic or Physical Copies of Birth Certificates, Passports, School Transcripts are just a few acceptable options, for example.
Rules
Top Tier Ruleset
Pitching
Due to the one day format, teams should only need to worry about the 1-day limit for pitchers. 8u - 12u is 85 pitches // 13u - 14u is 105 pitches
Protests
If you wish to challenge a call by an umpire, you must use our protest protocols. Calmly stop the game and state you wish to protest. Protests must be accomanied by $100 cash. Win the protest, the money is returned. Lose the protest, the money is forfeited.
Rule Interpretation, Rosters, and PItching Violations ONLY
We will not protest judgement calls (ball, strike, safe, out, etc)

Description
Welcome to the Easter Knockout! Divisions will max out at 8 teams and will play a single elimination right / left bracket all the way to completion on both sides. All Top Tier events focus on the overall experience with a heavy emphasis on competitive games. While registering, teams will self-recommend / evaluate a division to participate in and we will split each age group into what WE believe to be balance. The top division does not mean that you are a top team in the entire age group for all teams in the NW, it means that during this event, you are one of the top teams participating. If we do our job, everyone would go 2-2 with a 0 run differential. Competition is one of the biggest factors in growth and we will always do our best to make sure this is happening. To learn more about our ranking / evaluation systems, you can view or rankings page.
