We are just a week away from an amazing event where you get to play with the pros, chase the biggest prize packages, and get the special exclusive debut of the entire Anarchy 2026 Bat Lineup. Sure, it may be a little chilly, but ya know... So what? We're going to make it a blast!
Get cozy as this email will contain a ton of information to get you excited and prepared to ball out this weekend.
Your Pros Are Playing - Introducing the Game Changer
This weekend you will be led into battle by one of your favorite pros, but we wanted to make sure the focus stayed on your skills and abilities. But hey, what good is hanging with the Pros if you don't get a chance to see what they can do, so here's how your pros will become your Game Changer.
🌊POOL PLAY🌊
One pro can join your squad as a 13th player for the entirety of the game. See what they can do, and show off a little bit yourself.
📈 BRACKET PLAY - GAME CHANGER TOKENS📈
Once the Bracket Play begins, it's all about your drafted squad. However, you know our Pros can't sit on the bench the entire time. That's why we're supplying our Pro Players with two Game Changer tokens. There are three uses of the tokens: Attack, Defend, and Nerf.
⚔️Attack⚔️ Once used by a Pro, they instantly step into the batter's box and get to swing for their team. Don't think about getting cheeky and walking them, however, because time stops and they cannot be walked! You better pitch and pray! | 🛡️Defend🛡️ Taking a lead into the late innings and need to lock it down? Your pro instantly joins the field in the 5th man position - but everyone else stays on the field too. That's right - your team spends half an inning with 11 defenders to tighten the screws on your opponent. | 🔫Nerf🔫 Here's where the strategy really sets in. As soon as a token is declared, the opposing team can use one of their tokens to weaken the other pro! For a Pro stepping into the batters box, they get the pleasure of using a Wooden Bat. For a Pro stepping onto the field as a defender, they have to catch and throw opposite-handed. |
Use your Game Changer tokens wisely, Pros!
Event Schedule
FRIDAY NIGHT SHENANIGANS
Friday night is for getting in town, warming up, and partying down. While there are no official games, here's what you can expect to do at the fields on Friday. The park will officially open at 5pm with activities starting at 6pm.
Note: Our Friday festivities will be structured in a way that you can participate in everything!
This was a HIT in Lake Wylie, so we're bringing it back! This is a 2GG mini-tournament to give you some fun, casual swings and a different experience as you use a 16" Chicago Ball / Pumpkin Ball. Cost to participate is $25 and there will be prizes on the line for the top team. The first game starts at 6pm! Registration will open next week - look for that update email! |
Our pros aren't just pretty faces - they are *highly skilled* at whacking balls with bats and scooping grounders with gloves, and you can learn from them at the field. Inside your player kit, there will be a "PRO PRACTICE" slip of paper that grants you a session with one of our pro players. They will be available starting at 5pm on Friday, and one field will be reserved for Pro practice all night long. |
You all know Hefty for his cat-like snapping-off reflexes, but what about his elite trick shot pitching skills? As you can imagine - they're pretty great. But this isn't about him, it's about YOU so let's see what you can do! The Trick Shot Challenge will involve players throwing balls from the mount to try and land perfect strikes within the target. Accuracy will be king here, but we'll have a special division for FLAIR. So if you've got a special thing you've been dying to whip out and show Hefty, now's your chance! ...phrasing? |
Y'all know these balls are going to fly next weekend, so let's kick things off with a fireworks show! The Home Run Derby will take place on Friday night starting at 8pm. 10 swings, 2 takes - one all important chance to impress your favorite Pros. |
