Special Events
Join us for an evening of fun as we kick off the tournament with a Meet & Greet, Bat Testing, Home Run Derby, and Skills Challenge on Friday night.

Home Run Derby & Skills Challenge - Men's and Women's Divisions. Sign up onsite. Entry is $20 per player, per event or $35 to participate in both.  $10 buybacks will be offered. Players may swing any bat for these events, but bats must pass compression within allowed limits (See below). All entries must be finalized by 9:15pm. Tournament games must be played with compression-tested USSSA 240 bats on Saturday.

Skills Challenge - Not a Home Run Hitter?  Don't worry, we have the event for you.  The skills challenge rewards placement and precision over power, as you are awarded points for where the ball lands after your hit.  Place the ball all across the field to maximize your points and claim victory.  Hit the 8 targets spread throughout the field to REALLY jump up your point total!

Home Run Derby - Equipment - Players must hit supplied stadium balls and pitcher must pitch from behind a protective screen. Any bat that is in good condition and not modified may be used so long as it passes within 30 points of its certification label. Males 50+ and Females 45+ may use Senior bats, which must pass at 140 compression. Bats will only be tested after a player has become the scoreboard leader and a failed bat test will result in an automatic re-swing. If players are uncertain their bat will pass, they may volunteer to get it tested in advance.
