Description

Introducing a Brand New Format From League Joe!

We trial-tested a brand new competitive format, Keeper Draft,  for our drafts in Indy, so now we are bringing this to Pensacola. Unlike our other drafts, players must meet minimum skill and competitive standards to participate. No soft, warm and fuzzy feelings here - you're coming to play, and you're here to win.The ladies are playing in the Siren's Ultra Draft, so might as well theme this Sailors! 

Two-Day Tournament at Exchange Park

How it Works

For Coaches of Existing Teams
Missing a bunch of your guys this weekend? You can still get valuable swings by bringing up to 6 players to the draft. These are your "Keeper Picks" and will be slotted into the draft, and then you will draft up to 10, 11 or 12 players (your choice).

  • Safety rails are removed - there's no salary cap
  • Every player in the draft will be a competitive player ready to give it their all
  • Scout potential future recruits
  • Coaches help vote on and determine rules for the event

For Free Agents
New to the area? Your team disbanded? Been looking for a new competitive team? Join us a Free Agent and you will put your talents on display for teams around the region.

  • Receive a non custom "Free Agent" jersey that matches your team, but also makes it clear that you're up for grabs
  • Have a team already, and just want extra swings? Come get em
  • Test your mettle against strong competition without risking a "ratings bump"

Schedule Overview

Greetings and thank you for joining us at the Ultra Draft! With the challenging weather season, we have made several pivots to allow for a fun weekend of ball with as much participation as possible. At this time, the affects of Hurricane Milton are unlikely to affect our fields so our tournament will run with the following schedule adjustments.


Friday - Meet & Greet + Player Selection/Draft
6:00pm-9:00pm - Miller's Ale House

Come out and grab a beverage and meet your teammates for the first time at Miller's Ale House to let folks loosen up before the tourney kicks off. Players will be drafted and revealed at this event, so come find out where you're playing!

Note: If you cannot make it, you will still be drafted if your payment has been completed.


Saturday - Ultra Draft Tournament
9:00am-11:00pm - Exchange Park

We will complete both our Men's and Women's tournaments entirely on Saturday, with pool play finishing in the morning before we run a double elimination bracket until the conclusion of the event. All teams will have a 5 game guarantee and prizes will include championship rings, swag, jerseys, bats, and more!

Tournament Schedule

Pensacola Sailors Ultra Draft - Schedule Update

Greetings!  We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend for our first Pensacola Sailors Keeper Draft.  Here's some info to help you get where you need to go this weekend!

Hurricane Milton / Weather

Hurricane Milton is not on a path to land near Pensacola, but it has affected many of our traveling players and our hearts go out to all Floridians in the path of the storm. We are on track to play as the weather for the weekend looks dry, but we have made adjustments to the schedule and format to make the event accessible to as many players as possible. Additionally, we will use our event as a donation collection spot so if you have items to donate, please feel free to bring them and we will send them with a caravan of supplies heading into the region early next week to support. If you wish to donate cash, we encourage you to please donate directly to the Red Cross.


Free Agent Spots Open

With a number of late cancellations, we have several free agent roster spots open for this weekend. If you know any others who want to play - please send them our way! And if you're in this email and haven't finished signing up yet - join now!

Finish Registration

Schedule for the Weekend - Friday
Miller's Ale House - 5906 N Davis Hwy, Pensacola, FL 32503

Full Schedule

If you are coming into town on Friday or are local and looking to hang, we will be taking over Miller's Ale House for our Meet and Greet hang out. This is also the location where we will draft players and be the first opportunity to meet and say hello to your new teammates! If you cannot make it to Friday and have completed your payment, don't worry - you'll still be drafted!


Saturday Play
Exchange Park

Based on the number of available fields and teams, we have decided to complete all play on Saturday. First games will start at 9am and after 3 time-limit pool play games, there will be a double elimination bracket. The tournament will complete in the early evening with our champions crowned.


Sunday Play

We are opening up Sunday as an optional day for those who want to maximize the amount of ball they play with a One Pitch tournament! This optional event is just $10 and will take place in the morning. Teams will be drafted and/or free agents placed with local teams looking to fill their squads. If you've never tried one-pitch, this 35-minute format will challenge your abilities as a hitter in a new fast pace game!


Thank you to everyone and we look forward to seeing you soon!


Share with Your Team!
