Welcome to New Orleans Ultra Draft '25, where we return to the bayou - the place that started it all for the Ultra Draft series. We're getting bigger, better, and ready to party!

A Fully Social Experience

If you travel to a city and play ball and never leave the field, did you actually visit the city? The New Orleans Ultra Draft is setup perfectly to balance the fun and intensity on the field with social experiences off the field. Saturday night is reserved for our after party, where everyone can get together and catch a breather before the push for the championships on Sunday!

Here are some of the things that make the New Orleans Ultra Draft special...

Uniform Pickup / Bat Testing
Teams will pick up their equipment from the main registration table which will be setup at La Salle Park.

Your team is eligible for check-in and equipment pickup two hours prior to your first game. Please only check-in during your allotted timeslot and do not go to check-in early. Players may arrive at the park and hang out ahead of their scheduled check-in time, and then head over during their time block.

E.g. Team A's first game is at 7pm Friday. They are eligible for Registration and pickup between 5-7pm Friday. Team B does not play until 8pm, so they do their uniform check-in from 6-8pm.

NOLA Update - Schedule Update

Thank you everyone for an awesome weekend so far.  We are keeping an eye on the soggy forecast and will provide you an email update as things progress.  The park is officially FULL GO for tomorrow as the turf fields will be playable in rainy weather and park officials have not seen reason to cancel the fields.  

Schedule

PLAYER NO SHOWS
As long as the fields are safe to play on, we will be playing ball tomorrow.  If you show up and your team does not have enough players, we will combine teams and create a separate dog house bracket with prizes to ensure your commitment does not go un-appreciated.  In limited situations, subs will be monitored and available so long as the integrity of the teams and the bracket is not compromised.  Assuming the fields are good to go and you show up tomorrow - you will play ball, and you will have a shot at prizes!  Keep an eye on your email for updates as we continue to monitor the situation.

AFTER PARTY - POUR HOUSE JEFFERSON
Head over now to join us at the Pour House for our official after party.  They have amazing food, great tunes, and a roof to keep you dry.  We will see you soon!

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding as we monitor a soggy forecast!  See you soon at the Pour House Jefferson!
