Check-In time will be 8:30 a.m. sharp for all team captains - round robin play will begin after the live drawing
1. All formats are round robin then seeded to single elimination
2. 3 round robin games then single elimination begins (all teams guaranteed 4 games)
3. All games will be 5 innings (10 run rule after any inning will be in effect)
4. One Strike looking and batters is out (batter takes strike = out)
5. Round Robin games will have time limit of 50 minutes (home team must bat last if behind)
6. Round Robin games tied after 5 complete innings or 50 minutes (whichever comes first) will be declared a tie.
7. Single elimination games - no time limit - tiebreaker will be as followed:

All tournaments will have a registration fee of $75.00 paid in advanced. There will be no signup or paying on tournament day. Each team will receive $30.00 back AFTER they have been eliminated from the tournament OR have won the tournament. If a team no shows or leaves the tournament early, they will NOT be entitled to the refund and will forfiet their $75.00 entry fee. This results in each tournament having a $45.00 fee per team used for supplies, trophies, etc. If you would like to particpate in all tournaments or take advantage of a discount you may prepay for all 3 by May 15 for $180.00. If you prepay the $180.00 you will receive the $30.00 cash back per tournament which will result in a $30.00 fee per team if you play in all 3 tournaments..

This year's voting was not without it's share of controversy, landslides, and close wins. These winners were not hand picked, they were voted on by their wiffleball peers. Let's make sure we get everyone to vote next year. The voting was good, but I know we have more players than that. Congratulations to all of you who won.
Team Rankings, Grades and Evaluations
BENCHWARMERS
RANKING 6
PITCHING B-
HITTING C+
PERFORMANCE B-
This team had some good wins with timely hitting and was even one strike away from their first LSWA Finals. This is a young team which is gaining experience against some of wiffleball best. If they stick with it, they could be a force in years to come.
I DON'T KNOW
RANKING 5
PITCHING B
HITTING C+
PERFORMANCE B
This team burst on the scene winning against some solid teams. They are eager to play and gain experience. With an addition of another bat, this team could win. Good first season.
PLOWBOYS
RANKING 4
PITCHING C+
HITTING B-
PERFORMANCE B
Led by the Brothers of Bash and by a host of others they competed. It was always fun to compete against them. This team is involved with off season movement. This team will no longer be an underdog.
WHITE TRASH EXPRESS
RANKING 3
PITCHING B-
HITTING B+
PERFORMANCE B
White Trash has never had trouble hitting, it is their lack of depth at pitching. Hum... Texas Rangers? One pitcher only gets you so far. This was WTX's last season. Rare occurences may happen. A disappointing last season, but an improvement still.
TIMMAD DOG
RANKING 2
PITCHING A
HITTING A+
PERFORMANCE A
Another solid year for the boys of Timmad Dog. The roster is tough from spots 1-3. Good defense followed by good pitching is a constant with this team, but their hitting exploded this year! The team broke numerous records and individual records too. It is only a matter of time before they knock off number 1.
REMEMBER THE NAME
RANKING 1
PITCHING A+
HITTING A
PERFORMANCE A+
A team with some new players, but with the same results. All 3 can pitch good to great. Hitting lacked at times, but always had enough to win. This team will be tough again next year, and the next year.......
Tournament Trash for Nationals
Man was it hot!!!! Well, the final tournament of the LSWA season has came and gone. It was billed as the National tournament because we were expecting teams from different states, but what has been a thorn in our side all year, they no-showed(more on this epidemic later). Even though only 5 teams competed; Plowboys, Wildboyz, I Don't Know, Remember the Name and Chivas; it was great competition. There were some great plays, clutch hits and drama filled games. Besides the scorching sun, the tournament went well. Remember the Name took home the prize followed by Chivas. Remember the Name finished off their year the same way they started, winning. Their trophy shelf has to be full by now. Will there be anybody to take them down? Well, that question will have to be answered next season. Thank you all for attending(especially those who drove for several hours).
