ALL BRACKETS ARE NOW POSTED.

I hope that everyone had a great season.

Have a lot of fun this weekend!!

In the 10A/12A Gold divisions: the brackets show seedings but the teams are not "seeded" (it's just how my scheduler works). There is no way to fairly seed teams from three divisions who have never played each other.  It was simply dividing the teams from East, West, and South so that you didn't have to play someone from your division in the first round.  The point of the season ending tournament is to see teams you have not played before that have a similar win/loss record.  I hope that this makes sense. - Raquel

10A Brackets - HLWW & Annandale

Annandale games will be played at Rec Park.  HLWW will be played at Yager Fields.

12A Brackets - Hanover

Hanover will be played at Settlers Park and Cardinal Field.

14A Gold Division - Hutchinson

14A Silver Division - Hutchinson

Hutchinson will play Thurs/Fri at Roberts Park. Sat/Sun will be at Tartan Park and Northwoods South.

ALL FIELDS ARE ON THE WEBSITE WITH FIELD MAPS.

The State Qualifier brackets have been posted.  To find them simply hover over "Forms" at the top of this page and select "AA Qualifier Brackets".  Click on the appropriate bracket to see real time score updates.

Just to clarify again why we are doing a tournament "week" rather than just a weekend: after speaking with many coaches we felt it was in the best interest of the pitchers to be able to spread the days out due to pitch limits and safety of their arms.  We also understand that this format may pose a challenge for the high seed hosting during the week on short notice with regards to getting a field and a umpire.  Let's be patient with each other and be flexible as we navigate this in our first year. Also, the league will reimburse the high seed hosts $65/night to cover the cost of the umpire.

Schedules have been posted. Thank you to all the directors for replying promptly so we were able to make the changes quickly.  If any more changes need to be made please let me know.  My next step will be to make sure that all of the fields have addresses or maps attached.  That may take a few days.

  -AA teams please note that even though there are no games scheduled for the week of June 21, you WILL have GAMES!!  We will have play-in games for the qualifier tournament that week which will be played at the high seed.  The plan is to have the brackets seeded by June 17 based on current league standings.

  -Reminder that we have a coach meeting on Monday, April 26 at 6:30pm at the Hutchinson Event Center.

We are in need of host sites for the AA State Qualifier Tournaments.  The dates are June 25-27.

The format is double elimination.
