          Day Madness 
           
            Place: 
              We will use several complexes in South Central PA with each age group in the same town (possibly 2-3 sites depending on the size of that age group). Teams generally stay at the same site the first 2 days and possibly move to a different site the last day for championship play depending on how you seed. We will use a total of 12-14 complexs and 45-50 fields.

              A 3 day weekend you sure don’t want to miss out on, we already have teams coming from as far as Alberta, Canada! Open up 
              your season with a bang by playing up to 10 games over the holiday 
              weekend. Last year this tournament filled up fast (most age groups 
              were full in January) and featured several national champions. Competition 
              is pretty strong, so don’t miss out on a chance to play some 
              of the top teams on the East Coast. Guaranteed best team and individual 
              trophies around along with Game MVP medals! 6 pool games into elimination 
              with gold, silver, and bronze brackets for championship play (based 
              on your seeding). This tournament is a good fit even for younger 
              teams - you don't get any better without playing good competition 
              (play the best, then become the best)! We’ve historically 
              started as late as possible on Saturday morning and still gets all games in. We try and do the inverse Monday, starting early to get teams out in a timely manner. Up to 60 teams 
              in some age groups. Because the event is a PONY qualifier, you will 
              have to be a PONY registered team. You can register at www.pony.org. 
              Register early as spots are limited. Lots of berths (up to 4 in 
              most age groups) to give out. All teams will get a game MVP medal 
              every game. We're starting to do rain dances already to keep the 
              rain away and the warm weather out, so sign up for a beautiful weekend 
              of great weather and fastpitch softball! |
