Softball Tournaments

 

 

Registration Procedures:
Head Coaches, please register your own team(s) (link).  It is VERY important that we have the head coach as our SINGLE point of contact for each registered team, for each specific tournament.  Please DO NOT have your president, treasurer, team administrator, or assistant coach register your team.  Thank you!

It is strongly recommended that you have set up and logged in to your DASH Account well ahead of the tournament registration open dates so that you can make sure that your DASH Account is ready to go, and that you are familiar with the registration process.
When the Tournament  Registrations “go live”, the vast majority of the tournaments typically fill within a matter of minutes.  

The online DASH Account registration process will be the quickest and most secure way to register.  It will also give us a very accurate “timestamp” as each registration is received.  Online registrations are automatically entered into the system immediately as they are submitted, while faxed and mailed registrations will need to be manually entered after they are received.

Online registrations will require in-full credit card payments at the time of registration.  The online registration process will provide you with an automatically emailed receipt of your payment, which can then be submitted to your team or organization for reimbursement, as appropriate.

All registrations received with FULL PAYMENT will be processed on a First Come, First Served basis. 

Also:
Please be careful about placing multiple tournament registrations in your shopping cart at one time.

Tournament Cancellation Policy:
Although we try to work with all teams that enter our events, it is important to understand the problems that are created when a team registers for an event and then does not follow through with their commitment to participate.  When you enter a tournament, we make a commitment to you – we expect the same type of commitment in return. These instances not only affect our organization, but every other organization that has made a commitment to play.  Therefore, the following Cancellation Policy is in effect:

      • All cancellations must be received in writing via email, fax, or regular mail.  Verbal cancellations will not be accepted.
      • Teams that cancel out of an event more than 30 days prior to the start of the event, that is not closed, will be issued either a refund or credit of the entry fee minus a $75 administrative fee.  The credit can be used within 12 months for another tournament that the team is not currently registered for.
      • There will be no refund or credit issued for any team that cancels 30 days or less prior to the scheduled start of the tournament.
      • Once a tournament is full and “closed,” or a game schedule has been distributed, absolutely no refunds will be given.  At the sole discretion of the tournament director, a credit may be offered, less a $75 administrative fee, which may be used for another ADKSC tournament during the current year, provided the other tournament is not full and a schedule has not yet been distributed.

Important – 7-day Waiting Period:
During the first seven (7) days following the opening of the Registrations for the Winter Tournaments, we will accept ONLY ONE (1) team per organization per tournament.
Should an additional team from an organization register for the same tournament during the 7-day waiting period, only the first team to register (based on the DASH registration timestamp) will be allowed.  Any additional team(s) will be removed.
Beginning Thursday, Oct. 5th – 7 days following the opening of  Registrations – organizations are welcome to enter additional teams in any remaining tournament openings. 


Wait Lists:
If the tournament you are registering for has reached its enrollment limit and is not “Accepting Teams”, you may mail or email a completed ‘paper copy’ of the Tournament Registration Form (along with full payment) so that we can place you on the waiting list.  The ‘paper’ Registration Forms are at the bottom of each tournament grouping below.  If an opening develops, teams will be contacted in the order that the Wait List Registration forms were received.  Your credit card will not be processed, or your check cashed, unless an opening becomes available, and we have contacted you to confirm that your team is able to fill the open spot.

Age Cut-Offs:
All of the 2023-24 tournaments (fall, winter, and summer) will follow the 2024 USSSA age cut-offs.

Hotels Requirements: 

Hotel Policy: Any teams needing overnight accommodations for the winter tournaments are required to complete all of their reservations exclusively through Halpern Travel.

Management reserves the right to disqualify and remove any team or organization that does not adhere to the Hotel Policy. At a minimum, any team found to be in violation of, or to have violated the Hotel Policy will be fined a $500 penalty fee, which will have to be paid before any further participation in any game, tournament, or event.
We strongly encourage you to book your reservations early.

10/3/23 – Tournaments Expanded:

Because the demand for our Winter Softball tournament has been so great this year, and because most of the tournaments were completely filled within 5 to 10 minutes of going live last Wednesday, thus causing many teams to get closed out, we have made a number of adjustments to the facility schedule so that we will now be able to add four (4) additional teams spot to each of the 14U, 16U 16/18U and 18U tournaments.

IMPORTANT: all teams that register for any of the additional team spots will have to COMMIT to playing two Pool Play games on Friday evening at 7:00 and 8:20 PM.

The new “Friday Commitment” team slots for each tournament are now “live” on the DASH registration page.  (what you need to know about a Friday Commitment)

Please note: each of the new DASH registration offerings start with “FRIDAY” preceding the tournament date.  Also, if a tournament is not listed and/or does not say “Accepting new teams”, then that tournament offering is full.

Also: we realize that last week some teams possibly had to register for a different tournament date than the one that they may have preferred because their preferred date had already been filled. Because the original 12 tournament spots are already full and there is no place to move anyone – without getting another team to agree to move in the opposite direction – we are not going to be able to accept any change requests until AT LEAST after the new Friday Commitment spots have been filled. At that point, we may be able to try to make some registration adjustments, especially if there are two coaches who come to us to say that they would both like to swap tournaments.

VERY IMPORTANT: If a team registers for the Friday evening Pool Play games, and then does not follow through on this commitment, there will be NO REFUND or CREDIT provided.
