Welcome to the USSSA C World Series hosted by Alabama USSSA on July 20-25 in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama. We are blessed to have outstanding parks and facilities to play Fastpitch

Congratulations on an outstanding season and welcome to the 2010 USSSA Fast Pitch C World Series Tournament. The C World Series will be held for age’s 10U-18U.  The World Series Tournament will be held in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama. Games will be played at the Gulf Shores Sports Plex and the Orange Beach Sports Plex, July 21 – 25, 2010.

The USSSA Fast Pitch program will use a 5-game guarantee format in its World Series Tournament. Teams will be seeded into pools based on current USSSA ranking points and play a round robin. All teams will be seeded into a double elimination championship bracket following pool play. Seeding will be based on pool finish. The exact format of the tournament, e.g., number of games, number of teams in each pool, etc., will be set by the tournament director following USSSA Fast Pitch guidelines as approved by the USSSA Fast Pitch National Committee.

To guarantee your spot in the tournament, your team will need to complete the online entry process (new for 2010). All entries must be made through the www.usssa.com website. You will be required to submit your entry and payment online. At this point it will be subject to approval by your state director. Once approved, your entry will be considered complete for this World Series Event. Official entry and payment process must be completed no later than July 9, 2010.  The entry fee for 2010 will be $365.

All team rosters must be on the USSSA website and must be the one that was submitted to your state/area director when your team qualified for this tournament. Your state director must sign the roster we receive. Failure to comply with this rule will result in your team’s removal from the tournament.

All players participating in USSSA Fast Pitch youth tournament play shall have proof of age in possession of their team manager at all times. Proof of age must be verified by a government issued document that identifies the player by name, gender and birth date. Failure to produce a copy of such document upon demand by and deemed non-fraudulent by a tournament official will result in the offending team losing the game, being eliminated from the tournament, being placed last in the standings and forfeiting all awards, sponsor’s travel money and tournament berths that would have been awarded at the tournament.

 

 

NOTES:
All playing rules shall be governed by the official USSSA Fastpitch softball rulebook and national by-laws. Note that the rulebook online at www.usssa.com will always supersede the latest printed version if a discrepancy exists. 
For this event, we will be playing by amended "C" Rules.  Please see page 6 for those rules addendums.
