    This event is our 6th annual Queen of Diamonds NIT event. This is traditionally a 2 pool/double-elim bracket play event. It is classified as a NIT which means 4x USSSA points are awarded in this event.

    Format: All divisions will feature 2 Friday afternoon/Saturday morning pool seeding games into Saturday afternoon/evening double-elim bracket play. There is a chance a team could play up to 4 games on Saturday and also be eliminated if they lose both bracket games on Saturday evening. These guarantees are always weather permitting.

    Awards: Top 2 teams in each division will pick up individual NIT rings with team awards. Awards will consist of 12 champion and 12 finalist rings. If we have more than 12 teams in an age division, we will add 3rd place team and individual awards as well. Team awards may be a plaque or team banner.

    Merchandise: There will be a merchandise pre-order for the event consisting of t-shirts & dry-fits. There may be a few items onsite for sale as well consisting of tournament merchandise and other items. After the event, teams will have the option to purchase customized champions merchandise from UTP.

    Additional Info: This event is also a USSSA National Championship qualifier for the top three finishing teams with an unpaid berth to a USSSA National Championship of their choice.
