EVENT DETAILS

Father's Day - Dream Classic

This event is our 6th annual Father's Day - Dream Classic event. Traditionally, there could be Friday evening games as this is the first of our "Summer" events. Whenever possible, we try to schedule as many teams as possible that are closer to the venue in those Friday games and typically for 2 games Fri evening, when possible, then a later Sat afternoon game unless an early Sat game is requested.

Format: All divisions will feature 3 Friday/Saturday pool seeding games into Sunday single-elim bracket play. There could be some cross-over pool games or one large pool if numbers dictate. These guarantees are always weather permitting.

Awards: Champion and runner-up will pick up to 12 USSSA State Rings along with a team award for each team. Team awards are typically a team plaque or banner. We normally also award 3rd place medals if more than 12 teams enter an age group.

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