State Tournament Special Information -
Mandatory Qualifier: If you are going to USFA World Series in Panama City Beach, Florida you must play in the State Tournament to qualify. You don’t have to place anything specific, only play in it.
Rosters will be locked after this event; you are able to pick up to 2 players post State to Nationals; Note if you have special circumstances where you need more it will require State Director approval. This helps prevent post State “team building” which hurts divisions at World Series.
All rosters will need to be entered into the USFA system for the event by midnight the Thursday before State Tournament; as the rosters will lock at 2pm Friday before the event starts.
Note, at the first bracket game each team will need to go through a bat safety check before the plate conference. Each team will need to stand all of the bats on the outside fence of the dugout to allow umpires to review the bats.
Teams will flip for home or visitor at the plate conference; Championship game home designation will go to the winners bracket team, and there will be “If” games for each division
