We are pleased to offer you an invitation to the NINTH annual “2012 Stoughton Invitational Tournament”. This year we will provide tournament play to include 9, 10, 11 and 12 year olds. It will be held over three weekends.

9s & 10As will play Wednesday July 18th through Sunday July 22nd.
11s & 12As will play Wednesday, July 25th through Sunday, July 29th .

Pool play format will be used with all teams guaranteed to play at least 3 games from Wednesday or Thursday to Saturday. Typically, games are scheduled so that there is one game on a weekday and two games on Saturday. Playoffs will be on Sunday which includes the semifinals and Championship. The top team in each pool advances to the semifinals along with one wildcard seed based on overall record in that age group.
PLEASE NOTE: to enter the B level competition, teams MUST have proof of a true “A” team for their town as well.
Some of the highlights of our tournament:
• 5 regulation fields along with two practice fields
• All games will have 2 umpires including certified, patched umpires
• Game MVP recognition/prize for each team at every game
• Trophies to both the Champion and Finalist.
• Home Run Derby

• Full service concession stand and picnic area
• Clean rest rooms.
HOME RUN DERBY
Prior to the Championship games, there will be a Home Run Derby for each age group. Regardless of whether or not your team advances to the playoffs, your tournament entry fee automatically guarantees that you may have two (2) players from the team enter the Home Run Derby. The First Place Prize is an engraved regulation size wooden bat!

Each year our tournament popularity continues to grow! Participation is limited to 10-12 teams per age group and it does sell out early. Please fill out the attached application form and send it in along with your payment as soon as possible to ensure your team a berth in our tournament. Acceptance is based on a first come first serve basis with no spot guaranteed until payment is received. All information is also available on our web site www.stoughtonyouthbaseball.org
**Important: We strongly emphasize that teams make it a priority to participate in all scheduled games. We understand that summer league play and other post-season tournament play may cause a schedule conflict. Should that occur, please make arrangements to reschedule the conflicting game. Our tournament would like to maintain its reputation for providing the opportunity to play quality baseball which forfeits do not provide. We will try our best to work around regular season game schedules if advance notice is given, but that is not guaranteed.
Upon receipt of your application and fee, rules, waiver forms and roster affidavits will be forwarded. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Good luck in your 2012 baseball season!

Sincerely,
Don Connors
