This is the 15u, 17U ( Rising Seniors ) and 18U Nations Baseball Ohio State & Midwest Regional Championship. This Tournament is the State Championship for Ohio and also a Midwest Regional Qualifier for teams in Ohio as well teams from out of State. We will attempt to divide teams by competitive level if so requested, but past years have seen all teams wanting to play together to determine the State Champion and qualifier from the Midwest. Out of state teams are eligible to play for the State Championship, but will be required to play at the highest level of play if we divide the tournament into divisions. Teams registered as Select or Elite may play up, but teams registered as Premier and from out of state may not play down. All teams must be registered with Nations Baseball and have their roster and team insurance entered on line at www.nations-baseball.com before the start of the Tournament. Registration fee is $50 and can be paid on line at the Nations Web Site. As with all Team Sports events the tournament will be well organized with timely communication, played at quality facilities, and have the top umpires in youth baseball sanctioned and assigned through the Game Hogz Umpiring School. The Tournament will start on Thursday with games beginning late morning and early afternoon. The games will not interfere with the Showcase on Thursday morning. Teams will have a 4 game minimum. Pool Play will be Thursday and Friday followed by Championship and Consolation Rounds on Saturday and Sunday. Host sites are Thurman Munson Stadium in Canton, Akron University and Kent State University and Mt Union University these sites will be used all 4 days. The other locations will be top high school fields in the Akron / Canton area -- Stow HS, Walsh Jesuit HS, Barberton HS, Woodridge HS, Jackson HS, and St Thomas Aquinas HS to name a few We do plan to have a Player Showcase on Thursday morning for all age groups. The 17u and 18u teams will be advertised to College Scouts. The 15u Showcase will be a player evaluation conducted by College and Academy staff.
