This is our 15th year of hosting tournament baseball and this will be the 1st Annual Big 8 Community Challenge. This event is for Community Level teams only ( Teams with at least 75% of their roster from the same Community ) no open roster Travel Teams.
Games will be played in the Akron / Canton area at the First Energy / Patterson Park Baseball Complex / Cascade Valley Park and JEDD Park in Akron and Butler Rodman Park in Alliance.
Team Sports hosts the Top events in Ohio by attracting a great field of teams, playing at quality facilities, providing timely communication, and having the best umpires in youth baseball. All Umpires are sanctioned and assigned through the Game Hogz Umpiring School -- if you've played in our tournaments you know what I mean.
This will be a 3 game minimum for all age groups with most teams gettting 4 to 5 games as we will play pool games for qualification to Gold and Silver Championship Brackets on Sunday. Teams will pay umpires on the field per team per game ($25 for 8u / $30 for 9u and 10u / $45 for 11u - 13u / $50 for 14u - teams will supply game balls - they will be returned at the end of the game.
Team and Individual awards for 1st and 2nd place
