Frequent questions:

Will there be a Gate Fee?

There will be no gate fee collected for this event.

When do I pay the Tournament Entry Fee?

The REC tournament is a first-pay/first-play. Your entry into an event is not complete until you have paid the entry fee. Your age/division may sell out before the payment deadline, and usually does. The number of available spots in a division may fluctuate depending on the needs of all divisions that share the same field size. HVABSA does not accept checks. If you need to pay by cash, the deadlines still apply, and you will need to make arrangements with us to drop off a cash payment. Our event typically sells out early, so don't delay and pay early to secure your spot.

When will the Pool Play Schedules be posted?

We will complete all game schedules over the weekend before the tournament and post schedules on the following Monday or Tuesday.

Do teams supply their baseballs? 

Yes, teams supply their baseballs for game play.

Can we bring outside food and coolers?

We encourage supporting the facilities' concession stands. Concession funds go to providing equipment and improving fields for future players' use.  However, participants and fans are allowed to bring outside food and coolers, excluding alcohol.

Please note: No glass containers are allowed at any field location.
