Schedule Requests:

SCHEDULE REQUESTS MUST BE COMPLETED NO LATER THAN THE MONDAY PRIOR TO THE TOURNAMENT DATE.

Please submit all schedule requests using the Schedule Request tab on the event menu. 

We will take schedule requests until Monday, 5:00 pm, prior to the event.

You can only block out a 4-hour block on Friday or Saturday that you cannot play!

Schedule requests that are more restrictive than a 4-hour "no play" block will be difficult to accommodate, but we will do our best!

The schedule request is a request, not a guarantee.

If the Schedule Request tab is not showing in the event menu, it means we have already begun scheduling the event. 

When do schedules post?

Typically, we post schedules on the Tuesday preceding the tournament weekend. (We do reserve the right to post on Wednesdays during the Fall Tournament Season when "Special Requests" are exceedingly high, and during the Spring Season when waiting on NCS Ranking Updates.)

Cooler Policy:

Outside food and drinks are not allowed, with the exception of team cooler for the dugouts. 

*Exceptions are made during extremely hot weather

We have a full concession stand (credit/debit accepted)

Sportsmanship:

Each Head Coach is responsible for the sportsmanship of the entire team, including players, parents, assistant coaches, and fans. Please always demonstrate GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP so that these young athletes see a good example. Please remember that only Head Coaches talk with the umpires regarding questions, etc. (The two Head Coaches and the two Umpires only; no assistant coaches.) Assistant coaches must refrain from this and allow the Head Coach and the Umpire to work through any issues that may arise. 

Behavior at Events:

Cyclone Ballpark has a ZERO-TOLERANCE policy towards disrespectful and adverse behavior. Any fan, parent, player, or coach will be ejected from the event for adverse behavior towards a tournament official, umpire, ballpark staff, or another team or within teams.                                                              

 Anyone ejected must immediately leave the facility. 

PROTESTS

• All protests will require $100 cash to be paid to the tournament director. If the protest is WON, the $100 will be returned to the coach. If the protest is LOST, the $100 will be forfeited.
