State Tournament

DFW, TX

Domingo Castaneda

NCS TEXAS STATE-NORTH ZONE(TSB)

Oct 16-18, 2020

DO NOT BRING SEEDS!

Please wear a mask unless you are a player or a coach on the field.

No metal spikes on turf, half turf or temporary mounds. Oak Grove has banned metal spikes at all fields.

We will be using the Melissa Sports Complex and Zadow Park this weekend, along with other ballparks.

The 2 facilities DO NOT ALLOW SEEDS OR SHELL NUTS anywhere on the property. The seed hulls are damaging to the fields, it is particularly important that you DO NOT BRING SEEDS OR SHELL NUTS to these fields.

Penalty: Any fans, players or coaches caught with seeds or nuts with shell hulls will be ejected along with their entire team and will forfeit their remaining games. In addition, the team will not be permitted to enter Travel Sports events for the remainder of the 2021 Season. There will be no exceptions!

This may seem excessive but MSC and Zadow Park will charge us (the event host) a $2000.00 cleaning fee for any seeds or shell hulls that they find on the property or not allow us to host tournaments any longer at their facility.

Please communicate this to your entire team and fans, this will be strictly enforced.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Don Myers
