Early Manager Notes

Managers,


Good morning, and I hope this email finds you well!


This is a first communication for next week's USSSA Mixed World Tournament.


We have approximately 70 total teams.


The registration cuts off this morning and I will be working on the bracket this afternoon. It has to be approved by 3 people so it will probably not be out for a few more days.

No special start times will be given.


Mixed D and E teams need to be ready to play at 8am on Friday.


Mixed C and Major teams need to be ready to play at 4pm.


We hope to finish E, C, and Major on Saturday night barring any weather issues.


Mixed D is finishing Sunday morning.
