TOURNAMENT REMINDERS
Sorry for any confusion caused by a previous post (now deleted). Today's games will continue as scheduled at their planned 9 innings as the projected heat index has dropped to 101 degrees at 5PM (thank you stray storm!). There will be coolers with free water and sports drinks at YSC 1, 3, 5, and concessions. Although the heat index has fallen significantly, please continue to follow the heat safety tips in the comments below to help keep everyone safe!
5:00 PM home teams (First Responders, R-Bar, Global Cafe, Free State, Soda Jerks, JDE, Red Legs & KBC Tropics): Pick up equipment from the YSC concessions between 4:15–4:30 PM.

Captains should have received lists of all tournament eligible players. Please refer to these lists when making lineups today.
Winners of the 9:30 PM games, return all equipment to YSC concessions.
Tournament ref assignments are different! Your team will ref either the game immediately before or immediately after your game on the same field.• 5:00 teams

We only have field lights until 11:30 PM. Help keep the tournament on schedule by:• Starting games on time
• Avoid taking your 10 minute delay unless absolutely necessary
• Clearing dugouts immediately after games
• Warming up outside the fields
• Cutting down on amount of pitches you take
Good luck to all 36 teams! We'll see you on the fields!
Here are a few heat safety tips to consider to keep everyone safe!
We are providing coolers with free water and sports drinks. The red coolers will be stationed at YSC 1, 3, 5 and concessions. While we want to keep games on time, player safety is our top concern. We recommend communicating with captains and refs if you or your team need a few extra minutes between innings to get shade and water. Please try to limit the pitches you take to cut down the amount of time standing/playing in the heat and sun. Hydrate! Drink lots of water and electrolyte drinks. Consider swapping your game-time beer with a water. Stay inside as much as possible before the games! Take care of your refs! Rotate folks in, wear big hats, bring umbrellas for shade. If you have a canopy/shade tent, bring that out, especially for fields 5-8. Look out for your teammates and community!
