2013 Fresno Force Classic

[Intel]

The tournament will be as it was the last few years. You will play 3 pool play games on Saturday seeding into Sunday single elimination bracket play. If the number of teams exceed 32 teams in a single age group, teams will be placed in a gold / silver bracket on Sunday based on Saturday pool play. This is a 4 game guarantee tournament, but on the average most teams will play five games.

To accomplish this we have currently have 22 fields, but could possible go to 28 fields if the Force board expands the tournament. The other six fields have issues, so we do not like to use them. The main issue is distance to the other main fields.

We currently do not plan on any night games, although we do have access to 7 lighted fields. Championship games are scheduled at 4 pm on Sunday.

Thank you for the clarification, I was concerned that the tournament might begin on Friday night and that would have a huge impact on my driving plans.

[Intel]

Rock the Park, I understand your concern about Friday night games and as we have teams that fly in for the tournament. We maintain a 4 team to 1 field ratio which allows for us to play all the pool games on Saturday. We are hesitant to add night games as this leaves us short fields on Sunday and extends the Championship games later on Sunday.

Thanks to the co-operation of some High School Varsity coaches, we were able to add four additional fields to include two stadium fields. The size of the tournament has been set. We will have up to 20 10U teams, 60 12U teams and 32 14U teams.

Team list has been updated as of this morning.

We will set the Pools at our April 8th board meeting. Pools will be posted by April 10th.
