| Nov. 13, 2023 SSUSA Staff | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Balls in Phoenix Excerpt from the Manager Program ... __________ BALLS: Managers will receive six (6) game balls at check-in. Managers can pick the balls up at the director table when they drop off their waiver form. SSUSA will supply an additional game ball per team per game after teams play a sixth (6th) game. The ONLY softball allowed for the tournament is the BADEN FIRE. Players or teams can buy balls for $20 for three, $40 for six, etc. We do not sell single balls. __________ |
