The park is also known as Green Springs Park; the address is: 331 16th Avenue South Bham. I have 5 fields and will take no more than 20 teams. It will be 4 team round robin, 3 game guarantee. 5 HR's, then walks; 1/1 count with extra foul; run rule is 15 after 5. Entry fee is $190 and includes umpires (2 per game), 6 softballs. Info: Steve 205-647-2881. I have 7 teams at present. Thanks |
| Jan. 23, 2014 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | I have been contacted by one 40/45 team; would love to have 3 other teams for a round robin! |
| Jan. 26, 2014 Georgiaman 4 posts | Steve, Huffman Electric will play on March 1. We have reorganized. And will play 65 AAA this year. We are dedicating this season to our Friend, JW Jones. Send me the details to my email (thlee300@bellsouth.net). Waiting to hear from you. Joe Lee |

| Jan. 27, 2014 Vance+50 Men's 60 66 posts | Southpaw, is this a nonsanctioned tournament? Meaning, we don't have to have SSUSA cards yet, just be of age? |
| Jan. 27, 2014 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | I believe all you need is your money and 10 players. Great tourney. |
| Jan. 27, 2014 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Hey friends, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Joe, I will e-mail you as soon as I complete this message. Jerry, my one rule that keeps everyone from making an unnecessary trip is that we will not conduct the tourney if it is not going to be 50 degrees plus. So, I usually make a determination a week prior the tourney. Also, Jerry, I can only take a maximum of 20 teams. That way, we can start at 10 a.m. (central time) and finish around 5 to 6 p.m. Vance, it is not a sanctioned event. Everyone looks at it as shaking the rust off, getting some batting and fielding practice, and good fun and fellowship. Cajun Joe, thanks for your endorsement. I might add that the park has a great concession stand; not your normal hamburgers/hotdogs. It is good food at reasonable prices. |
| Jan. 27, 2014 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Sorry, Jerry, did not answer your question. I will take teams up to the week of the tourney, or until I have reached 20 total. Thanks |
| Jan. 27, 2014 jerrytodd01 16 posts | Thanks for the info, go ahead and put Southern Hurricanes in the 50+AAA. Will you have a AAA and major bracket or just group the 50+ together? It really does not matter, I was just wondering how many 50+AAA are left in this area since alot of them have moved to major this year. |
| Jan. 28, 2014 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Thanks, Jerry. My e-mail is dbelc37183@aol.com. Please message me with a phone number or e-mail, so that I can stay in touch about the tourney. |
| Jan. 30, 2014 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | I have 8 teams so far: Crim 70's, Huffman Elec. 65's, Strykers 60's, R&P landscaping 60's, 50's and 55's: Pete Fowler, Montgomery Swarm,Dixie, and Southern Hurricanes. One 45/over team has also inquired. |
| Feb. 1, 2014 CurtfromKY 65 posts | Southpaw, do you know of any teams coming from the KY-TN area that might need a player? I have not played in this tourney before and would be interested in any info you could provide. I would be open to playing for others if needed also. I am 53. Contact me at hoopman37@yahoo.com or 270-519-0173. Thank you |
| Feb. 2, 2014 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | Curt did you get a hold of the Crystal 50 major team out of Hendersonville. I have a few friends that play with crystal I can give them your number to them. |
| Feb. 2, 2014 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Curt, no one from that area has been in contact yet. Most of the teams who enter my tourney do so the first two weeks of February, so there is still plenty of time. I have 12 spots left. |
| Feb. 2, 2014 CurtfromKY 65 posts | I do not have contact info for that team and would appreciate your help anyway you can. Thanks. I am also considering entering a team if I can get the interest. |
| Feb. 3, 2014 Lefty Men's 75 721 posts | Curt I gave one of the Crystal guys your phone number and he said he would pass it on to the coach. |

Joe, your profile does not reflect your e-mail address. I will double check my files. Normally, I do receive a number of contacts over the first two weeks of February.
