Fall Slam: 14U, 16U and 18U Wrap Up!

We want to thank you for your participation in the Fall Slam.

What a great day at the ball field today! We got to enjoy some sun, beautiful weather, a TON of talent, and some really great games. Congratulations to all teams, I hope you enjoyed your day at the Fall Slam as much as I did!

The final results are as follows.. 


14U Champions - 3P Lady Irish 2K10

14U Runners Up - Lady Dukes - Bernal


16U Champions - Michigan Batbusters Goodrich

16U Runners Up - Ohio Hawks Welch


18U Champions - Finesse Frank

18U Runners Up - Lady Irish 18U Baldwin


We also want to take this time to remind you about our indoor tournaments, which offer great competition.  You can check out the details of each event, and when you click on "register", it will take you to the TourneyMachine page where you can also see a list of teams registered.  

If you haven't played in the winter with us before, we run games on a strict time schedule. Games start and stop on the horn, except for the championship game in each division, which is "finish the inning".  

The Valentine's 50 is our signature event. We'll have 100 teams, playing 24 hours a day, using 2 domes (about 1 minute from each other).  The older kids play the overnight hours with the younger teams playing much more normal hours.  It's a great event with fantastic competition.  We hope to see you there.

FALL SLAM - FIRST PITCH

 Coaches,


First some good news.. the trophy shop pulled a miracle and got someone else to come in an and finish our awards!  So we will have awards for the weekend!  

Just a couple of last minute reminders...  

  • You can turn in your roster & insurance tomorrow, OR you can email those forms to tournaments@nwoladyirish.com. 
  • There is a 30 minute break between the final round of pool play and the final round.  
  • Please make sure you submit your scores immediately following each game.  I know you'll be prepping for the next game, but having scores will help us prepare for the final round in a timely manner.  
PLEASE SEND SCORES TO (419) 540-2136

FALL SLAM TROPHIES / SHIRTS

 Coaches,


I just found out that unfortunately the trophies/awards will NOT be ready in time for this weekend.  Due to an unexpected illness at the facility that makes our awards, they are behind.  Hopefully, the person who makes the awards will be back next week and she'll complete the trophies promptly.  I'll deliver and/or ship the awards as soon as they are ready.  

I'll try to have some "stand-in" awards for the championship ceremony and pictures, I'll just have to recover those and use for each presentation.  

My sincere apologies for this.  I don't think it's ever happened at one of our tournaments before, so I can't be upset with the situation or the performance of the company that does the awards, nor illness.  But I'm certainly disappointed.  


Tournament shirts that were pre-ordered will be ready for pick up at the tournament HQ.  We will have a few extra shirts for sale at the tournament HQ as well.  

Thanks!

2024 Fall Slam Update

9/5/2024 (2)

Coaches, the Fall Slam schedule for 14U, 16U & 18U is live on TourneyMachine. 

Please check for any errors. 


Please note - due to the odd number of teams in the 14U & 16U divisions, one team will play 4 pool play games.  That means that for the championship round, the winners of the 5 v 6 matchups should play the 7 seed.  The downside to this... That means one team in each division will play 5 total games and if the 5 or 6 seeded teams happens to be the teams that played 4 pool play games, they could end up playing 6 total games that day. I think that's too many for most in one day.  The other wrinkle is that if this happens, there may not be enough daylight to finish the last (5/6 v 7) game.

So what we're going to do, we'll play it out, everybody will get their pool play games and we'll proceed to the 1v2, 3v4 and 5v6 matchups.  The 7 seeds will NOT play in the final round.  If the 7 seeds are the teams that played 4 pool play games, no worries.  If the 7 seeds did not play 4 pool play games, we'll offer them a $55 refund.

Coaches, we are about 2 weeks from FIRST PITCH!  We're looking forward to a great weekend.  

We still have just a few openings

10U - 4

12U - 1

14U - 1

16U - Sold Out

18U - Sold Out

It's been brought to my attention that the payment system is a little confusing.  So for those of you who still need to make a payment, we have modified the payment process to make it easier for you.  

When you click on PAY ENTRY FEES AND GATE FEES, you'll be directed to a credit card link.  All you have to do is select "0" as quantity for what you are not paying.  The system will automatically populate "1" for each item.  So if you are paying your team fees and gate fees for a 12U team, simply change the quantity to "0" for the 8U fees.  Hope this is much easier.

After your registration, you can simply return to the website and click PAY ENTRY FEES. 

FALL SLAM WEBSITE

This is what I have a record of for payments.  If I don't have your marked and you believe you have already submitted your payment, please let me know here.  PAYMENTS

Just under a month from first pitch! I know teams are forming and you're still collecting payments.  However, I'd like to publish the schedule by Sep 1st.  If you can get your team entry fee and gate fee paid by then, I'll get the schedule published on time!  

You can pay your entry fee and gate fee on the website. All tournament info will be posted here!

When you get to the website, you can easily click to pay your team entry fee and gate fee.  


We're looking forward to a great tournament and we can't wait to see you in a few weeks. See below for tournament shirt apparel links, which is located on the website as well!
