DO NOT let an umpire tell you they are stopping a game within 5 minutes of the time limit. Stop the plate meeting or when you are told this immediately and call for a director. We can't help you after a game ends.
Protest fees are $300 - No exceptions. For protest of players not on the roster or illegal age or any other player eligibility question, the protest must be initiated from the 1st pitch of the game to before the 1st pitch of the 2nd at bat of the player who is being protested. Once a player has had 1 pitch thrown to him of his second at bat, he is no longer eligible to be protested. Any other protest that isn't a player eligible protest, must be done between the first pitch of the game and end of the game(unless the last out of the game causes a protestable situation,in this case the coach who wants to protest must call it to the umpires attention before they leave the field).You get the $300 back for a successful protest.
Entry fee must be paid before your 2nd pool play game begins. Game will NOT begin until the entry fee is paid.
Online Payment option will be turned off Friday at midnight. We will NOT take online payments once the event starts.
You can pay your entry fee any time via Venmo @GrandSlamMS or CashApp $GrandSlamMS
