Grand Slam Sports Tournaments
Important Policies
The new playground & pickle ball courts at Flowood Liberty park is closed. The playground is still under construction and has tape around it. This hasn't seemed to fend off kids wanting to play on it. Please make sure your kids do not go to this playground, it is still considered a construction site.
Reminder: There are no Sunflower Seeds allowed at any park. That goes for players, coaches & spectators.
No outside coolers, food or drink allowed at Key City Park in Vicksburg!

GENERAL GAME PLAY RULES
For a complete list & explanation of Grand Slam MS rules, please click on the link below. These rules could vary from the rules on the Grand Slam Sports Tournaments website. The rules listed below in the event info are NOT all of the rules!! Click the link below!
Conduct -
Coaches, if we have to remove one of your fans from the complex, the head coach will also be ejected for that game. Fan will not be allowed to return for that event.
Any pattern of badgering of an umpire, other fans, coaches, players, directors, gate workers, etc...will result in being escorted from the park by the local PD. Coaches/Spectators, if you put your hands on an umpire/tournament staff, you will be prosecuted & vice versa for umpires/tournament staff to coaches/spectators. Tournament Directors have the discretion to have anyone removed from the park.
Event Rosters will be enforced. It's up to you to double check them & if you are having any issues you need to let us know. We encourage you to move players from "Pending" to "approved".
Players that show as "pending" are not ineligible.
7U & 8U time limit is 50 minutes
8KP time limit is 1:10
9U-12AA is 1:20
12 AAA is 1:25 on Saturday & 1:30 on Sunday & 13U is 1:30
14U time limit is 1:40
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.
We will provide baseballs for each game. However, teams need to be prepared to throw in game balls if the umpire runs out until we get more. Also, teams are responsible for retrieving foul balls & returning them to the field.
13U can only use -5 or -3 bats.
13U grade exception players playing down in 12U must use a -5 or -3 bat
14U can only uses -3 bats
14U grade exception players down in 13U must use a -3 bat
Pay attention to your post game score cards before signing. When you sign you are approving the score and all pitching records.

Head first slides are legal to any base unless a face mask, cflap, or chin strap is being worn. First offense is a team warning. The 2nd offense is an out. This only applies to ages 12 & under.

Grand Slam plays by National Federation High School rules...with the exception of rules listed here, Grand Slam MS Rules or corporate Grand Slam. State Directors have the discretion to modify corporate rules.
Always keep birth certificates on hand. Digital copies are allowed.
Teams who have players that meet the grade exception (hold back) must have a progress report, report card or letter from the school confirming current grade if challenged.

With over 220 teams registered, we have to use every park available.
Three divisions will be playing in the All Turf facility in Vicksburg.
Those three divisions are 10-A, 11AA, 13A.
We understand this isn't the most convenient for everyone playing but it is part of big events. We used it for Fall State & will also use it for Boys of Summer.
There are a few reasons these 3 divisions were chosen.
1. These 3 divisions fit there based on number of teams and field space.
2. Geographically for teams in this division, it involved the least amount of teams not as close to Vicksburg as the Jackson Metro is.
3. These 3 divisions were not chosen to play their for Fall State & will NOT be chosen to play their for Boys of Summer in May.
We wanted to give you as much heads up as possible so you could make arrangements.
Thank you for understanding & we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any questions or concerns, please make those known to your head coach & he can reach out to us with those.
NOTE: Local teams in the Jackson Metro will have the option to play Friday night depending on how many games we play Friday night. If you can, put that in your schedule request. Just note, just because you request it does not mean it will happen. Not all teams will be able to do this...that information will be available next week.
