Here is a link to book hotels if needed.:https://secure.thsweb.com/Event.php?TournamentID=6695&Cid=1&RceId=0
This tournament is a five-game guarantee for 16U and 17/18U (weather-permitting), afour-game guarantee for 14U and 15U (weather-permitting), and a three-game guarantee for 13U division (which is a three-game guarantee).
The tournament is geared towards older teams. There will be 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, and 17U/18U divisions. I encourage teams from anywhere in the country (and Canada) to enter this tournament!
Matt Sandles is the tournament director. Matt was the head coach of the highly-successful 18U Michigan Jets for five years and this will be his seventh year running tournaments.
The idea behind the tournament was to bring a competitive end of summer "World Series"-type event to the Metro Detroit area that would draw teams, college coaches, and pro scouts from all over. Unlike most tournament directors, Matt plans to focus his energy on this one tournament in order to make it the single best event that the state of Michigan has to offer on a yearly basis going forward. This tournament is a five-game guarantee for 16U and 17/18U (weather-permitting), a four-game guarantee for 14U and 15U (weather-permitting), and a three-game guarantee for 13U division (which is a three-game guarantee).
Please fill out our Online Registration Form to register for the tournament! It is located near the top of this page on the right side. Payment information is on the Registration Form.
The Twitter handle is @MotorCityClassi (twitter.com/MotorCityClassi).
The approach combines several concepts.:
1. Location - I want this tournament to be very accessible for teams in the Metro Detroit area but strongly encourage teams from all over the country (and Canada) to join us. I plan to use quality fields that are primarily located in Oakland, Wayne, Macomb, Genesee, Livingston, and Washtenaw Counties.
2. Effort - I plan to e-mail a schedule and rosters to every college coach in the country. In addition, by focusing our attention on this one event, this tournament will get the attention it deserves. This includes social media promotion, recruiting a wide variety of teams, communication with coaches, etc. Over 400 pro scouts will be made aware of the event as well.
3. Quality Umpires - I will be very selective when choosing experienced umpires for this tournament.
4. Quality awards - There will be individual awards and a team award for the Champion and Runner Up in each age group.
5. Accessibility - The tournament director will be very easy to contact. You should have no problem reaching a tournament director with any questions.
