We are very excited about bringing back one of the largest tournaments from KC in 2009. Last year this event had 167 teams entered for this USSSA NIT. This will be held at Blue Valley where there are 23 fields to play this event on. Besides playing baseball there will be a dugout decorating contest, with a Hawaiian Theme. We will have a Spirit Contest that will include the players, coaches and parents getting involved.

For this event, there will be a gate fee charged at the door for games played at the Blue Valley Rec Complex. It will be $5 per day for adults, and $2 per day for kids (ages 5-16).

Contest Rules

Spirit Contest
Time/Day: All-Day on Saturday
Registration Required/Method: No. Your attendance is your registration.
Rules/Information: This contest involved everyone associated with your team. This will include involvement in the Dugout Decorating, Costumes, and overall Spirit. It will also include Costumes by players, coaches, and fans. Also taken into consideration is the "atmosphere" created by teams and their members.

Dugout Decorating Contest
Time/Day: 1st Pool Game on Saturday
Registration Required/Method: Registration is not required. Our judge will be scheduled to come to every team's 1st pool game on Sat.
Rules/Information: Teams are invited to decorate their dugout throughout the weekend in a Hawaiian theme. There will be a judge that will evaluate your dugout on multiple criteria (including: originality, use of props, consistency of theme, etc.) at one specified game. The only limitation should be your imagination. Teams will be notified which game they will have judged to allow them to go ALL OUT on that game.

What are the prizes for the Spirit Contest and the Dugout Decorating Contests?

Dollare value awards are certificates for future MSP events. Other prizes are listed. Awards will be determined by the order of finish:	Place	Spirit Contest	Dugout Decorating
	1st Place	Awards	$200 Certificate
	2nd Place	Awards	$150 Certificate
	3rd Place	Awards	$100 Certificate

What theme can/should we use?

Your theme can be anything you want to use. It should be consistent through your costumes and your dugout. I would give examples, but don't want to give anyone's idea away. Let your creativity go WILD!!!! If it is going to be extremely crazy or involved, contact us to be sure we can do it with the complex.

Is there a cost for any of the Activities (Contests, Fun Services, etc.)?

The contests are free. The only activities that will have a charge is the Fun Services. It is $5 for a bracelet for access for the entire time they are present.

Are Uniforms/Uniform Numbers Required? What are the rules on Costumes?

Uniforms and Uniform Numbers are NOT required. It may be a little more challenging on the scorekeeper, but the goal is to have as many creative costumes as we can get.
Costumes can be worn for the entire game. They are not required, as we do not want to limit the costumes, but want to be conscientious about safety. If you have extensive costumes that you will not play in, please be sure bench personnell (like coaches) are in costume so the Judge will see said costumes.

What are the Game MVP awards, and how do they work?

For each game of the pool play, teams will be provided with GAME MVP medals.  These medals are to be presented to the MVP player of the game from the opposing team. We ask that you speak with the coaches of the other team to avoid repeat awards of a medal to a player.  Example:  If a player gets a Game MVP medal during the teams’ first pool game.  Please choose a different player for their second game.
