Halloween Bat Fest
It's time for the 3rd Annual Halloween Bat Fest!!
Lucas Edington with Mossy Oak Properties Mozark Realty, and Lance Inman with the SLAMA Softball Club are proud to announce a Coed softball tournament to raise awareness and benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Poplar Bluff.
This will be a Halloween themed Coed softball tourney. Let's all dress up in our favorite scary costumes or super heroes. Super kid friendly atmosphere. This will be a good time had by all!!
Each year (2014, 2015) we were able to achieve our 12 team goal. This meant 3 pools of 4 teams each, 3 fields going at once, each team gets 3 games in pool play, and after pool play, we will have a single elim tourney for champion. So everyone is guaranteed 4 games at least if we hit our 12 team goal. This year I want 16-20 teams and to use all 4 softball fields. This is a great event and we had a tremendous showing from the softball community last year, all to show support and promote the Boys and Girls Club of Poplar Bluff!
The format for the Coed teams will be a true 5 guy/ 5 girl split. You may bat 6/6, but the batting order must alternate male-female.
Homeruns will be limited to 3 per team. Homerun bracelets that do not count towards team total will be available for purchase for $10 per player before your first game.
You will provide your own softballs, hit any optic yellow 44/400 or lower compression/core softball. Men will hit 12", and the women will hit choice of 11" or 12" softballs. ALL SOFTBALLS HAVE TO BE ON THE STATE APPROVED LIST........This means no Thunder Advance and Apex balls of any kind!
Run rule will be 15/3, 12/4, 10/5
Height limit will be 6-10 feet arch
Mat ball strike zone, LARGE MAT..........Batters better be swinging!
