Each team manager is expected to pay this online through their USSSA Manager Account prior to the event. This allows admission for the weekend for all parents, grandparents, siblings and any other spectators that will be attending the event.

Each complex will open 90 minutes before the first game of the day and all diamonds will be unlocked at least 60 minutes prior to the first game of the day.
