Nashville recording artist and songwriter Jessica Campbell
8:15- 8:30p Fireworks Display for all
Some other additional notes for
consideration as well:
Gift bag exchange—this
is a tradition at Nationals and we certainly plan to honor it for
those that want to participate. It especially is enjoyable for the
younger teams. As such, we’ll suggest that all teams in the 10u and
12u divisions may feel free to exchange gift bags with their first
pool game opponent prior to the game. In the 14u, 16u and 18u
divisions, we’ll leave this process as an option only for the teams
that choose to participate. Once the pool game schedule comes out,
if your team (in 14u, 16u or 18u) desires to exchange gift bags with
your first pool game opponent, we recommend that you shoot them a
quick email and verify that they would like to do the same. If they
do not, please let us know and we’ll keep a running list of teams
that do not have a gift bag exchange partner and we’ll pair you up
with a team that wants to participate.
Pin Trading—
This is another Nationals’ tradition and we certainly encourage
anyone that would like to participate to feel free to do so at both
Opening Ceremonies and throughout the week.
Pool games and schedule—currently,
our plan is to email the pool game schedule to all teams around July
12th or July 13th. Pool play games for all teams will begin on
Tuesday July 18th. Bracket play for all teams in this two pool,
double elimination format Championships will begin on Thursday July
20th. Pool play results will seed all teams into bracket play.
Gate passes—all
players will receive wristbands to wear throughout the event which
will cover their admission. Likewise each team will receive three
coaches’ wristbands that must be worn throughout the event for entry
as well. Anyone without a wristband will need to pay for admission
either with a weekly pass wristband or a daily pass wristband (no
exceptions) and must wear the wristband whenever at the park. Weekly
pass wristbands will be available on Monday (throughout the day near
the Team Check In tables), Tuesday and Wednesday (at the entry
tables near each group of fields throughout the park) and daily pass
wristbands will be available each day of the event (also at the
entry tables near each group of fields throughout the park). The
prices for the weekly and daily pass bands are as follows:
Weekly Pass: $25
Daily Pass: $8 each day
Children 10 and under are free of charge
Online score tracking
and more—Tennessee PGF will be
updating scores online throughout the event at our website (www.tennesseefastpitch.com)
in the Futures Championships section. We will also have specific
updates available via Twitter (@TennesseePGF). Because of its
immediate nature, Twitter will be our primary method of information
dissemination for all weather-related matters. Please make sure that
you and/or players on your team are following us on Twitter before
the event begins to assure that you stay fully updated. We will also
try to pass along updates via the website, but Twitter is much
faster. So be sure to set this up prior to the event beginning.
