-----------------------------

  • We utilize our drop down format whereas all teams will receive seven games (weather permitting) and champions will be crowned in four to five levels of play - Platinum, Diamond, Gold, Silver, and Bronze (format may be altered dependant on the number of teams entered). All rostered players from all teams will receive an award of some type as long as they are present at the awards ceremony. We will not give awards to coaches for players not present and we will not ship any awards.

  • All teams must supply two new balls per game.

  • Early withdrawal: Any team pulling from the event for any reason, after your entry has been received will forfeit your entry ... no exceptions.
  • Special Start Requests: Before entering the AAYBA World Series, make sure your team has no other conflicts during the scheduled dates. AAYBA cannot guarantee any special game time requests! Local teams especially, we cannot and will not schedule you only in the evening. Teams need to be prepared to play at the first scheduled game of the tournament and any time throughout the day until the last game of the tournament. For those of you with more than one child participating and for coaches and managers coaching more than one team ... we cannot guarantee that your teams won't be playing at the same time. Managers, be sure to have another coach ready to cover you in case your teams are playing at the same time.
  • Registration: AAYBA will not reserve any spots in any tournament without full payment. To register and pay you must complete the online registration process - upon completion of registration you will be prompted to print a hard copy of the tournament application. This application has the mailing address for AAYBA as to where to mail your check. We do not accept credit cards. Teams that register online prior will have their spot held for seven days which will enable you ample time to mail your check. However, as the tournament comes closer to filling even registering online won't hold your spot as other teams may be in the same situation and their check may arrive first. Don't delay get your entries in ASAP.
  • World Series schedules will not be available in advance .... Schedules will be distributed to all managers at check-in and be available online the evening prior to check-in.
  • Click here to download a copy of the AAYBA Rules and a roster/waiver form.
  • Each team must also present "proof of insurance" listing AAYBA as an additional insured. I assure you this is required by all National events and the additional insured is quite common. A copy of your insurance certificate will be required at check-in. You are free to purchase insurance from any company of your choice. However, we highly recommend Chappell Insurance Agency. Their rates are quite competitive and the insurance covers you for all events that you play in for a twelve month period.

 

All teams must present one of the following for age verification:

  • Original government issued Birth Certificate
  • Government issued "Certified Copy", with government seal
  • Original passport
  • Original USA immigration card
  • Original Military issued ID card (issued by the appropriate Department of Defense)
  • World Series Lodging: For our AAYBA World Series - Texas, teams are not required to stay in our sponsoring hotels. For scheduling purposes all teams are considered in town either as a local team or an out of town team staying in a local hotel. Therefore all teams must be prepared to play when scheduled which includes rain schedules. We will not schedule around travel time for those commuting from more than hour hour away.

    For the AAYBA World Series in Flower Mound, Texas teams are free to book their lodging on their own. We don't require teams to book through AAYBA for this event. We would however, appreciate you patronizing our "sponsoring" hotels. For a complete list of these hotels please click on the link below:

    SPONSORING HOTELS FOR THE 2009 AAYBA WORLD SERIES IN TEXAS

    For those of you booking hotels for your team, we encourage you to book early since there are a limited number of rooms available at each hotel, and we are expecting an extrememly large turnout for the tournament.

  • Adverse weather or rain: AAYBA may play in adverse weather conditions. However, our format may be changed to lesser time limits or less innings only to complete the tournament. Coaches and players accept these conditions when entering tournament.
  • Entry Fee: The entry fee for all 2009 AAYBA World Series events is $695 for a seven game format.
  • The paygate for the AAYBA 2009 Open World Series in Flower Mound, Texas is $35 per adult for a weeklong pass if purchased at check-in and $40 if purchased at the gate. The daily admission fee is $10 per adult per day. Children 15 and under are free.
  • AAYBA does not guarantee the number of teams however, we expect all age groups to fill long before the entry deadline which is two weeks prior to the start of the event. In the 9U, 10U, 11U, 12Uand 13U we will accept 64 teams per age group. The 14U will close at 32 teams and we will accept 32 teams in our 8U age group.

TEAM TRADING PINS

Team trading pin exchanging has become almost as popular as the event itself. If you don't already have a supplier of pins we suggest that you contact the provider listed below. We don't schedule a time and place for team exchanging as we have found the kids much more enjoy "trading on the fly" ... before and after games, at the hotel, opening ceremonies, etc. Depending on which location you are attending (Texas, Missouri, or Colorado), your age group can be anywhere from 24-64 teams per with multiple age groups competing during the same week. You decide how many to purchase.

Managers ... don't overlook this as something unnecessary - YOU WILL REGRET IT! Moms get angry when 95% of the players get to participate in something that their child does not. The majority of teams will take part in pin trading. One more word of advice, purchase extra pins for the players brothers and sisters. They will keep themselves busy and out of moms hair.
