ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY:

Indiana USSSA has a zero tolerance policy for abuse toward all our staff which includes but not limited to directors, UIC'S, umpire, gate workers, vendor's and park staff. Any parent ejected from the game is ejected for the entire weekend. A coach ejection is for one game. If a second ejection comes in the same event, then that coach is ejected from the event. If these ejections occur during the last game, then they will be enforced at the next event regardless what USSSA event you play in.

   Rosters

   All roster must be on line, including any guest players you are using.

   Do not use a player that is on another team and add her to your roster by using a different name spelling       for her. This creates more than one player ID that we have to clean up and if caught during your event if         may remove her off your roster if we combine her ID's during that event which creates you using a player       that was not approved as a guest player.

    Any team using an illegal player in pool play will have to forfeit all games played and be placed last place      in the pool seeding. If the player is caught during bracket play, then your team will be forfeited out of the        event and placed last place in the tournament.

   The coach will also be issued a warning for using an illegal player, the second offense will we result in a         tournament suspension, while a third time may result in a year being suspended from all play.

Starting games early: No game shall start earlier than 15 minutes prior to start of game times. This includes any games in the state of Indiana. If teams are there and ready to play, then starting early is granted. 

Park addresses:

All park addresses are under the events. If you cannot find them email me at  [email protected]

Gate fees:

Most all facilities charge  GATE FEE  at the entrance which is CASH ONLY please do not be nasty with gate workers as they work for USSSA or the parks and are doing their jobs.

Each event you will be given armbands based on what you paid for. It is your job to put these on and wear them at all times during this event. Anyone caught sharing, passing out and giving their bands to someone else both parties will be subject to ejection for the weekend. If you lose your band, then you will have to buy another band.
