Softball Weekend Saturday games are from 7am to 9pm and Sunday from 7am to 7pm at Batch Fields. Please no alcohol at the fields, any individual with alcohol at the field will be disqualified and any team with a beer can or alcohol in the dugout will be disqualified.
The softball schedule takes into consideration those teams who requested not to have any games until after 5 p.m. on Saturday and those teams who wanted to play against each other or did not want to be scheduled at the same time as another team.
No more request can be made at this point as the schedule has been created.
Drop Dead Rule
Drop Dead Rule with a 55 min time limit per game. - A horn will sound the start and the end of the game time. Games called on time will revert to the score at the last full inning completed. Unless the team that is batting second in the inning has a score that has tied or passed the team that batted first in the inning. If the game is tied when the horn sounds or when we revert to the top of the last completed inning then a tie score will be reported in the standings.
Scoring
Score is kept by the Umpire so you must check in with him every inning to make sure the score is correct. It is the responsibility of the umpire to bring the scorecard to Patrick Harris at the end of the game. We will use these scorecards to determine who moves forward to Sundays Playoffs.
Why the $100 Registration Fee?
Here is a break down of the cost for the Softball Weekend Tournament:
- $1,800 for food for the weekend
- $400 for pop/water
- $500 for the fields
- $1,700 for umpires costs
- $600 for Equipment: Bats, Balls, First Aid Supplies, Trophy and printing of all the material.
- $2,000 for Security for the weekend
Total = $7,000
We hope to get 40 teams at $100 each = $4000. This will still not cover the expenses above. We will be short by $3000.
For your $10.00 (or less if you have more than 10 people) you will play 3 games at the least = $3.33 a game. You will also get all the food and drink you want.

Softball Weekend for current Carroll students only
We have had both questions and complaints about non Carroll students playing on last year’s teams:
Everyone who plays on your team/listed on your Roster must be a current Carroll student. Any team having a non-Carroll student or employee on their team will not be allowed to play. Rosters will be checked before the weekend begins and teams having non-Carroll students will not be added to the schedule. All teams making it to the Sunday playoffs games will be double checked to make sure only Carroll students and employees are on the team. If your team plays against another team who has a non-Carroll player then you can ask for a forfeit and you will automatically win the game. This is an event for current Carroll Students only.
NO EXCEPTIONS
