Ans. It is a five field complex with covered grandstands and covered dugouts. Seven ASA National Tournaments have been conducted there. The ball park has been in existence for more than 50 years.

Will there be team results and information posted on the internet during the tournament?
Ans. Yes. This web site will be updated to provide names of participating teams, tournament scores, standings, pictures of the final five teams and other tournament information. Updating of tournament results may be slow at the beginning of pool play due to other more pressing matters. Once the tournament progresses into bracket play, updates will be posted following completion of each round of field play.

There will probably be some posting errors which are unintentional. A NICE email to the webmaster identifying the error and information about the error is all that is needed. The error will be validated and the web site will be corrected. No run differential greater than ten(10) runs will be posted for any game except for the the tournament championship game. This is the application of the internet ten(10)-run rule.

Fans will be provided an opportunity to write emails to their favorite teams, All emails will be posted on a bulletin board for everyone to read. NO personal emails unless you want everyone to read them. Visitors to the web site can also comment on the web site and the information provided. Again, NICE comments about the web site are always welcome along with constructive criticism.
