USSSA Event Guidelines and Policies

Game Day Expectations

• Start Times: Teams must be ready to begin 15 minutes prior to their scheduled game time.
  • Example: For 8:00 AM games, the plate meeting is at 7:45 AM.
• Field Access:
  • No team members allowed on the clay during field maintenance.
• Warm-Ups:
  • Pitchers and catchers may warm up on the clay or warning track only.
  • Catchers must wear a helmet while warming up.
• Equipment Rules:
  • All bats must have the USSSA thumbprint — bats without the thumbprint will result in ejection of both the player and coach.
• Cheering & Noise:
  • Music must be clean and free of profanity.
  • Players may not bang on metal or aluminum while cheering.
• Tents:
  • All tents must be properly secured — no exceptions.
• Weather Delays:
  • In case of lightning or other weather issues, everyone must vacate the facility and seek shelter when directed.
• Rule Enforcement:
  • Teams (including spectators) violating rules are subject to ejection, forfeit, or suspension.
  • Coaches and managers are responsible for their entire team, including spectators — not USSSA.
  • Zero tolerance for arrogant or inappropriate behavior — violators will be removed without refund.

Rosters & Check-In

• Rosters must be complete and submitted online by the Friday before the event, including all guest players.
• Rosters will be locked Friday evening.
• A printed copy of team insurance must be presented at check-in.

Animal Policy

• The only animals allowed at events are trained service animals as defined by the ADA.
  • Emotional support animals, pets, and service animals in training are not permitted.
  • Under Florida Statute 413.08, emotional support animals do not qualify as service animals.
  • Those with trained service animals will be required to sign a waiver.
  • Violators will be removed without refund, and their team may be disqualified.

Note: This policy is strictly enforced.
No scooters, RipStiks, Heelys, skateboards, or similar items are allowed.

Uniforms & Jerseys

• All players must wear jerseys with unique numbers.
  • Use tape to alter duplicate numbers if necessary.

• Motorhome parking is NOT allowed.
• Payment options:
  • Check (payable to USSSA)
  • Venmo (3.5% processing fee)
  • Cash
• Tournament and gate fees may be paid together.
• Once a team confirms entry, withdrawal is not allowed without paying both the tournament and gate fees.

Weather Policy & Refunds

• In case of weather or unforeseen cancellations:
  • Credits may be issued, depending on the number of games played.
  • No credit will be given if 2 or more games have been played.
  • If the entire event is canceled, USSSA may retain up to 15% of fees to cover administrative costs.

Other Notes

• USSSA reserves the right to make tournament adjustments at any time.
