This year the annual event is planned to be one of the best, with teams been invited from abroad once more
With the help of our governing body the BBF/BSUK, we are planning to have a feast of baseball action and attractions for all.

The competition will be for up to 16 teams, playing over the 2 days.
Day 1 will decide the top 8 teams who will progress to 2 groups and compete in the main tournament on Day 2.
The remaining 8 teams will compete for the Frank Brady trophy to find a winner also on Day 2.
All teams are guaranteed 2 complete days of the most competitive baseball.
Official ABUA-GB umpires will be using the tournament as one of their clinics and will be officiating the games on both days on several diamonds.
NOTE: Teams though will be expected to supply a person to help out with some umpiring of games when not in competition.
On Day 1 game balls are to be supplied by the team drawn at home, on Day 2 game balls where possible will be supplied by the tournament organizers.
Entry cost is £140
Refreshments and a beer tent will be situated close to the main enclosed diamond.
A Tom bola and a stall featuring baseball goods will be situated in the beer tent, there's always a great chance to win a special prize
Games will start at 10 am Saturday and 9 am Sunday, with play concluding about 6pm on the Saturday, and the final finishing at 5:30-6:00pm on the Sunday.

Saturday evening after the games there will be a HOME RUN DERBY involving players from teams entered in the tournament
