The tournament is qualifier for the Gopher State Tournament of Champions (GSTC) administered by Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (www.myas.org) and Minnesota Baseball Tournaments (MBT). Certificates will be issued to the first and second place teams at the conclusion of the tournament.

The tournament headquarters will be located at the Sandburg Middle School Fields (Sutton and Tapper) and we invite you to stop there for tournament updates (or call Steve at 612-382-5018). And if your players need a bit more motivation, bring them by to see the championship t-shirts awarded to the tournament winners. Again, thank you for joining us for this weekend of baseball.
