  • Format:

    • All Team Sport Competitions will be a Round Robin / Pool Play format with a minimum 3 Game Guarantee.
       

  • HOTEL INFORMATION:

     

  • Score Keeper:
    All teams are required to provide an official Score Keeper as part of their roster. We strongly recommend that the Score Keeper be an adult and must be present at each contest. The home team (which will be determined by a coin toss before each game) will be the official score keeper for that game with the visiting team also keeping score as a secondary or back up score book. The official Score Keeper will sit with the administration and volunteers at the scorer’s table or tent during the contest. The Score Keeper is now part of your roster and will be treated as a member of your team. The Score Keeper will be responsible for keeping track of pitch counts for both teams.
     

  • Forfeiture Policy: 
    Due to the fact that all competition brackets are ROUND ROBIN formats, a team may not intentionally forfeit a contest; even though the game may have no consequence on the seeding of the tournament at the conclusion of round robin play.  Any team intentionally forfeiting a contest will be disqualified from further competition and the remaining teams will be re-seeded.
     

  • ENTRY PROCESS:

  • To be considered for the Nutmeg State Games a team must submit a Team Entry packet that consists of the following:

    • A properly completed Team Roster.

    • A properly completed Coach’s Form.

    • Proof of age (copy of drivers license, birth certificate, passport or players passes) for each athlete.
