Tournament Rules & Information


Texas Tournament Baseball considers "rule" very seriously. We strive to provide each team with a fair tournament. All teams who register for a TTB tournament should read through the appropriate rules pages below AND the rules of the sanctioning body in order to gain a full understanding of all rules and procedures prior to the start of the tournament. If you have any questions, please contact us or locate your park director prior to the start of the game.

All tournaments will be 3-game minimum (weather permitting) unless posted on the schedule as another format.   Whenever possible, the tournament will consist of two pool games and a single elimination tournament. Pool games will typically begin on Friday night or Saturday Morning with the Championship game scheduled for Sunday afternoon.  Schedules will be made public on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning.

On occasion a tournament will exceed the number of fields at the "listed park."  In this case, we will do our best to seek alternate fields so everyone that wants to play can.  In doing so, please understand, those fields may be some distance from the originally listed park.   Some travel is part of "playing tournament baseball" and a we do not consider travel within the Metroplex a hardship.  Most facilities can handle 40-60 teams, with only a handful of facilities having the capacity to handle 80+ teams; therefore, if ANY tournament exceeds 40-60 teams, you need to be prepared to play in an alternate facility.  Our only other option is to cut registration and not allow a significant number of teams to play.  Unless undo hardship can be demonstrated (travel time is not considered a "undo hardship"), our refund policy WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT.

We reserves the right to change any or all of the these rules at any time.  Please review the tournament rules posted at each tournament for any additions, deletion or changes.

Texas Tournament Baseball has dedicate a lot of resources in automating as much of the registration and payment process as possible.  Every team must register online via our site or the USSSA website; however all online payments must be made through the Texas Tournament Baseball website. 

Teams that are PAID IN FULL will appear on Who's Coming list as CONFIRMED.  Only CONFIRMED teams will be scheduled.  Therefore, if you think you have paid and your team is still listed as UNCONFIRMED, you need to contact us as soon as possible.  As a general rule, we prefer credit card payments because those transactions are IMMEDIATELY credited to the teams account and CONFIRMATION is immediate.  Due to processing time, checks typically take several days to credit and post.  If division are filling up, DO NOT RELY on the USPS and checks, pay with a CC.

Unless otherwise stated, all registration fees must be paid in full 5 days (Monday) before the tournament begins.

Please review the refund policy before withdrawing from any tournament.

Please read our general park rules before coming to the park.  We HIGHLY SUGGEST looking online to see if the individula park has specific rules particular to that facility or city. NO DOGS (no matter the size) should be brought to the park.  In addition, many parks do not allow such thing as, cooler, totes, outside food or beverages, noise makers, etc.  Again, please check with the specific facility.

Unless outlined in our "Playing Rules", we will general follow the rules of the sanctioning body.  From time to time we may have to modify rules due to playing weather, playing condition or to accommodate certain local park rules.
