Event Description

Tournament Information:

In 2016, we introduced the Amateur Baseball Championships (ABC), one of the nation’s premier summer events. The ABC has been widely successful since the introduction of the event. Last year, there were over 190 16u teams across multiple divisions. In 2024, this event will see 128 (invite-only) teams, making it one of the top 16u events nationwide. 

This 5-game guarantee will begin Thursday morning (7/17) and culminate with bracket Monday (7/21). Teams will start in pools of 4. All teams will play 3 pool play games Thursday/Friday before being re-seeded into either a Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze division, based on pool performance. Teams will each play 2 more games in secondary/pod play on Saturday/Sunday. Each platinum, gold, silver, and bronze pod winners will advance to a single elimination, winner take all bracket! Bracket Play for ABC Seeds will be determined by Pod Winners of Secondary Pods (Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze).  They will be seeded based on all 5 games. I.E. a 5-0 Team will be seeded higher than a 4-1 team.
