Tournaments that the WBSA Select teams will be signed up for will include NCS, Five Tool, PAC, Small Town Select, IBT, Premier Prospects and Perfect Game.
Tournaments are two day tournaments with two (2) "pool" games played on Saturday and "bracket" games being played on Sunday.
Pool games on Saturday determine the placement of your team for the bracket play on Sunday. The better your team plays in pool games the easier the road is to the "ship" on Sunday.
Bracket play on Sunday could possibly intel as many as four (4) games depending on how big the tournament is and how far your team advances. However, lose a game on Sunday and the tournament is over for your team and you go home.
