How this is calculated

How much of this is published

Fully published4 of 4

This organizer publishes all four terms facts, so the grade rests entirely on stated figures.

The four gradeable facts are the entry fee, the refund policy, the hotel requirement and the guaranteed game count. Anything the organizer leaves out is priced at the middle of its range rather than counted against them — most operators quote on application, and a grade that punished silence would be reporting our own missing data as their failing.

Attendee Rating

3.7/5

3 reviews · 100% would return

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Reviewers here averaged 3.2 out of 5. The published figure is 3.7 because a rating from a handful of reviews is pulled toward the directory average until there are enough of them to stand on their own — which is what stops one glowing review putting an event at the top of the table.

Coaches, managers, parents, players, officials and scouts who attended. Never the organizer.

Organizers may answer a review in public, and their responses are labelled and shown. They are excluded from every average, count and return rate here, so an operator cannot move their own rating.

What to expect

Six games for less than most events charge for four, on municipal diamonds with no hotel requirement. The operator is newer and reviews note the schedule arrives late; two of the four diamonds have no shade for spectators.

What a player gets seen doing

Not published

11 / 22 exposure points

The organizer publishes nothing about scouts, streaming, video or stats. That is normal for a house or in-season tournament and is not held against the event.

Not stated by the organizer

  • Scouts and college coaches attend
  • Showcase format
  • Advances to a championship
  • Games streamed
  • Game video for teams
  • Live stats and standings
  • Professional photography

Silence is scored as an unknown, not as a no. Nothing here is deducted for a feature the organizer simply did not mention.

  1. Six games, no hotel, hard to beat on price

    Jean-Philippe Bourassa · Coach · Laval Aigles 13U · attended 2026

    4/5

    Two hundred and twenty US a game with no stay-to-play is the cheapest real baseball weekend we have found in Canada. Diamonds are municipal and basic. The schedule came out eleven days before the event, which is late enough to cause problems for families booking time off.

  2. Value yes, organisation no

    Shauna McTiernan · Parent · Ottawa Titans 11U · attended 2026

    3/5

    Good value and my son got six games. But two diamonds have no shade at all and we sat in thirty-degree heat for four hours, and the canteen ran out of water on the Saturday. The umpires were good. The organisation around them needs work.

  3. Bilingual scheduling was appreciated

    Gaetan Rousseau-Lemieux · Team manager · Sherbrooke Expos 15U · attended 2025

    4/5

    Everything came in both French and English without asking, which is not always the case. Six games for 1780 Canadian is excellent. Field quality varies a lot between the four diamonds and you have no say in which you draw.
