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

4.0/5

3 reviews · 67% would return

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

Reviewers here averaged 4.1 out of 5. The published figure is 4.0 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

Five games on turf infields in a March window that rarely rains out, and no hotel block. Pitch counts are tracked and published, which reviewers single out more than anything else. Priced at the top of the baseball set, and the bracket can put two games on the same afternoon.

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.

Attendee Rating 4.0 / 5

  1. Pitch counts published, which is rare

    Curtis Ballantyne · Coach · Ventura Surf 12U · attended 2026

    4/5

    Every pitcher's count went up on a shared board between games and the umpires enforced the rest rules without argument. That alone is worth entering for. Turf infields meant no delays after the Friday rain. It is expensive, and the bracket had us playing at 11am and 4pm on the Sunday with a two-hour gap that wasted half a day.

  2. Good weekend, no hotel nonsense

    Alina Petrosyan · Team manager · Pasadena Bulldogs 10U · attended 2026

    4/5

    Booking our own rooms saved us about four hundred dollars against the events that force a block. Facilities are the best we play on all year. Entry at 1895 for five games is still the most we pay, so we do this one and skip a second spring event.

  3. Great fields, thin communication

    Desmond Achebe · Coach · Long Beach Riptide 14U · attended 2025

    3/5

    The complex is excellent and the umpiring was fine. Getting a straight answer about the bracket format before we entered took three emails, and the final schedule landed six days out. For this money I expect the admin to match the facility.
