 10U- Seed games will remain 65 minutes drop dead because that is how some in your age group already played. Elimination will be 1:15 finish the inning.

12U - Seed games will be 65 minutes drop dead. We have to do this so that you do not have crazy late championship games if the elimination games run behind. Elimination will be 1:15 finish the inning

14U- Seed games will remain 65 minutes drop dead because that is how some in your age group already played. Elimination will be 1:15 finish the inning. The 3 games that needed to finish with less than 35 minutes are scheduled for the end

VERY IMPORTANT NEW SANCTIONING/CHECK-IN PROCESS:

IF YOU HAVE NOT SANCTIONED YET FOR THE 22/23 SEASON, PLEASE DO SO ONLINE AT PLAYNSA.COM TODAY!  IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES, PLEASE TEXT CHRISTY RANDOLPH AT (727) 348-7301.  THERE ARE MANY NEW STEPS, SO PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY TO DO THIS.  THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE YOU PLAY YOUR FIRST GAME!

AFTER SANCTIONING ONLINE, YOU WILL HAVE TO INVITE YOUR PLAYERS’ PARENTS TO REGISTER THEIR PLAYER AND SIGN THE WAIVER ELECTRONICALLY (YOU WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A LINK TO SEND THEM TO MAKE THE PROCESS EASIER).  YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PARENTS HAVE COMPLETED THEIR PART AND THEN YOU WILL ADD THEM TO THE ROSTER.  YOU NO LONGER HAVE THE OPTION TO PRINT YOUR ROSTER, SO WHEN YOU CHECK IN ON SATURDAY, THE SITE DIRECTOR WILL PULL UP YOUR ONLINE ROSTER AND VERIFY IT WITH YOU.  ANY PLAYERS NOT ON ELECTRONIC ROSTER THAT ARE PLAYING WITH YOU THAT WEEKEND WILL NEED TO BE ON A GUEST PLAYER FORM (SEE BELOW BY SEEDING SCHEDULE).  YOU WILL ALSO HAVE TO SHOW PROOF OF INSURANCE AS THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT CURRENTLY.  YOU CAN SHOW A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR CERTIFICATE OR BRING A PAPER COPY (WE NO LONGER HAVE TO KEEP IT). AGAIN, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH ANY OF THIS PLEASE TEXT CHRISTY RANDOLPH AT (727) 348-7301 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

ALSO REMEMBER:

*THE NSA RULEBOOK REQUIRES TEAMS TO KEEP A PAPER SCOREBOOK.  YOU MAY STILL USE GAMECHANGER, BUT IF A DECISION HAS TO BE MADE, ONLY THE PAPER SCOREBOOK WILL BE CONSIDERED.
