With the 2012 Tournament quickly approaching, we are now inviting teams who participated in the 2011 tournament to register!
During the reserved registration time - prior year teams are given priority to Saturday only games, as well as the opportunity to request specific game times. Before the game times have been set - this is your opportunity to put in for special requests. While we may not be able to allow teams to schedule each of their 3 games to the minute, we will be able to come close! But fair warning - this will only be possible for the first handful of teams that register!
If you would like to register your team (and played in last year's tournament) you can call Brandon Hahn at 248-334-2187. You should also feel free to email us at softball@gracecentersofhope.org with any questions regarding the tournament.

2012 Tournament
As we receive feedback from the poll questions (left), some of the results have us curious. So for those of you who feel that the tournament is "good, but needs improvement":
What areas need improvement? What would you tweak or adjust about the tournament?
And what about the design of the tournament; what would you keep the same or change with the round robin games, seeding and/or playoffs?
Or maybe there's something else that you would like to comment on - something you noticed should be different. Please let us know by commenting on this post (and feel free to do so anonymously!) with your thoughts and suggestions! We'd like to open this up to everyone!
Thank you for your feedback!

2011 Softball Tournament Round Robin Results

Hello to everyone who participated, helped organize or simply attended our 4th annual Softball Tournament! The below images are results from all the round robin games - playoff detail to follow soon!
Here (left) are the results from the tournament Round Robin games played - each of the 28 teams played 3 games on Friday evening and Saturday morning/afternoon, which was a total of 42 games to determine the top 8 teams that would advance to the single elimination playoffs!


Division Standings
The divisions would look like this (below) after all the preliminary games had finished:
6 of the 7 divisions had a clear dominant team with a record of 3-0 after the round robin games.
However the Southwest Division was up for grabs right up to the final game - and the last divisional game between Zion & Holy Rollers Painting would determine the team to receive a playoff birth.
Team Rankings (Entire Pool)
With many teams tied with a record of 2-1, the determining factor for the wildcard team would look at the number of runs allowed, and when we rank the teams based the number of wins and number of runs allowed, the complete rankings would look like this...

There were several teams with a record of 2-1, hoping to earn the wild card spot in the playoffs. The final games would have to finish before a clear wild card team could be determined. As you can see from the rankings above - it was a matter of 3 runs that separated the wild card team from the next closest team.
Playoff results to follow shortly!
