March Madness ( free event)

Arkansas rules different than national rules.

Head first slide is legal with any helmet except a fully masked helmet.

International tiebreaker rules in Arkansas- bases loaded with 1 out. Last 3 batted outs will go to the base path. 1st batted out to 3rd, 2nd to second, 3rd to first. 

Pick up players must not wear another team’s hat or uniform. A matching uniform must be worn or a blank shirt. 

Uniform numbers do not matter, if a player does not have a uniform number, first and last name must be used on the lineup. 

Time limits will be decided before each event by the site director. 

Only 3 pick up players will be allowed per team. Only 1 can be an out of class player. ( if a single a team is playing in a double A tournament all 3 can be AA OR TWO AA AND 1 AAA player can be added) 

Rosters will freeze May 15th. 

Classification- Grand Slam Arkansas will cross check with other organizations BUT we will make our own determination using our own methods on proper classification. State Director will have the final say.

Time limits will be determined by the site director. 

Gate fee- Free one day events- $15- Free two day event- $10- paid entry 1 day-$10- paid entry 2 day -$10. 8-11 year olds are $5 at all events.

There will be NO special request to play certain teams in pool play. 

Brackets will be split when the site director sees fit.

Frank Martin Sports Complex – Weather Policy

At Frank Martin Sports Complex, the safety of our players, fans, and staff is our top priority.

Lightning Delays

In the event of lightning within 10 miles of the complex, all games will be immediately delayed for 15 minutes. Each additional lightning strike within that 10-mile radius will reset the delay and add another 15 minutes to the timer.

Tournament Play

We will make every effort to complete pool play, as long as conditions remain safe for players, coaches, fans, and staff.

Park Entry and Safety

Please understand that all spectators and participants enter the park at their own risk. In the event of severe weather, delays, or evacuations, our priority is ensuring the safety of everyone at the facility.

During weather delays or evacuations, we must also ensure the safety of our staff. All gatekeepers and park employees will be removed from their stations and moved to safe areas.

Park Evacuation Procedures

If a full park evacuation is required:

• All spectators and teams must exit the park immediately.
• Once the park is cleared, all gates will be locked.
• The gates will remain locked until the park officially reopens.
• Please keep your wristbands on, as they will be required for re-entry when the park reopens.

Our goal is to ensure the safety of everyone at the complex at all times. We appreciate your cooperation and patience during any weather-related situations.
