The tournament will follow both a round robin and pool play format, guaranteeing each team at least three games. Team awards will go to the top two finishers and tournament pins will be awarded to each player and coach.

Noble Creek Park has become somewhat of a state of the art facility for such events. It features nine groomed ball fields, a working snack bar and scorekeeper platforms at each field.
