In 2016, we introduced the Amateur Baseball Championships (ABC), one of the nation’s premier summer events. The ABC has been widely successful since the introduction of the event. Last year, there were over 150 15u teams across multiple divisions. In 2023, this event will see 80 (open) teams, making it one of the largest 15u events nationwide.
This 5-game, double pool play format, will begin Thursday morning (7/13) and culminate Monday afternoon (7/17). Teams will start in pools of 4. All teams will play 3 pool play games Thursday/Friday. Teams will then be re-pooled into either a Platinum pool, Gold pod, Silver pod, or Bronze pod. Teams will each play 2 more games Saturday/Sunday. Each Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze pool/pod winners will advance to a single elimination, winner take all bracket!
PLATINUM - 24 teams (20 pool winners, 4 wild cards)
GOLD - 16 teams (seeds 25 - 40)
SILVER - 20 teams (seeds 41 - 60)
BRONZE - 20 teams (seeds 61 - 80)
* seeds are based on pool placement *
Teams will play 2 games after being re-pooled. The Platinum division will consist of 8 pools of 3 teams. The Gold division will consist of 4 pods of 4 teams. The Silver and Bronze divisions will consist of 5 pods of 4 teams.
FOR DIVISIONS WITH PODS (Gold, Silver, and Bronze): Teams will play in a 4-team bracket where the winners of each pod's first 2 games will play each other to determine a 2-0 pod winner. The losing teams of the first 2 initial games will play each other in a consolation game. Only pod winners will advance to bracket play.
Bracket Play for ABC Seeds will be determined by Winners of Secondary Pools/Pods (Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze). They will be seeded based on all 5 games. I.E. a 5-0 Team will be seeded higher than a 4-1 team.
PLATINUM - 8 pool winners advance to bracket
