On behalf of the Town &
Country Youth Baseball League, we would like to thank all of you for
your cooperation & participation to help make this tournament the
tremendous event that it is! We sincerely appreciate everyone’s
involvement and look forward to your continued support in upcoming
years.
We wanted to take this opportunity to review some of the results
from the 2003 State Tournament, as well some of the changes that
took place.
2003 State Tournament Results:
Senior
League (11-12 yr. olds)
at Rochester
Champion Runner-up
Greentown Rochester |
Junior
League (9-10 yr. olds)
at Daleville
Champion Runner-up
Marion Rochester |
Minor
League (7-8 yr. olds)
at Mentone
Champion Runner-up
Walton Delphi |
New in ’03 –
Expanded Tourney Formats
In an effort to better balance the brackets & eliminate bye-rounds
at both the Semi-State & State levels of the tournament, a total of
eight teams will advance to each of those levels instead of six. The
four teams advancing from both the District & Semi-State levels will
then be seeded, with the winners (#1 seed) playing the #4 seed from
the other region, and the #2 seed playing the #3 from the opposite
region. We felt this change went extremely well and allowed a couple
more teams to extend their seasons.
Also, last year we embarked upon the inaugural Town &
Country-sanctioned Minor League (7-8 yr. olds) State Tournament.
This tournament proved to be very exciting and we look forward to
building it’s future into becoming a tradition-rich mainstay event
that is looked forward to each year like the older leagues. We ask
that each league take a strong look at participating in this
sanctioned event in future years.
Finally, as Nelson & I begin our final season in this capacity next
year, we welcome any interest in taking over the reigns of
leadership for the Town & Country Baseball League. Please inquire if
interested! We look forward to another great tournament! Good Luck!
