COMMUNICATION & CHECK-IN

Prior to the tournament, please direct any questions to Mark Heckman, Burnsville Tournament Director at btb.tournament@gmail.com or (952) 454-6965.
**During the tournament, Mark will field questions only from the site coordinators.
A site coordinator will be at every site wearing black and gold staff lanyards. Please check in with the site coordinator at least one hour prior to your first game. You can check in at the location where you have your first game. All questions during the tournament should be directed to your site coordinator.
WEATHER
In the case of rain, please do not leave the facility until the site director gives direction. The umpire may delay the game, but the tournament staff, along with the Cities of Savage and Burnsville will determine whether there will still be play or whether we are canceling for all or part of the day.
In the event of rain, whether a rainout or delay, we reserve the right to modify the tournament structure to complete as much play as possible. You can stay up to date via Tourney Machine for all weather updates.
