WHAT ARE THE AREA CODE GAMES?: Regional teams are composed of players from their respective area codes to compete in the tournament for bragging rights of who is number one.
DO TEAMS PRACTICE?: Yes, practices are permitted if coaches and parents can agree on a practice schedule. We understand that many parents, coaches, and players have busy schedules. If a parent chooses not to have their child practice with the team due to scheduling conflicts, it will not negatively impact the player's standing or playing time.
UNIFORMS: Each player will receive a fitted hat, two jerseys, a Hoodie, an Area Code ring, and a bag. After registration, the order will be processed, and parents can pick up their child's uniform on Friday at their assigned location. These items will also be available for pickup throughout the weekend. All players must wear white knickers or white pro-style pants with a belt and a pair of socks that match their uniform colors.
HOME & AWAY JERSEYS: Home and Away teams are predetermined by the schedule. Black jerseys are for the home team, and pink for away.
DIAMOND KAST: Perfect Game employees will manage DiamondKast. This is a critical factor for determining individual awards.
POOL PLAY GAMES: Some age groups will have an uneven number of teams, requiring one or two teams to play four pool play games instead of three on Friday or Saturday. To balance this, teams playing four games can drop their worst result when determining Sunday's seeding.
SKILLS REGISTRATION: Skills registration is optional. Please register online
skill registration here from now until November 10th. On-site registration will not be available.
COACHES GEAR: Head coaches and assistant coaches will each receive a hat. Coaches may wear their travel team's t-shirt and shorts.
PANTS, SOCKS & BELTS: All players must wear white knickers or white pro-style pants with a belt and a pair of socks that match their area code uniform colors.
HOME & AWAY FROM BRACKET PLAY: Higher seeds will be the home team during bracket play. For pool play, home and away teams are predetermined by the schedule.
