The 2023 Lakeview Classic will be a 16-team wood bat tournament with a four-game guarantee. Registration will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Teams will be placed in four separate four-team pools. Home team will be decided by coin flip. Pool play games will take place Monday and Tuesday (June 26th & 27th) at four different fields around the Twin Ports Area. The medal round games will all be held at two different fields TBD on Wednesday June 28th. Seeding for those games will be taken from pool play record, head-to-head record, runs scored, and runs allowed. If there is still a tie after that, Head Coaches will arm wrestle at the nearest watering hole. Games will be 7 innings with a two-hour time limit. Rules will be governed by MSHSL rules (courtesy runners for P and C), except for an eight-run mercy and MLB extra inning rules. Tournament bracket will be forwarded upon completed registration, at which time no entry fees will be refunded. Turf and grass fields will be used, one of which only allows turfs – not molded or steel cleats – please bring ample footwear. Teams will also be expected to use wood bats, which will be readily available for purchase if players do not have their own. For game balls, please have a pearl for your SP each game and one new or lightly used ball for the umpire.
