Welcome to East Tennessee, District 1, ASA.
Thank you to every coach,
player, and parent that attended any of the tournaments held in 2009. There will be some changes to the 2010 season
but only things that the majority of coaches have requested and things that will make the weekend be more enjoyable for
everyone involved.
The 2010 season schedule is posted. The tournaments will be held on the same weeks
as last year. New tournaments may also be added.
Information on upcoming tournaments,
sanctions, the national website, or anything you need to know about ASA softball in East Tennessee can be found here.
If you would like to sanction your team early I will give a discount. If you sanction by March 1st the
sanction fee will only be $20. Thereafter it will be $25. 
Tournament Schedule!!!
Most
tournament entry fees will be between $190-$220 depending on the format (all game balls will be provided). Some formats
will be 4 or 5 game guarantee. Play in four tournaments with me and the last tournament in September is only $50.
Enter more than one team per tournament, receive discount for each team entered.
If a third pool game is
offered (three pool), most of the "third" games will be played on Friday night. The third game will
not be counted toward seeding for bracket play unless Friday night's schedule is full. Friday night play is a must
when a 5 game gaurantee is offered and 25 plus teams are entered in the tournament. This will allow for more
time on Saturday and Sunday to play games at a 1 hour 15 minute time limit. The tournament director has the discretion
to change the format due to weather or if the Friday games can not be played due to lack of team participation on Friday.
There
will be a limit to the number of teams for each tournament. Generally there will be no more than 10 teams per age
division when playing Friday-Sunday and 8 teams per age division when playing Saturday and Sunday.
10U will not run
on a dropped third strike.
You will be allowed 12 batters on your lineup, any 9 playing the field.
If you have any questions or want to enter a tournament feel free to call me at 423-833-2915 or email at asaeasttn@embarqmail.com.
Thanks and see you soon,
Keith
