If that team still desires to play, a $25.00 late fee will be applied and the entry fee MUST be received before Tuesday night of the event in order to play. Teams that register late for an event will now be subject to the entry fee plus $25.00 late entry fee charge in order to play. It too must be received by Tuesday night in order for that team to play. Entries MUST be mailed to PO Box 7838 Roanoke VA 24019. This rule apples to ALL teams, no exceptions. In order to withdraw from an event, a team MUST email Scott or Mike 7 days prior to that event. We appreciate those that followed our policies for the past several years, however, since the growth of the program we need to continue to protect the integrity of the program and teams playing. This policy should assist with teams not showing up and leaving others left out. Please be sure to follow this procedure!

Hotel Reservations
We have been asked by local areas to have teams stay near the complexes they are scheduled to play in when possible. Economic impact information for events is measured each week and one of the biggest ways is thru the number of "heads on beds" in the each county area. Please complete the check in form for each event in detail. Thanks for the efforts.
USSSA Jewelry Policy Update
Roanoke USSSA will follow the National USSSA policy effective immediately. Coaches will be warned at the home plate meeting to remove all jewelry. If a player is found to have any on during the game, play will be stopped and the items will be removed. Play will resume immediately. NO player ejection will occur.

USSSA Team Classifications
Coaches: When registering your team thru the national site, please keep in mind the following for classification questions. All Roanoke USSSA events are sanctioned Open and AA. Teams may be combined to make an event work in certain age classes, we try to keep all classed teams paired together when available. We guarantee 3 games each weekend and last year we were able to do 4 games to each team most weekends--depending on field availability. (It is harder at the 14u and above class unless we play a 4GG Round Robin Format.) We will continue to do the same this year. Be sure to note the Roanoke USSSA Rewards Program as well.
Major-The most elite class, primarily made up of players from different areas, the best competition level; AAA- Extremely competitive class, typically a team here has won at least 2 event in the same season, roster made up of players from different areas or a roster that has not changed very often, AA-this is the entry level class, rosters made up of area players from usually the same area or community. Majority of teams fall into this class. A-We do not have any teams playing in this class, Recreation-Teams comprised of recreational players.
