Rules

Only complete teams registered for the Spring 2021 season in either McKinney Baseball and Softball Association (MBSA), Plano Sports Authority (PSA), Frisco Baseball & Softball Association (FBSA), Allen Sports Association (ASA), or Prosper Baseball & Softball Association (FBSA) may participate.
Teams must play in the assigned division for their MBSA, PSA, FBSA, ASA, or FBSA division (i.e. no "playing down" trophy-hunting)
If a team has played in a select/travel tournament, it is not eligible to play in this tournament. It is only for rec teams playing in these rec leagues only.
No guest players are allowed!
Space is limited. First come, first served.
Note for MBSA Teams: This tournament does not impact your players' statuses as "select" players.

Two Pool Play games determine seeding.
The top seeds from each city will meet in Bracket Play, and medals will be awarded for 1st and 2nd place within each division.
The lower-seeded teams will compete against similarly seeded teams during Consolation Play.
Wear your regular MBSA, PSA, FBSA, ASA, and PBSA uniforms and team names.

Baseball will play under USSSA Gameplay Rules, except as listed on this CollinCountyClassic.org site.
Game balls will be provided at each field
Home team for each game is already defined in TourneyMachine Note: In Bracket Play, the higher seed (i.e. the lower number) will be the home team.
5 runs max per inning in Coach Pitch-12u, and 7 runs max per inning for 13-14u and older.
Mercy rule applies to all games: Coach Pitch-12u: 11 after 4 innings, 6 after 5 innings; 13-18u: 15 after 3 innings, 12 after 4 innings, 10 after 5 innings, 8 after 6 innings.
No pitch count or pitching innings will be tracked (please be smart)
The game's final score will be the score when the umpire determines the game is over. For example, if in a 9u game the visiting is up 5-4 after 3 innings, and they score 5 runs in the top of the 4th, and then time expires before the home team completes their at-bat in the 4th inning, the final score is 10-4 because the home team can't catch up due to the 5-runs per inning maximum.
All teams should be ready to start playing 15 minutes prior to their scheduled start time so that games can start at the time scheduled (no extra warm-up period).

1 hour 15 minutes (Coach Pitch)
1 hour 30 minutes (9-10u)
1 hour 45 minutes (11-12u)
... or 6 innings whichever comes first
1 hour 45 minutes (13-18u) or 7 innings whichever comes first
Extra innings (in Bracket Play only): if the score is tied after time expires, follow the following tie breaker rules:
The new inning shall begin with the last player to have an official at-bat in the previous inning on 2nd base to start the new inning with no outs, balls, or strikes. Repeat this scenario when the home team bats. The game shall be played until conclusion of a winner.

Pool play seeding is determined by a committee from multiple cities attempting to mix up upper and lower teams in the standings.
After pool play, seeding will be determined and brackets for Sunday will be set.
Seeding Tie breaker: Head-to-Head (if applicable), Run Differential, Runs For, and then Runs Against
Forfeits: The forfeiting team will reflect a loss and the benefiting team will reflect a win, but no score will be entered. The average runs scored and allowed will only be taken from the pool game(s) that were actually played.
