Please read before registering your team.

Registration:

• Coaches will need to create a Exposure Events coaches account or sign in (if you already have an account with Exposure) before registering your team. This is to allow coaches to submit rosters in the Exposure Events app at least two weeks in advance before the tournament. If your roster isn't finalized, you can still register for the tournament now! Additional info regarding the roster process can be found below.
• Please select the skill division you wish to participate in. There's no guarantee that there will be separate skill divisions as this depends on the total amount of teams. Upper is more competitive compared to lower. 
  • For teams in the Red River Valley League only, once the registration deadline is finished, teams may get moved to another skill division to allow a more balance in teams. This rule may be disregarded if the number of teams do not allow for a change of skill divisions.
  • If you have an above .500 winning percentage in the American League (Competitive) or .750 in the National League (Recreational) you may get moved to the upper division.
  • If you have a below .500 winning percentage in the American League or .750 in the National, you may get moved to the lower division. 
• Registration is not complete until payment is received. Please submit payment with a credit card on our online registration form. If you cannot pay with a card, please email [email protected] for a registration form.
• If you're registering multiple teams for the same entry fee, please contact [email protected] and ask for a paper registration form. If you try using the same credit card, the processing system may not allow you to register multiple teams on the same day for the same price as it will, unfortunately, assume it's a duplicate transaction as a safeguard. Additionally, you can also wait 24 hours and complete the registration process again with the same card.
• If you are a ND team, you must be a registered team with your local organization. After registration has been submitted, we will confirm with the local organization to confirm your registration.

Roster Submission:

• Please submit the players first name, last name, birthdate, and jersey #. If you do not have this information, you can still complete the tournament registration now and come back and finish the roster requirement at a later date. Age charts can be found below.
• If your roster is finalized, you can submit this during the registration process.
• If you have already registered but still need to submit roster information, you will need to sign in with your coaches login ID and password used during registration.
• If you do not remember your login info, please reset your account password. If your youth program director registered you for the tournament, please contact them for login info or [email protected] to have your account linked to your personal email/team.
• If you have questions regarding entering your team roster after registration has been completed, please click here and follow the coach account info.
  

Pitch Counts:

• Rosters will be used for pitch count purposes. Pitch counts must be submitted for your team ASAP after each game. For info regarding how to submit pitch counts, please click here. Make sure you log in with your own personal coach login used during registration.
