Open to any teams associated with any affiliation, the Chesapeake Cup tournament series will draw from a wide range of clubs and teams. We encourage out of area teams to participate.
Our Saturday/Sunday tournament format is pool play followed by single elimination bracket play. Tournament schedules will be uploaded Thursdays. For multi-event discount, must pay in full in advance. There is no gate fee for the Cup tournament series (except at La Plata and Great Mills sites), however in order to help keep tournament fees at a minimum we would ask that you please not bring any outside food or drinks, since we have a full service concession stand for all your needs.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the ballpark. For more information, e-mail jimc3534@verizon.net, telephone Jim Coffey at cell 757-342-2873.
