As tournament hosts and tournament director's, it is your duty at the end of every night to report the scores of your games to the district staff so that we can update the brackets and website for all others to see. We have many people that check this website daily for tournament updates so it is vital that we get this information at the end of games every night. For Baseball scores, report them by text, email, or phone to Ryon McNeff, 217-257-2888. For Softball scores, report them to Scott Budke, 309-264-7845 or sbudke65@gmail.com by text, email, or phone call.

A Facebook Page has been set up for IL District 17 as
an additional way to relay information to Teams and Parents. We've
found that people will check their Facebook page several times a day but
are less likely to log into a website as often. |
We
will continue to post information at both locations. Even if you do
not have a Facebook account, you will be able to log in and read
information on the District Fan Page although you will not be able to
make comments. We would like our Fans to interact on the Facebook Page
and pass along information regarding teams and sites and even pictures.

You can almost guarantee that there will be rain or storms sometime in July when the post season tournaments are going on. It is important that the Players, Managers & Coaches, as well as the Fans understand the importance of Lightning Safety. Below are two handouts that have been provided by the Weather service. Please print out and take time to review. Let's keep everyone safe during this tournament season!
