HEY BATTER BATTER.......SWING BATTER
The Fernandez Family is excited to return for the 2nd Annual Alvis Fernandez Wiffleball Tournament on Sunday October 23, 2022 at Village Park Athletic Complex. Everyone had such a great time in 2021, we are looking for even bigger and better in 2022. Proceeds from the event will go to the 172 Fund at Boynton Beach Fire Department. We all know that Alvis was passionate about his family and baseball. Join us as we celebrate his love of baseball with his family for a day of fun, laughter, and a little competition on the baseball (wiffleball) field. We encourage your creativity and fun with the event by organizing team uniforms, wear crazy costumes, or anything that you feel would make the event fun. We will have food trucks available throughout the day at the event. Water, fruit, and snacks will be provided.
We have four divisions and each division has a maximum of 32 teams. Once a division is filled with 32 teams, registration will close for that division. Sign up early to secure your team in the tournament. You have the option to participate in a competitive division or just have fun in the non-competitive family division. We have four division options to choose from.
– Boys 15 and Under Competitive (Fast Pitch)
– Co-Ed 15 and Under Non-Competitive (Underhand Pitch)
– Men’s Competitive (Fast Pitch)
– Family Non-Competitive (Underhand Pitch)
All participants will receive a beautiful participants packet which includes an event shirt.

EVENT RULES:
1. A pre-set Strike Zone will be used to determine balls and strikes. Any pitch hitting hitting the border or within the Strike Zone is called a strike.
2. Teams will consist of 4 or 5 players. Only 4 players are permitted to play the field. You may have 5 batters, with one acting as a Designated Hitter. You may substitute players between the field and DH.
3. Each batter will start with a count of 1 ball and 1 strike. Any combination of 2 missed swings, called strikes, and/or foul balls is an out. Four balls is a walk. Hit batters do not take a base.
4. 3 outs per inning and 5 innings per game. A maximum of 3 at bats or 8 runs per inning.
5. The batting order must include everyone on the team and remain constant throughout the entire game.
6. Teams must keep track of their own baserunners, counts, lineups and scores, and reach decisions together on fair/foul balls and safe/out calls. Tournament officials will settle any disputes or answer any questions regarding the rules. If a tournament official is involved, their decision is final.
7. Up to four players are allowed in the field of play (including the pitcher). Each can position him/herself anywhere in fair territory beyond the pitcher’s mound.
8. All fielding must be made using only human extremities (no hats, gloves, or anything else may be used to aid the fielder).
9. Pitching and fielding substitutions can be made at any time between atbats, but NOT during them. A pitcher cannot be relieved and re-enter the game as a pitcher until the inning after which he/she was relieved.
10. FAST PITCH DIVISION ONLY: A speed limit of 45mph will be in effect. Random speed checks will be made during the tournament. If the opposing pitcher is suspected of throwing too fast, a speed check can be requested. The pitcher found to pitch over 45mph on 2 occasions (1 offense is warning) will not be allowed to pitch for the remainder of the tournament. Any pitches clocked over the limit will be considered a ball.
11. If a game is tied after 5 innings, extra innings will be played. Each team will start with the bases loaded and will receive only 1 out. The team leading after each team has an opportunity to bat will be declared the winner.
12. Victory Sports Management reserves the right to make changes and final decisions during the tournament. This is a self monitoring event, please make sure we have fun and laugh throughout the day, just as Alvis would do!
