TOURNAMENT

BANQUET:                  This year’s tournament banquet will be held at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino.  Each player on

                                       each team will receive one coupon for the Palace Station Feast Buffet for dinner, unless you are staying at

                                       the host hotel.  Those players staying at the host hotel will receive two coupons for the Palace Station

                                       Feast Buffet.  Immediately following the Buffet dinner we will hold an awards ceremony and have a special

                                       guest speaker in our own private meeting room.  The tournament banquet will be held on Tuesday evening

                                       (Oct. 23rd) during the tournament week.  This will allow for all teams to plan for other events and shows

                                       throughout the tournament week in Las Vegas.   

 

MANAGERS AND

DISCOUNTS:                    Manager’s discount:  All managers are entitled to a discount up to $150, if his team is complete

                                       with a minimum of 10 total players (including himself), and he doesn’t require additional help

                                       from the NABA to complete his team.  For each player that the NABA must assign to complete

                                       his team, $15 per player will be deducted from the discount. 

 

UNIFORMS:                All new teams and veteran teams entered into the Over 50 or Over 60 National Fun Tournament will

                                       receive a uniform with color and team name of their choice, and a matching NABA tournament cap. 

                                       If you’re a new team or a veteran team, and you have your own uniforms, you may choose to utilize

                                       them or take the tournament uniform.  If your team is utilizing your own team uniforms and caps,

                                       then you may take the $25.00 uniform discount.  If your team takes the uniform discount, you will

                                       NOT receive a uniform or cap from NABA, and your team will be responsible for it own uniform and

                                       cap.  If your team is utilizing the tournament uniform and cap, you are not eligible for the uniform discount. 

                                       All player uniforms and caps must match each other.    

 

EMERGENCY SUBSTITUTE

PLAYER                        If you would like to play in more than one game per day by being listed as an EMERGENCY

                                        SUBSTITUTE PLAYER then on the registration give us your name, primary team assignment,

                                        Las Vegas contact phone number or cell phone number, age, height, weight, and playing position

                                        preferences will be given out to all managers, and you may be contacted (not guaranteed).  You may

                                        also promote yourself as an emergency player on your own. 

 

ELIGIBLE SECONDARY PLAYERS AND COSTS 

    If you are interested in playing more than one game a day (NOT GUARANTEED) then you may register

    to play on a secondary team as long as you are age eligible to play in that division.  If you are interested

    in playing more than one game a day (Guaranteed), then you may register to play on the TEAM USA

    organization as long as you are age eligible to play in that division.  Team USA will play all of their games

    at 3 PM each day and the only way you will not be able to play with Team USA, is if your primary team

    is scheduled to play Team USA.  To play a second game and be a secondary player the cost is only $50.

    When registering, please add $50.00 in the secondary player box and add it to your total. 

 

    PLEASE NOTE FOR TEAM USA ORGANIZATIONS:  The tournament will assign TEAM

    USA organizations with players who are primary players from existing teams who are interested

    in playing more than one game a day.  These players are called secondary players.  These

    secondary players for TEAM USA will be responsible for showing up at the game for the

    TEAM USA they have been assigned to play for.  The only exception may be if your primary

    team is scheduled to play against a TEAM USA.  The NABA will do all it can to eliminate the

    possibility of matching a secondary player on a TEAM USA against his primary team. 

    However, the NABA cannot guarantee that such a conflict may arise.  Since the TEAM USA

    games will be played at the 3:00 PM time slot, we are hopeful it will eliminate most of the

    conflicts in allowing you to make it to your TEAM USA game.  

 

    PLEASE NOTE:  No secondary players will receive a second uniform or matching cap for the

    TEAM USA they will be playing for.  You will use your primary team’s uniform and cap so it is

    obvious that you are a secondary player playing in the game.  In addition, playing in a second

    game incurs costs for fields, umpires, and baseballs so there is an add-on cost for being a

    secondary player.  Each secondary player must pay an additional $50 in order to be assigned

    to a TEAM USA organization.  THE SAME IS TRUE FOR PLAYERS WITHIN

    ORGANIZATIONS WHO PLAY FOR BOTH TEAMS IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS. 

 

NEW TEAM REFERRAL PROGRAM 

    If a manager and players of an EXISTING team in the tournament refers a NEW team into the

    tournament who did not participate the year before, the ENTIRE EXISTING team will be eligible for a

    $50.00 refund after the tournament; or may take a $75.00 rebate toward the next year’s National Fun

    Tournament.  Each player has the right to determine whether they will take the refund or rebate. 

    NABA has the sole discretion to determine if a manager and its players referred a new team in the

    tournament.
