Teams are allowed ONE team cooler. Also No grills or grilling at the Sports Complex.WFC does require that all parents, fans, coaches and players are on their best behavior while attending WFC National Events. WFC will not tolerate any unpartisan like behavior. Anyone who shows that they cannot behave in a proper manner will be asked to leave the complex immediately or the police will be called. Coaches please understand that sometimes there are calls that you will not agree with all the time.
Teams will not be seeded by pool play into double elimination. After many years of doing the WFC National Events we know seeding does not work. The worse thing that happens in seeding is when two teams say from NJ that have played each other all year, then because of seeding start out there first National bracket game playing each other. This means for sure each team will have four different teams to play.
Pool games will be 1 hour & 20 mins. drop dead.
But for many reasons a winner will be reverted back to the previous inning. There again the pool games have no meaning in the bracket play or draw.
With this in mind, before bracket games there will still be a coin flip at home plate before the game.The Home team is the official scorer. It is each team’s responsibility to turn in bracket game scores.
Regular Bracket Games are 1 hour & 20 mins.
Championship Games & if games are 2 hour time limit or 6 inning for the 8u & 10u bracket or run rule 12, 10, 8
Championship Games & if games are 2 hour time limit or 7 inning for the 12u ,14u,16,18u,24u brackets or run rule 12, 10, 8
Coaches remember failure to turn in a signed WFC roster can lead to disqualification.
Everyone should realize the schedule is subject to change. By teams dropping out, or adding teams, due to rain, lights not working, field damage, games going extra inning,mistake made in schedule,and many more reasons .EVERYONE SHOULD CHECK SCHEDULE DAILY BEFORE & DURING THE WFC SUMMER NATIONALS .Because of this, teams need to expect the possibility of late games on any night and tournament format can be changed.
In case of inclement weather all coaches must come to the fields to check in with WFC staff for any updated game schedules. Please do not call or go to the website for any updates because the WFC staff will be at the complexes with schedule updates.
