### Tournament Format & Competitive Balance

Christmas in July is an **A/B-level tournament** designed to create fair, competitive play for both community-based and club programs.

We understand how difficult it can be to classify teams in today’s travel baseball landscape. To ensure balance:

- Each division will accept **up to 16 teams**
- Divisions with **10+ teams** will feature open pool play
- **Separate Sunday elimination brackets** will be used to maintain competitive integrity
- Each bracket will award **1st & 2nd place team trophies** and **individual awards**

#### 🚫 NO ELITE-LEVEL TEAMS

Tournament management reserves the right to remove any team deemed “elite” to protect the competitive balance of the event. If your team regularly competes in high-level open tournaments, this event may not be the right fit.

### Why Teams Love Christmas in July

- Festive atmosphere without sacrificing competition
- Music and announcers on every field
- Holiday-themed photography
- Family-friendly experience at a premier local park
- A championship trophy players will never forget

🎅⚾ Spots fill quickly—register early and give your team a tournament experience that’s truly one of a kind.
