TOURNAMENT FAQS

How many teams will be at a HARDBALL 360 tournament?

We generally expect eight teams, although it is possible to have more, or less depending on the location and facilities.

If I sign up as a free agent, how will I be assigned a team?

Our goal is to make each team equally competitive and balanced.  We will work to put teammate requests together and we will evaluate each player, the skill level and position played to build teams out to achieve this goal.  Our target team is 12-14 players.

Do teams generally sign up or is everyone a free agent?

Teams may sign up, however, generally we find that players bring a core group of 5-8 players and they build out their team with free agents.  The great things about baseball, is every time you play on a new team, you make new friends.

Where do you recommend we stay?

We recommend that everyone stay at the recommended HARDBALL 360 partner hotels to enjoy the HARDBALL 360 discount and often the best experience. Book hotel through the website the link and rate will be there.

What is the average age of the players?

You have to be at least 30 years old, or the relative of a player, but generally the age spread is 30-79, with the average age around 48 years of age. We require that a player be 35 or older to pitch.
