FIELD RULES: Grass Lawn Park Softball Field #1 and Perrigo Park fields have synthetic turf surfaces. There are many benefits to this type of surface. The fields handle rain very will almost eliminating rainouts, and they still play like grass. The new fields also reduce maintenance and allow us to extend the season of play. However, because of the turf surface, there are some new rules that will be strictly enforced. No food is allowed on the field. Sunflower seeds, tobacco products, and gum (some of the traditional treats for softball players) are NOT ALLOWED on the field or in the dugout. Please understand and respect these rules. Teams caught violating these rules are subject to forfeiture of games, as well as removal from the tournament without refund.
