For 2024, we are once again offering the Soar Apparel Men's Slow Pitch Power Series. We will feature four qualifiers and one state championship. The Power Series winner will be the team with the most points after all these tournaments are played and will include individual and team awards for each classification champion.
As always, our goal for this Power Series is to develop a consistent and competitive qualifying tournament program for USA Softball of Michigan Men’s Slow Pitch teams, further enhancing the USA Softball Brand in Michigan. This is how it works...
Men’s Slow Pitch teams competing in the Soar Apparel Power Series earn points based upon their order of finish in qualifying tournament and the state tournament. The points will be used for a variety of perks which will further benefit the team as well as USA Softball of Michigan.

The assumption is that winning a 24 team tournament is two times as difficult as winning an 8 -team tournament.
If a tournament is run with combined classes, points will be awarded according to the class. The highest finisher in each class will earn the maximum points for that class as if the tournaments were held separately. Also, The State Games of Michigan qualifiers count as "double points" for the 2024 season. Please see below for the 2024 schedule.
