We will have three available sites for this tournament including the Matt Urban Complex (City of Holland), Quincy Park (Holland Twp.), and Helder Park (Holland Twp.).  Between these three sites, we'll have eight lighted ball diamonds for our use.  If necessary, we will also have access to additional high school facilities.  For directions to these sites, please click the links listed below.

Teams will need to present their the Official Roster Form at their assigned Check-In time.  The Official Player Pick Up Form can also be presented at Check-In, however, a Player Pick Up form must be signed by the commissioner or designee before being presented.  If a Pick Up Player form is needed, see the link listed below.

Coaches need to be approved by USA Softball of Michigan state staff through the RegisterUSA process.  This includes Background Check certification, SafeSport certification, Concussion certification (required in Michigan) and Picture ID.  One on-field coach must also be ACE certified.  

Players need to have Picture ID's and their parent signatures on the Official Roster Form

All teams will have assigned Check-In times once the deadline for entry has passed.  Teams will Check-In, collectively, with all players and coaches needing proper picture ID's and paperwork.

The entry fee for this tournament is $675.00.  Payment options will be online, only.  Team sanction & insurance costs are included in the entry fee.  To enter online, please see the Tourney Machine listing below.  Teams will have until Monday, June 17, at 12pm to enter this tournament using the online process.   

Bat Testing will also take place at Check-In.  For Bat Testing, we are looking for and implementing the following...

• An official ASA or USA stamp
• Cracks or dents on the entirety of the bat
• Shake test both straight up and turned over for wobbles, rattles, loose pieces, etc.
• Compression Test
  • Every compliant bat will receive a sticker that is specific for said tournament
  • Each bat has a signature number that it must achieve to be compliant.  If it does not get to the required number after multiple tests, it will not pass

Please understand that we are not trying to eliminate bats.  In fact, we will do our best to get them in, if possible.  However, if you know you have bat that isn’t legal, don’t bring it.  For information on bat testing standards, click the link below.

We are aware that some tournaments have admission or gate fees for their respective tournaments along with "stay-to-play" requirements for hotels.  The Tulip City Cup does not have those requirements.  There are no gate fees and you can stay wherever you would like.  For lodging information as well as information on Holland, see the box listed below...

The Holland Convention & Visitors Bureau will be able to help assist you with your lodging, dining, and entertainment information.  Holland has multiple hotels within the city/township boundaries, but you can also check for additional options within the Grand Rapids, Grand Haven, and Saugatuck areas.  Checkout the the Holland CVB website link listed below.

With the possibility of being at multiple sites, we are looking at the option of doing online pre-tournament apparel sales.  This will include shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and more.  As we get closer to the tournament, more details and the actual online store will be listed here.

Since this is the Tulip City Cup, we have to have awards featuring wooden shoes and/or Dutch-related themes and designs.  As we get closer to the tournament look for updates on what the awards will look like and other award options we may have!
