usually in a 1 pitch tourney though the strikezone is bigger. I like them games get over quick. normally play in all of the ones our area has.
maybe when your lame castalia league is done you fools can play a tourney over in norwalk, they have some tx shootouts...
it wasn't a tx shootout this past weekend but i threw together a team and we took 3rd in a round robin that advanced to a single elim.
I like the 1 pitch tournaments. It does put a TON of presure on the pitcher though. I wouldn't put a time limit on the games though, nothings worse than a good game ending due to time. I would also make the HR limit very high. Maybe even Unlimited HR's.
When people on here say 2 pitch tournament, you mean the count starts 2-2?
Go with 1 pitch, but teams pitch to themselves. No balls or strikes...just swings. Games go so much faster you can get 9 innings in. Your call on using 9 or 10 fielders, but blowing up the pitcher goes away when guys have to pitch to teammates.
**** it i hate my pitcher i would blow him up 2.
TX Shootouts is what they call them in this area, not sure what they are called elsewhere
but imo 1 pitch tourneys suck bcus if your pitcher gets in a funk and can't throw consistent strikes you are ****ed
