Coed SuperDraft Softball Tournament

The SuperDraft is a two-day coed softball tournament scheduled for a Saturday and Sunday, with games to be held at Cartee. The event aims to form 16 teams, each consisting of 7 men and 5 women, and all participants will receive a custom SuperDraft jersey. Tickets for the tournament are available for purchase until June 14, with an early draft planned to ensure jerseys are ready in time for the event. An early check-in party is scheduled for Friday, July 24, where players can pick up their jerseys and participate in drawings for prizes such as bats. Games are set to commence at 8 AM on Saturday. The tournament's philosophy is to provide a pure recreational softball experience, focusing on playing for fun and fostering new friendships, rather than competing for a Nationals berth or adhering to strict roster checks, offering a chance to play before the long Alaska winter. Participation in the SuperDraft costs $60. This fee includes a guarantee of 4 games, an official SuperDraft jersey, and eligibility for various prize drawings. Players must be at least 18 years old to enter the event. The team balancing process involves knowledgeable coaches drafting players in a fantasy-style format (1-16, then 16-1), making strategic decisions on player roles like pitchers and shortstops to promote balanced rosters. Regarding refunds, ticket refunds are available up to 5 days before the tournament, but Eventbrite fees are explicitly stated as non-refundable. Participants who no-show or cancel after this specified period will forfeit both their event fee and jersey. The organizers strongly advise against signing up if a player cannot commit to playing on both days of the tournament.
