Director's Guide

This is guide of things to do to get your Extreme Sports Association (ESA) tournament running successfully.
       

Only needed if it is an ESA Sanctioned Tournament

• Contact Robert Johnson about running a ESA event. Rob@ESAsoftball.com
• *Rob will get you the ESA Tournament Sanctioning Form and your ESA Commissioners contact information.
• *Fill out the ESA Tournament Sanctioning Form and have it signed by your ESA State Commissioner.
• E-mail the below information in to Robert at Rob@ESAsoftball.com

• If your tournament is using the ESA Softballs you qualify for the prize packages.
• Make sure to order your ESA Softballs at least two weeks in advance of your event so ESA can save money on shipping. Any late shipments will be sent at the expense of the tournament director.
• *Once your team entry list is complete, check with your local ESA Commissioner to make sure all of the teams are ESA sanctioned. If there are teams that are not ESA sanctioned you will need to get the appropriate sanctioning forms from your local commissioners.
• *Check with your local ESA Commissioner for tournament sanctioning. Some of them have fees for tournaments.
• *If you need assistance getting umpires also seek the help of your local ESA Commissioners and they will get you contacts.
• *You should also collect the ESA sanctioning fees and mail them to the ESA Commissioner that presides over the complex that the event is held at.
• Teams also must be ESA sanctioned. You can download and print extra ESA rosters for the teams to fill out at the event.

After the event is completed:

• Give the appropriate teams the ESA National Berth Packets and encourage them to participate.
• If managers and players have more questions about the ESA World Series do your best to answer their questions. If you don’t know the answers, refer them to ESAsoftball.com or have them e-mail their questions to Robert.
