Coaches & Players,

Get ready for a softball format that’s fast, explosive, strategic — and flat-out FUN.

👉 PLAY21 is YOUR tournament.

🔥 UNLIMITED HOME RUNS

Let the big dogs eat. No limits. No counting. No apologies.

________________________________________

⚡ Fast-Paced Format

• 6 innings max — no open inning

• 5 runs per inning

• No time limit

Games typically run 55-60 minutes… and every minute is chaos.

________________________________________

🎯 How You Win

• First team to 21 runs = instant win

• Or after 6 innings, highest score wins

Run Rule:

If a team is mathematically unreachable (example: up 11 after the 4th and opponent can’t tie), game over.

If the trailing team can still catch up, play continues.

This format mixes luck, skill, and nonstop adrenaline.

STRATEGY MATTERS 👇

👉 Visitors Advantage – LUCK MATTERS – BUT NOT AS MUCH AS IT SEAMS 

Yes — going up to bat first is typically the move.

If you win the coin flip, take the sticks!

👉 Every Run is Gold

Race to 21 means no run is meaningless.

Momentum swings fast — defense still wins games.
