Congratulations on an outstanding season and welcome to the 2010 Inner City Classic and Black World Series. It will be our goal to create an experience that the players, coaches and families will remember for the rest of their lives.

 

The 2010 Inner City Classic and Black World Series will be conducted under a 4 game pool play and single-elimination championship bracket, as per MJBL baseball rules.  Teams will be placed in pools where they will play a round robin within their pool.  Teams that qualify will then be placed onto a Championship bracket following pool play.  The exact format of the tournament (e.g., number of pools, number of teams in each pool, etc.) will be set by the Tournament Director, Don Tilley and NC Commissioner, Ledyke Handy.

 

NOTE: This is a 5 day event. Teams should plan to stay for the length of the event, to maximize its value. Teams should plan to play a minimum of 4 nights and 4 games, weather permitting, and should plan to play through at least Saturday afternoon and/or evening.
