Tournament Information

The Silver Series tournaments are intended for D2 & D3 Teams (Middle/”Silver” Tier or Bottom Tier) ONLY; allowing teams from these levels fair competition, a chance to bring home the Championship title and an unforgettable event! Teams from around the Midwest & South come to compete at the top parks where Silver Series Tournaments are hosted.

**NO ELITE TEAMS** This event is intended for teams that are in the middle “silver” or bottom tier of their travel baseball league. We ask that top level “elite or gold” teams do not register for this event, so that we can have some parity in pool and playoff games. Part time travel teams or house league All-Star teams are also welcome. Game Day USA administration will NOT be responsible for conducting research to qualify teams; we are trusting Head Coaches to classify their teams properly.

Refund Policy
Once an entry fee is paid for an event, no cash, check or credit card refunds will be issued for any reason whatsoever, unless Game Day USA cancels the event in advance of the event weekend due to insufficient enrollment. If a team registers and subsequently is unable to participate, the following refund/credit policy applies:

For teams who took Event Insurance at the time of registration, Game Day USA will provide a full refund of the registration fee for any team withdrawing from an event up to 15 days prior to the scheduled start of the event.

Tournament withdrawals within 15 days prior to the start of the event will forfeit all tournament fees.

If an event is canceled at any time or shortened due to inclement weather or field conditions, Game Day USA will issue credits as follows:
