Baseball Queensland has resolved to grow tournament participation opportunities for all members; accordingly, we have developed a suite of additional tournaments to offer. The most pressing of these is the Open Age Division I and Division II State Titles. Baseball Queensland are currently calling for Regional teams to nominate to play in both these events. The GBL competition has planned a hiatus in the GBL competitions to allow these events to go ahead.
The entry fee for each event is $1600.00 per team with prize money on offer for the top three teams. Regions are advised that BQ will be pushing this information out via social media in the next few days (maybe as early as Friday 16/8) so if you require changes to the contact details listed please advise at your earliest convenience.
If you have any questions regarding these events please contact Gareth Jones gareth@baseballqld.asn.au
