Playoff Schedule Policy
|
Bridgewater Baseball is very flexible with scheduling but there is one limitation. The districts and regional tournaments are being played in our complex. Therefore, we have limited flexibility for the playoff schedules. Pool play must games must be completed by the playoff start date. Teams that are unable to play will forfeit the game. As soon as the playoff teams are decided by pool play, the teams will be filled into playoff schedule.
|
|

Includes rain outs.
- Conduct a schedule search on the website to find open fields.
- Contact the other manager to discuss the open field dates.
- Agree on a date, time, and field.
- Send an email to the Tournament Director to request the change.
· Please copy the Assistant Director(s) and both managers.
