05/25/2022 - Summer Tournaments - rough list

Here are some of the 2022 summer tournaments - this as of May 25 - let me know if you have an event to add (or results!). I will post this and will update if I find more to include.
Feel free to send me your own schedules - I just might show up!

I'm sure I'm missing tournaments from Stevensville, Petoskey, Gladwin in Michigan and in the UP.

REMEMBER - This is unofficial and if you have contact information “Check First”

(1) Links to major “corporate” tournaments (you can sort through these at your leisure);

(2) List of more local tournaments - often primarily fund-raisers or local events (often with excellent concessions) - I expect that most of my summer will be watching American Legion style tournaments / games -

#1 - Links for major “corporate” tournaments (often with mandatory hotel links)

* AABC - https://aabc.us/ - harder to get a handle on this than a Supreme Court decision; Connie Mack World Series July 20-30; Qualifiers appear to begin in early June, in the last few 2 or 3 teams were “automatic” qualifiers;

* Black Swamp (Northwest Ohio) - I did not find anything?


* Legacy Center - Brighton, MI - https://www.legacycentermichigan.com/sports-activities/baseball/baseball-tournaments/ (Seems to be about $1,200 with 4 game guarantee; likely fields listed; no mention of holtel links);

* Pastime - general (filtered 18U) - https://pastimetournaments.com/team-baseball/ (you need to enter the filters you want)


* PBR / Ohio (filtered 18U & Ohio) - https://tournaments.prepbaseballreport.com/?page=1&month=&name=&event_label_id=&division=18U&state=OH&venue_id= (8 tournaments; 4 and 5 game guarantees; $1,200 - $1,500 + hotel link);

* PBR / Michigan (filtered 18U & Michigan) - https://tournaments.prepbaseballreport.com/?page=1&month=&name=&event_label_id=&division=18U&state=MI&venue_id (4 “18U” tournaments; all 4 game guarantee and $1,200 + hotel link);

* PBR - general (filtered 18U) - https://tournaments.prepbaseballreport.com/ (Massachusetts; Michigan; Missouri; Ohio - costs $1,200 - 1,850 (Mass) + hotel links)
