Welcome to June, we are 51 days from the NBC World Series and with that we speed up the game and get all our ducks in a row!! We have made some changes recently to the NBC World Series and also to our brand and image that you will see everywhere in the coming days leading up to first pitch on July 29th at 4:30 pm. Our logo has been redone and with the new look, you will now see three players in the logo, where before you may have not known there was three there. We have many events coming up we will be at, so come say hello and ask us more about the great items we have added to the 82nd NBC World Series.

NBC TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
In an effort to continue giving qualifying teams more reasons to play in Wichita. The 82nd NBC World Series is going from a double elimination format to pool play. The World Series will still have 16 teams competing in First Week with the top two teams qualifying for Championship Week. For the first time in our history though, teams will have a three game guarantee, as opposed to two in the 81 years previous. The format calls for four teams in four different pools with the top teams from each pool advancing to an elimination playoff. For the fourth straight year, 30 teams will be playing for the coveted National Championship.  In First Week, the top team from each pool will advance to a single elimination game on Thursday, August 4th. Those two winners advance to Championship Week. Championship Week will have the same structure, four teams in four pools. However, the top two teams from each pool will advance to elimination games on Thursday, August 11. Semifinals will be held Friday, August 12 with the two remaining winners facing each other on Championship Saturday, August 13th. The new format puts emphasis on strong pitching and makes the trip to Wichita more rewarding for our qualifying teams.  


This year's 82nd NBC World Series will be held July 29-August 13. The 27th annual Baseball 'Round the Clock presented by Coleman will be Friday August 5 - Sunday August 7. 

The Early Bird registration fee will be $20/Upper section ticket, $35/Lower section ticket or $25/$40 the day of (Aug 5). If you are an NBC Tournament Pass Holder the registration is only $5. The registration fee will entitle registrant the ticket they choose to all three days of the NBC World Series July 29 - August 13. T-Shirts will be awarded to those participants who finish successfully and also have a chance to win other great prizes and Coleman products.
 
This year we will also host a Coleman Scavenger Hunt for all Baseball 'Round the Clock participants and those who finish the scavenger hunt, will have the chance to win $500 cash! The scavenger hunt will take place during Baseball 'Round the Clock.
