Here so far at the major state baseball tournament we have had the opportunity to have two photographers come in one took still photos and is selling them on site. The other one took action shots of every game and has donated them to everybody to download at their discretion they’re slowly being uploaded to our district 6 Facebook page. Please send your teams to the district 6 Facebook page to see if their game has been posted yet. These pictures were taken for free and we’re donated for free for families to create those memories

Updates for 2025 8/10 Baseball Tournament Managers:
by cammie pekonen 16 Jul '25

16 Jul '25

Hi Managers! I wanted to provide you with some updates for the Tournament: • The Manager Meeting time will be on Saturday the 19th at 9:00 am at Bar-S Playfield. This will allow more time for questions. • Tournament documents will be turned in at this time and not returned until the documents have been verified. • Please come prepared to the meeting with team parent information for a Scorekeeper and an Announcer/Pitch Counter. Although we may have such volunteers signed up and ready for each game, a backup would be helpful, so we aren’t trying to do this last minute. • I have asked that the bracket from our State site list the fields as North and South as that is how they are labeled. Field one will be the South Field and field two will be the North Field. This will be the one printed at the field and updated following games. • I am working on getting some practice fields while you are in town, more information to follow at the Manager Meeting. • We are doing a 50/50 raffle for each game time. Winner to be drawn in the fourth inning. We will accept cash or venmo. District 7 proceeds will go to offset the cost of the medallions and pins for each player in the tournament. • We have a t-shirt vendor on site but you can also order online at https://d7-little-league.square.site/ . • Opening Ceremonies / Fish Stick Game: *Previously posted * Details are being worked on by the Host League President, but roughly: o Mel Olson Stadium in White Center, just a few minutes south of West Seattle o Friday 7/18 o Opening ceremony approx 5:45-6:15pm o Fishsticks game is 6:35, game lasts approx 2 hours o On-field activities for players before the game (players, bring your glove!), plus fun contests for kids between innings. They know how to put on a show! o Full food & beverage concessions, including a beer garden for 21+ attendees o Tickets would be approx. $10 for all kids and attendees. I am working on details with the team and will get a link for families to pre-purchase tickets. o As soon as I get the link for tickets I will send it out.

Small adjustments (sheesh)
by J. P. 16 Jul '25

16 Jul '25

Hi All In trying to help folks adjust to the new brackets we have made a couple of changes. First change is Game 1 will be played at 3:00 PM on the 19th instead of 9 AM. Next change is D 12 and D13 are swapping spots on the latest bracket to help ease the time crunch on D12. We have talked with the managers of teams from D8, D3, and D12 and all is sorted. I will be sending out a revised bracket (swapping 12/13) and noting the time change for Game 1. I expect it will be out early AM tomorrow.

10-11 BB Bracket Change
by J. P. 15 Jul '25

15 Jul '25

Hi All, We have found out today we don't have a team coming to the 10-11 State Tournament that was previously planned for. I have called Western and advised them of the bracket change. New Brackets are attached. One of the "bye" teams is moving into a slot on the first day of play and we will be going to a 12 team bracket. D9 will be playing D8 on Saturday. D3 Moves their first game to Sunday. In redoing the bracket two teams got "uncoupled" from each other in the new bracket (3 and 8). So we tossed a coin and D3 got the bye. New brackets attached along with the revised schedule... It also looks like the first elimination game will be MONDAY instead of Sunday... Sorry for the last minute change. Sincerely, JP District Administrator (DA) Washington Little League - District 13 E: dadist13(a)wadist13ll.org<mailto:dadist13@wadist13ll.org> T:509-995-4200 http://www.wadist13ll.org Follow us on Facebook@wadist13ll [cid:image002.png@01DBF599.148714C0][cid:image004.jpg@01DBF599.148714C0]

by J. P. 15 Jul '25

Hi All District 13 is making a suite of 4 bedrooms available (FOR FREE) for DAs to come to the tournament - it's on a "first come first served" basis, but we will let you have one of the bedrooms in the 4 bedroom suite if you would like to come and watch your team play. Stay as long as you like. You might be sharing a suite with an umpire... but you would have your own bedroom and so forth... the beds are queen beds... and there is great AC ! BUT PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP IF YOU PLAN TO COME AND USE THE FREE ROOM NIGHTS...

Housing and events for 9-10-11 State
by J. P. 14 Jul '25

14 Jul '25

Hi All, In writing this, I am hoping to get you all to encourage your teams coming to 9-11 state BB to talk with the folks at Brewster Hall (contact in the packet) about housing. We are looking at focusing all events that are not at the field around Brewster because A) it's spacious and B) it's air conditioned... We are going to hold our Manager/Coaches dinner there as well as our manager's meeting. Before the manager's meeting we will be serving a meal. The menu for the meal is pork loin, pasta salad, fruit, etc. Manager's meeting is 6:00PM at Brewster in the cafe. And we are also considering opening the Bistro downstairs with snacks and drinks... if we have enough people registering in the hotel. We will be publishing more of the "special events" schedules as Stacy gets them developed. Also we want to reiterate the importance of the Manager's meeting on July 18th at Brewster Hall... teams failing to send a representative to that meeting will forfeit coin toss the entire tournament, and will not have access to info given out during the meeting. A more formal schedule will be sent out later regarding the A) Opening Ceremonies (yes we will have them), pool party at the Aquatic Center, and other details...
