Manchester plans “Michigan Wiffle Classic”

rings — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 18:12:21 +0000

The Machester Wiffle League has plans to challenge the best teams in Michigan to a playoff tournament.

Commissioner Evan Bortmas writes, “(We) will be challenging each of the 8 best teams in Michigan to face each other in an 8-team, best of 3-5-5, 5 on 5 wiffleball tournament. How it will work is each league will have a qualifying tournament, which at least 6 teams must enter. The winner will then be selected to go to the Michigan Wiffleball Classic. That will leave 8 of the top teams in Michigan to face each other in a battle for a cash prize, a trophy, and serious bragging rights.”

They’re planning a weekend July event in Manchester, located between Jackson and Ann Arbor. Their players are high school age, but the tournament is open to all ages. Their rules are fastpitch and baserunning, using only the official wiffle bats & balls. For more information, contact Evan at “manchesterwiffle (at) yahoo.com”
