Congratulations on an outstanding season and welcome to the 2010 Nations Baseball 9U & 12U East Coast Elite National Championship. It will be our goal to create an experience that the players, coaches and families will remember for the rest of their lives.  The 2010 Nations Baseball 9U & 12U East Coast Elite National Championship will be played in Gastonia, North Carolina on July 15th - 18th, 2010 at Martha Rivers Park and George Poston Park.
 
The Nations Baseball program will use the "Pool-Play" format in its National Championships. Teams will be placed in pools where they will play a round robin within their pool. Teams will then be placed in a Championship bracket following pool play or into a Consolation bracket. The exact format of the tournament, e.g., number of pools, number of teams in each pool, etc., will be set by the Tournament Director following Nations Baseball guidelines.
 
Your team's entry form, official roster, and cashier's check or money order only, for the entry fee must be received by your state director by July 1st, 2010. The State Director will then forward this material with your official roster and a letter of transmittal to National Championship Headquarters: Crystal Carolina Sports, 3826 S. New Hope Rd. Suite 17, Gastonia, NC 28056 to guarantee your spot in the tournament. Your entry fee, in the amount of $595 should be made payable to Crystal Carolina Sports.
