What a great weekend! We loved helping welcome thousands of athletes and supporters to Bentonville and being a part of such a big few days! 🥎

WOW! What a great 3 days in beautiful Northwest Arkansas 💥💥

208 teams, final count of 726 games played! This was a titanic logistical operation and my staff absolutely NAILED it! Everyone involved played such an integral part in the success of this event. We aren’t a big corporation or entity. It’s a one person operation with a phenomenal supporting cast ❤️❤️. I can’t thank them enough. To all the teams and families that trusted us to put on a great event and experience and that took the chance on us with the bad juju from past weather regarding this event…. THANK YOU!!! I hope the decision was well worth it. The whole area was crawling with softball and I was so happy that everyone was able to experience just how great Northwest Arkansas truly is! Lots of great softball, great lifetime memories, and soo many new friendships were made. A big congrats to the teams that fought their way to the end and made it to the finals. What an amazing accomplishment and one to forever be proud of. Just making it to day 3 of this type of event is an accomplishment in itself! I hope everyone made it home safe and has had time to catch their breath! Will take a few days to recover from this one. Til next time!
