The 10th "Sin City" Classic Major kicks off the 16th season of the Nationwide Conference USSSA league with 48 men's teams and 17 women's teams at the Big League Dreams park in Las Vegas, Nevada! The tournament which begins Friday, March 26th at 9:00 AM Pacific time. The tournament features 5 of the top 10 teams in this years Nationwide Conference USSSA on the men's side and 3 of the 5 Major teams on the women's side. On the men's side a non-major team has never won the Las Vegas Major in its 9 previous years. Last year the Las Vegas Major was canceled due to the nation wide Covid-19 shut down.
All games on all 6 fields will be streamed on USSSALive.com. The chat room will also be up on SoftballCenter.com to keep fans informed. Live streaming will continue through the championship game which is set for Sunday at 11:00 AM Pacific time with the "if" necessary game set for 1:00 PM. The tournament is being held at the Big League Dreams park at 3151 East Washington Street. The fields have artificial turf infields and each field is modeled after the look and feel of a major league baseball stadium. Yankee Stadium is again being used as the "show" field. The 2020 World Champion Resmondo team will be playing and they return with just a few minor roster changes as they picked up Bradley Jones and lost Daniel Cayton. Meanwhile the rest of the Major division was overhauled as Dan Smith folded their team last fall and their players scattered to Smashit/Bad Draw and a new Major team Proton/Sonny's. The leagues leading power hitter Ryan Harvey signed with MPT Rentals/Juno a 4th Major division team who finished 2nd at the 2020 Major World Series.
The weather looks to be very nice but cooler with sun and high's ranging from 67 degrees on Friday to 78 on Sunday. The home run rule in the Conference is Major vs Major games hit 16 HR per team. 'AA' and 'A' vs any class is 12 home runs per team. And 'B' and below vs 'B' or non conference vs non conference games hit 8 homers per team. There are usually some pretty big upsets in this event but when Sunday rolls around there are usually at least 2 Major teams still standing.
I hope everyone has a great season and want to thank USSSA for their continued support of the Conference which is THE SHOWCASE of slowpitch softball. I continue encourage all directors and umpires of these events to do what is right and fair with regards to competition, rules, seeding, and unsportsmanlike conduct. Lets have a safe and competitive season and make great memories!

The polls picked perennial favorites Resmondo and Derby Girls to win.
Note: Resmondo has not won a Conference tournament on a 300 foot or smaller park that had another Major team in the bracket since the St Louis "Frank Webb" rain shortened Major in May of 2019. How is that for bulletin board material?
