Tournament Preview

2026 Windy City bracket and team list link

The “Windy City” major is this Friday thru Sunday at the McCaslin Park in Carol Stream, Illinois just outside of Chicago. There are 22 men’s teams from 13 different states and 17 of them are from the Conference USSSA. So the winner will get 180 + (17 x 4) = 248 Conference Points. The double elimination tournament will start at 4 PM Central time Friday and finish Sunday. The infields at McCaslin park are artificial turf and the weather looks cooler with chances of rain. Worsham vs Fishers, WestPoint vs JPS, Vivid vs Weather Pro, and Primetime vs Legendz are interesting Friday matchups. There are usually a lot of upsets in Chicago but if there isn’t then the quarterfinal and semifinal matchups should all be AA vs Major or Major vs Major games on Saturday starting at 11:30 AM with the winner’s final scheduled for 5 PM.
