BRACKETS & FIRST ROUND BYES 

BRACKETS & FUNDRAISING INCENTIVES

Brackets will be pulled at the conclusion of our Captain's Meeting on Sunday, September 20th at 5:00 pm. The top fundraising teams will be awarded the opportunity to choose the start time of their first game. We will post the brackets right here on this site after the drawing. 

We are grateful for your participation. We are also hopeful you will participate as a fundraiser, as well as a player. In support of that and for ease of navigation, we are providing you with a set of quick links that we hope will be helpful to you.

OK Classic Softball Tournament

GENERAL EVENT DETAILS & BRACKET STYLE+DRAW

Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026

Location: Veteran’s Park in North Riverside - games played on fields 1 and 2

Bracket Style: Two Games Guaranteed (2GG)

Description: A variation of the single-elimination format where each team is guaranteed two games.

How It Works: Teams that lose in the first round go to the silver bracket and receive a second game. However, a team that wins its first game but loses its second is eliminated.

  • Win 1st Game → Gold Bracket. Next loss is eliminated.

  • Lose 1st Game → Silver Bracket. Next loss is eliminated.

Bracket Drawing:

  • Top Fundraisers Honor: Top two teams receive a 1st Round Bye into the Gold Quarterfinal. If they lose their first played game, they drop into the Silver Semifinal (guaranteeing 2 games).

    • First-Round Byes (2): Because the 14-team bracket requires two first-round byes, two teams will advance directly to the Gold Quarterfinals. The Top Fundraiser receives one of these byes. The second bye will be determined through the bracket draw.

    • 2-Game Guarantee for Bye Teams: If either team receiving a first-round bye loses its first played game in the Gold Quarterfinals, that team will advance to the Silver Bracket, ensuring that all 14 teams receive a minimum of two games.

  • Runner-Up Fundraisers (2): Choose preferred Round 1 game time.

Total # of Teams: 14 teams
