Denmark, WI-The 6th Annual Boys of Summer Open tournament is only a couple days away and the anticipation is brewing high to go with the forecast.The temperatures are supposed to be approaching 90 each day this weekend witha slight chance of rain later on Sunday. It is Wisconsin and the weathermen “have trouble predicting darkness after midnight “according to one of the locals. As you know due to tremendous response in the offseason we have expanded the tournament to 16 incredible teams and has been dubbed the”mini-World”by many. We’ve added a 3rd diamond for 7 games on Saturday andoneplayoff game. I invite all fastpitch fans to take this one in as it proves to be one of the best. Circle Tap is a tremendous sponsor of fastpitch softball on both the ISC and ISCII level for 12 years and will play host to this outstanding event. The Circle Tap diamond has that old school feel backfrom the barnstorming days, so I’m told, as it’s set in the country with trees in the outfield and a cornfield in the distance. Couple that energy with a beautiful modern tavern a few steps away and you haveall you can ever ask for at a ball park. Any of your favorite drinks anda large menu of food can be consumed as you take in the games through thelarge glass windows or hanging out on the deck, or catching some rays in the bleachers, or still yet under a shade tent down the 1st baseline. If you can’t make it the 20 steps into the bar there will also again be a beergarden, can beer this year, near the 1st base dugout. New this year will be a DJ in the bar both nights for your after game entertainment. A complete schedule can be found on our website, www.circletap.minnesotafastpitch.com, but here is a completelist ofteams:

I’d have to say that is one of the finest and deepest field of teams I’ve seen in an open tournament. I’ve received a tremendous amount of e-mails from fans from around the US and Canada so we’re anticipatingthe largestcrowds ever spread out over the 3 diamonds.
Thank you for allof yoursupport and interest it makes putting this monster together all that much more enjoyable. Brilliant fans and great teams make a great event.
