Stars & Strikes is run by Elkridge Youth Organization (EYO). It is Maryland's largest travel baseball tournament. From 8U to 18U, teams compete on fields across Howard County, Maryland for the coveted title of Stars and Strikes Champion. To provide the best experience possible, we have partnered with Team Snap to bring you the most up to date information. Teams must use Team Snap to register and download the app to get all the news, latest updates, and results.
Download the app on the Apple App Store or on Google Play. All teams must have an account to participate.
The tournament will include each of the following age groups. Players must be the same age as their age group on May 1st of the calendar year to qualify.
Game balls and umpires will be provided for all games. 2 umpires will officiate all 12U - 18U games, and 1 umpire will officiate all 8U - 11U games.
2 pool play games will be played by each team. Teams will either play one game on Friday and Saturday or two games on Saturday. Draws will be dependent on a team's proximity to the tournament location. The single elimination tournament will begin on Sunday, once all pool play games have completed. Seeding for the single elimination tournament will be based on team ranking from the two pool play games.
