About Southern Shootout
This will mark the 42nd anniversary of the tournament, which has been going strong since 1984.
We plan to have 50 or more teams again this year, with divisions for C, D, and E. The tournament will use the new 2026 iPride Ratings, and we will play by ASA rules and use ASA/USA certified umpires; USSSA bats will not be allowed.
Early registration fee is $375, cut off date is December 31st, after the early cut off date, the fee will be $475, which has to be in by March 17th, after this date, no refunds will be given.
Southern Shootout will be played at George Ward Park, which is only a few minutes from the host hotel.
We will host our Friday night Southern Hospitality Registration Party with an open bar from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm at Al’s on 7th. If you have never been to one of our host parties, you need to ask around, because it is one of the best parties you will find at any tournament, southern hospitality at its best, right here in Birmingham, AL.
For those of you who like to go out to the local bars, they are all within a short drive from the host hotel. Check our sponosr Al’s on 7th, Birmingham’s premier LGBTQIA+ bar! Featuring drag shows with the DREAMCAST plus 2x weekly karoake & more!
