We have provided this Future Baseball Stars Tournament Official Policies and Procedures page with the intention of providing as much clarity as possible to teams supporting FBS Tournament events. It is the aim of these same policies and procedures to be help protect all of the teams participating in FBS Tournament events. If you should have any questions regarding any of our tournament policies and procedures please feel to email me or call anytime Monday thru Sunday 9am to 9pm.
Please keep in mind that once your team officially enters a FBS Tournament event we are fully committed to your team with all of our FBS resources and we respectively ask the same of all teams participating with FBS. It is our goal to protect not only your team but additionally every team participating with FBS Tournament events.
All teams entering into any Future Baseball Stars Tournament must show current proof of insurance for their team(s). Rosters and waivers must be filled out and signed by parent or guardian prior to participating in any FBS Tournament. Please remember that a player can never play with two teams in the same tournament even if it's in two separate age divisions.
FBS Returned/NSF Check Policies: Unfortunately we end up with NSF checks being returned to our office - Effective immediately all tournament entry fee checks returned from payer's bank for reason of NSF, or for any other reason, unpaid, will be charged a returned check fee of $75.00 payable to Future Baseball Stars in the form of a money order or cashier's check. Payment in cash is also acceptable. Additionally no check returned to Future Baseball as NSF will be re-deposited. Respective writer of NSF check to FBS will re-submit payment in full (including $75.00 returned check fee) in cash, money order or cashier's check. Personal or business checks will NOT be accepted under any circumstances. If after 5 business days of written notice from Future Baseball Stars NSF check is not paid in full, writer of NSF check, will be responsible for any other additional legal fees/legal actions (such as but not limited to Small Claims Court fees) and costs incurred by Future Baseball Stars in attempting to collect said debt from writer of NSF check.
Future Baseball Stars Awards Policies : In an effort to provide quality awards to our participants our awards policy is geared towards rewarding each participating player in a given tournament. Individual participating player awards range from Medals, T-Shirts, sweatshirts, or hats (apparel of some type). In some events redeemable team script is awarded to the top teams for team apparel or team equipment (gloves, bats, etc) depending on the event. Award packages are determined solely by the tournament director's discretion and may be modified depending on such circumstances such as an item being back ordered. In such cases an award package of the same value will be substituted for the unavailable item. Please keep in mind that everything will be done to honor the "advertised" award as we are aware that the kids get their hearts set on what they are told they will be receiving as an award from Future Baseball Stars. All custom ordered items may take up to three weeks from the date of your team order to be received by your team manager. Apparel and specialty items are awarded for each participating player on roster up to 14 players max unless game score cards show a team had more than the 14 players actually participating that weekend in tournament. Specialty and apparel items take 2-3 weeks for delivery to team once we have received your faxed order. Telephone orders are not accepted. Teams wanting to purchase additional apparel items may do so by submitting request to tournament director at an additional cost, determined by Future Baseball Stars, which is pre paid to Future Baseball Stars at the time of placing the order.
FBS Membership : All teams participating in any Future Baseball Stars Tournament event must have a current FBS Membership.
FBS Team Roster : All teams must present a current FBS Team Roster to tournament director prior to first scheduled game of tournament one hour prior to start of game.
FBS Playing Rules: All teams participating in any FBS tournament must adhere to all Local FBS Baseball rules and all other governing rules.
Tournament Team Cancellations: Teams cancelling or dropping out of any FBS Tournament event must notify the tournament director via email, or in writing no later than 7 days prior to the start of the tournament event they are dropping out of. Notice of team wishing to drop out of a FBS event they have entered must be given by the team manager or the business manager of team. A 20% processing fee will be deducted from the tournament fee. The remaining entry fee will be refunded within two weeks.

Note: In the event that a team is given a FBS Tournament team credit that credit must be used by same team (no exceptions) within one of the next three scheduled FBS Tournament series events from the issuance of tournament credit. Tournament credits are at the sole discretion of the tournament director and are awarded normally under only the most severe circumstances on a team to team basis.
