                  Subject:  High Desert Classic Tournament

      Dear Coaches:

      Welcome to the Twelfth Annual High Desert Classic Tournament, which began as the Albuquerque Invitational in 1986. The traditions of team excellence, good sportsmanship, and fair play for all have been and are the foundations for our tournament.   

      The High Desert Classic, will be a Thirty-seven team event with teams representing; Arizona , Colorado , New Mexico , and Texas . Teams have been seated to eliminate competition between teams from the same area, other than the championship rounds. The Tournament will start on Thursday, July 9th, at 1:00 p.m. and conclude Sunday, July 12th, with a championship game at 4:00 p.m. Each team is guaranteed Five games, weather permitting. The first three games will be played in a round-robin format to determine seating for the next round of competition. The teams will be separated into groups based on their records within round-robin play. The teams with the best records from each group will be placed into a 21 team bracket. All teams participating in the 16 team bracket have the opportunity to play seven games to determine a true divisional champion.

      We have enclosed a list of hotels that are helping to sponsor this event, that are providing quality service at superior rates. In addition, we have included a team listing and game schedule. We wish everyone a pleasant stay and a great time in New Mexico .

       Please check our WEB: “www.newmexicobaseball.com” Site for the latest details.
