Payment

You must register and pay online on this site to enter the tournament. We do not accept paper checks or cash.
This site uses PayPal, which accepts all major credits cards, debit cards, and online checks. You do not have to have a PayPal account to pay with credit or debit cards. To pay with an online check, you must have a free PayPal account.
You are not fully registered until you have paid! Your registration will be dropped and you will be placed on the waiting list if you do not pay. The absolute payment deadline is seven days before the tournament.
To pay, type your team name and select your age level, then click Pay for Tournament.

No-Play Requests

If you have no-play requests, use the Submit No-Plays form. We do not accept no-play requests via email or telephone.
No-plays must be requested by the date that registration ends (generally one week before the tournament). Late no-play requests are not accepted.
Teams are allowed to request up to two no-play times.
This means that teams can request up to two times not to play. We would like to be able to grant more than that, but it is impossible to create a schedule with more than two no-play request times. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Teams cannot request to play before, after, or at a certain time.
Requesting an 8:00 AM and a 12:00 PM no-play does not include 10:00 AM, and so forth.
We will do our best to grant no-play requests, but they are not guaranteed. Be ready to play at any time until the final schedule is published.
There are no refunds after the schedule is published.
If you do not have a compelling reason to request a no-play, please do not request one. No-plays are reserved for teams that have players playing other sports or very serious roster conflicts. Please do not request a no-play because you do not want to get up early or stay up late. As stated above, if we have too many no-plays, we can't grant all of them, and you might end up costing another team a game because they didn't have enough players.
Schedule changes after the schedule is published are $100 per change. You can pay for the change on the Payments page.

Insurance

All teams must be registered with Nations Baseball to play in these events. Nations Baseball annual registration includes team accident and liability insurance from August 1 to July 31. Therefore, registration with Nations Baseball is your proof of insurance.

Fall 2008 Only: Nations Baseball instituted a reduced-price registration for the fall of 2008 whereby teams that have insurance through December 31, 2008 can register for Nations Baseball for a reduced rate and have their Nations Baseball insurance effective from January 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009 instead of August 1, 2008 to July 31, 2009. Teams that choose this registration option must show proof of insurance before playing in BABA events.

Refund Policy

If a team cancels fourteen or more days before the tournament, it receives a full refund. Teams that cancel thirteen to eight days before the tournament receive a 75% refund. A team that cancels seven days or less before the tournament receives a 50% refund. If a replacement team is found, the team receives a refund equal to 100% of the original registration fee, minus a $50 administration fee.

There are no refunds after the schedule is published except as outlined below.

Teams are guaranteed a certain number of games. If rainouts, lighting failures, or other similar situations beyond our control cause a team to receive less than their number of guaranteed games, the team will receive a refund equal to the registration fee divided by the number of guaranteed games, less an administration fee of $50.00. These refunds are called rainout refunds, no matter the cause. Rainout refunds are not given if a rain date is scheduled for the tournament. There are no refunds for forfeits or disqualifications.

Any team that forfeits a game in pool play is immediately disqualified from the remainder of tournament and does not receive a refund. See the tournament rules for details.

Tournament Waiting List

If your division is not listed or if it is full, place your team on the waiting list. We will add divisions if there is enough interest, and sometimes teams drop out and make room for other teams.

Tournament Hotels

There are area hotels in League City and Webster and the La Marque and Texas City areas that offer discounts to BABA teams. Please see the Tournament Hotels page.
