Crime Stoppers to play underhanded
|
Posted on Nov 04 2004
Usually it is the community that offers tips to Crime Stoppers, but this time around the boys in blue have some information to share with all the softball players in the CNMI.
The 3rd Annual NMI Crime Stoppers Slow Pitch Softball Tournament is returning to the Oleai Sports Complex, complete with all of the activities of the past.
The underhanded extravaganza that is the tournament will run through January 7, 8,and 9, and teams wishing to take part in the festivities need to sign up soon.
In the 2005 edition of the tournament, only 12 teams will be permitted to compete for the trophy and $250 prize for first place. The first 12 teams to sign up and pay in full will take part in all of the fun in the sun.
Besides the first place prizes, there will be a trophy and $150 awarded to the first runner up, a trophy and $100 for the second runner up, and trophies for the third and fourth runner ups.
All of the fun of tournaments past will be returning, as there will be two homerun derbies—one for the players, on Saturday, Jan. 8, and one for celebrities, on Sunday, Jan. 9. Though no list of the high-profile guests has been released, chances are good that many of the stars from last year’s show will be returning to vie for the $50 prize.
To enter the event, simply stop down to Car Quest in Chalan Kanoa and fill out the entry and waiver forms, and pay the entry fee. The cost to enter a team in the annual tournament is $200 if paid in full before Tuesday, Nov. 30. Those who enter on Wednesday, Dec. 1, or thereafter will pay $250. To enter the homerun derby, the cost is $20 per individual. All checks should be made out to NMI Crime Stoppers.
