New automated schedule system launches

Jan 04, 2024 ·   Website

Florida Half Century has invested in the development of a custom schedule system that we built from the ground up.  This new tool will allow schedules to be more quickly available, and also allows us to regenerate the schedule very quickly when teams drop out.  We built in some systems logic that will try to keep teams from being stuck with all early games, and will create a more balanced schedule of early and late games throughout the season. Please bear with us as we implement this new system.  This weekend, with a record ...

Current 60+ Brackets & Schedule may change if we are able to secure another complex

Dec 30, 2023 ·   Tournament News

60+ Managers, I am quite sure you have figured out something is going on, and you are right.  Next weekend, we have a regularly scheduled average January 60+ Tournament.  Right?   Absolutely not!!!!!   We have broken a FHC Softball record.  We have 100 Teams coming into Polk County for one tournament.  The previous record was 93 Teams for one tournament, but this one simply blows that record out of the water.  When I scheduled this tournament some 12 months ago, we had no idea that so many teams would ...

New Age Division Letters

Dec 29, 2023 ·   Tournament News

As you will see in the January tournaments, we have changed the ranking prefixes so that all 60's teams will start with the letter A.  65's teams will now start with the letter B, and 70's teams will start with the letter C.  This allows 60's teams playing in 50's tournaments to not show as an "unranked" team.  For example, if the 15th ranked 60's team is playing the 30th ranked 50's team, it will look like this on the schedule: 30 - A15

Chairman's Notes - December 2023

Dec 17, 2023 ·   Chairman's Notes

Managers, we are disappointed that we had to cancel the 50's State Tournament, to say the least.  However, after being in the rain all day today, and knowing more is coming, we did make the proper and safe decision.  We will not make up the State Tournament because of the lack of fields in January, and not wanting to bring a hardship on your 2024 roster in February.  The Teams of the Year in the 50's Divisions will be awarded some nice gifts instead.  Teams of the Year are determined by the number of points won in a giv ...
