WHAT ARE THE AREA CODE GAMES?: The Area Code Games are an individualized, regional event where players are placed on designated teams representing their specific area code to compete in North Myrtle Beach. Players will be drafted to teams based on their area code in the first ever Perfect Game Softball Draft.

DO TEAMS PRACTICE?: Yes! Teams are permitted to practice leading up to the North Myrtle Beach Championships—provided the coaches and parents agree on a schedule. We completely understand that families have busy routines, so if a player is unable to attend practices due to scheduling conflicts, it will never negatively impact their standing or playing time on the team.

UNIFORMS: Every registered player receives a complete custom gear package, including a fitted hat, two jerseys, a hoodie, a custom bag tag, and an Area Code ring! All players are required to wear black pants, paired with a black belt and black socks to complement their uniform.

UNIFORM PICKUP: Once registration is complete, your order will be processed. Parents can pick up their player's gear at their assigned field location on Friday prior to their first game. Please plan to arrive at least two hours before your team's first scheduled game for pickup. For added convenience, gear pickup will also remain available at the fields throughout the weekend.

DIAMOND KAST: Perfect Game employees will manage DiamondKast. This is a critical factor for determining individual awards.

TOURNAMENT FORMAT: All teams will start with a practice game on Friday after check-in, followed by two pool games on Saturday leading into double-elimination brackets.

COACHES GEAR: Head coaches and assistant coaches will each receive a hat. Coaches may wear their travel team's t-shirt and shorts.

PANTS, SOCKS & BELTS: All players must wear white knickers or white pro-style pants with a belt and a pair of socks that match their area code uniform colors.

HOME & AWAY FROM BRACKET PLAY: Higher seeds will be the home team during bracket play. For pool play, home and away teams are predetermined by the schedule.

HOME & AWAY JERSEYS: Home and Away teams are predetermined by the schedule. Black jerseys are for the home team, and pink for away.
