2014 ASA ‘A’ National tournament preview!

ASA Championship Series

Men's A National Championship

Sept 27 – Sept 28, 2014

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

ASA Hall of Fame Complex

The ASA 'A' National returns to the ASA Hall of Fame Complex in Oklahoma City this year.  12 teams which were allowed 3 RPL (restricted player list) players per team are going to battle it out starting Saturday morning. The fields are all around 300 feet and 10 of the 12 teams are loaded up pretty good with A to Major level talent.  This could make for an interesting tournament.  The favorites are probably Baugh Ford and Compound Athletics but any of about 8 teams could pull off the win this weekend.

As of the time of this article I don't believe there is any livestreaming for this event although I will bring my camera.  All times on the bracket are CENTRAL time.

Link to ASA Championship information, rosters, brackets, and live stats.

SoftballCenter.com will have our chat room open to discuss the tournament Saturday and Sunday.

The ASA Hall of Fame Stadium and complex features 4 – approximately 300 foot fenced softball fields and will host a number of Championship Tournaments this coming weekend.
