The weekend begins with a pro-style workout that mirrors higher-level evaluation environments. Athletes will participate in laser-timed 60-yard dashes, infield velocity, outfield velocity, bullpen sessions, and exit velocity testing. These measurable metrics provide objective data and give players and families a clear understanding of performance standards.
Following workouts, coaches will conduct a live draft. Teams are built based on position-specific needs and workout results, with drafting structured and monitored by event staff to ensure fairness and balance. This format creates competitive parity and gives every athlete the opportunity to contribute in meaningful game situations.
The competitive portion of the event includes structured team practices, three pool play games, and bracket play. Each athlete is guaranteed four games. The format ensures both development and competition while maintaining the showcase feel of the event.
