The schedule for 2024 is now up, just in case you need to refer to it on Saturday.

August 11, 2024

Hey everyone, the live group draw is coming up at 12:30 this afternoon.

We sort out the 36 teams in 4 divisions in to the play groups. We'll let you know what to expect for the tournament Saturday.

See you at 12:30 on our Facebook page.

Just a couple of notes as we approach August. We still have spots available if you want to play. If you register and pay before the end of the day Wednesday, Adult teams are $100 and Youth teams are $50 each.

You can register a team until Saturday August 10. You can pay up until the day of the tournament, August 17, and registration fees in August increase to $120 and $60.

I am still getting raffle prizes in and holding out hope for a couple of others. I am going to send in the t-shirt order soon, and get these final details in place, so if you have a business that wants to be part of sponsoring the tournament let me know.

Even if you can't make it swing by Union Street complex for lunch, to buy a raffle ticket, to get a t-shirt, to watch some games, to hit in the home run derby.

Venmo is #WWFAW the final 4 numbers if you need is 9156.

Not much longer now team!

In FOUR weeks (8/17/24) we are playing wiffle, in THREE weeks (8/10/24) the registration closes for the event. Here is a little tournament registration update for you, if you see your team on this list, I have your entry logged. If your name is not on here, then you haven't registered yet, or I might have missed it (I was on vacation all week and wandering through the mountains and exhausted most of the time so forgive me).

We have 28 teams in the field as of now. If you want to play we still have openings in all divisions. Just contact me to let me know. We are missing some teams from last year, so get signed up.

Remember if the entry fee is paid by the end of July (Venmo is WWFAW) it is $100 for adults and $50 for youth teams. If you pay in August, up to and including the day of our event those increase to $120/$60. I know teams are showing up if they've paid me ahead of time and I don't worry about no shows.

Also here is a brief list of our raffle prizes, with hopefully more to come:

July 16, 2024

We play one month from tomorrow - Saturday August 17 - and I only have 13 teams officially registered.

Here is what I have so far -
Youth (11-15) - Renewal By Andersen
Executive - Alcoballics, Coca Cola Bangor, Renewal By Andersen (3 teams)
Classic - No Entries so far (but I can move a couple if needed)
Open - Cruisers, Fab 4, High Heat, Kilianaires, Master Batters, Underdogs, and an as of yet Garth McNally unnamed team.

13 is the least amount of teams we've ever had, including year 1 in a tropical storm. I know registration is open until Saturday August 10, but as you have learned I like to get things lined up ahead so we can have the best possible event. I also know a lot of regulars will be back but I just haven't heard from you yet. Send me a message if you are interested in playing in our 16th year and we will get you on the list.

June 1, 2015 we became an official 501 ( c ) 3 public non profit charity.

Today is June 2, 2024 and we are 76 days away from the 2024 Wayne's Wiffle For A Wish tournament and fundraiser for Make A Wish Maine.

Here is the bad news: With the recent increase in costs for everything from gum to a house it only makes sense the average cost for a Make A Wish has gone up to $8,500. Everything is more expensive and our support is needed for the kids and families from our state who really need a smile.

Here is the good news: We aren't changing the amount of money it costs to play in our tournament. We want to have as many teams as possible taking part in our event. If you send in your registration fee between now and the end of July Youth Teams are $50 per team to enter and Adult Teams are $100 per team to enter. If you wait and send in your registration August 1 to August 10 it will be $60 for Youth Teams and $120 for Adult teams. You can pay the day of the event if you wish. But I need team registrations done by Saturday August 10th, so I can get the groups drawn out Sunday the 11th, and then a schedule created.

Here is what you need to know in bullet points.

The greatest day of the summer is rapidly approaching, get your team in the field today!
