This will be a round robin event on Friday and Saturday with a single elimination tournament on Sunday.  It will again be held at Circle Tap Bar and Grill, just outside of Denmark, WI (12 miles South of Green Bay), and also at Memorial Field in the town of Denmark(2 miles/minutes away). Excellent crowds of very knowledgeable fastpitch fans will be on hand as usual.  If you have never made the trip, please do.  I can help you out with directions and any other info you may need.  Looks like the field this year will be the strongest ever.

Thank You,

bulletIS Knights (4th seed)(2-1) vs The Bar on the Avenue(2-1)(5th seed)

Very strong crowds. 3 Green Bay TV stations on hand as well as 2
newspapers covering the action.

Side note: I've been told by several teams that this is one of the best
run, MOST FUN!! to play tournaments of the year. Nothing beats a bar with
a high quality field attached. Almost brought a tear to my eye hearing
that from high quality teams that didn't even make it to Sunday say that.

Hope to see you tomrrow

Denmark, WI
May 23, 2004

The schedule for the 2004 Boys of Summer Open tournament is now completed. The tournament will be held July 9-11, 2004.  We believe we have assembled an extremely competitive tournament this year.  This is the 4th Annual Boys of Summer Tournament and will again be run in conjunction with the Knights of Columbus Branch in Denmark, WI.  The KC's ran the tournament from 1970-1997, and Circle Tap Fastpitch Association started the tournament in 2001.   Last year we were blessed with excellent weather and very sizable crowds, in what I think is one of the best places to see quality fastpitch.  The Circle Tap Diamond is located behind Circle Tap Bar and Grill just two miles west of Denmark.  You can view the games outside on the bleachers or sit at one of the tables on the deck off the bar, or you can also watch the games from inside the bar through the huge windows.  So come on out and enjoy some great food off the menu or have a few of your favorite tasty beverages.  There will again be a beer garden outside.  Any questions, please feel free to contact me.
