I am the president of the McHenry County Youth Sports Association (MCYSA)located in Crystal Lake, Illinois. We currently run the MCYSA/USSSA International Championships for 15U and prior to that we hosted the caba 15U world series for 15 years. This is our 18th Annual International Championship. Our website is

There is a list of "Look Who is Coming" for 2010. International include: Japan (16th year), Brazil, Puerto Rico, the Dominican, Venezuela, Panama, Russia, New Zealand and others. We are constantly recruiting international organizations for the event.
It is a 7 game guarantee (5 in pool play and seperate double-elim tournaments for Gold and Silver brackets). All games are played to completion (no time limits). We pride ourselves on running a first-class event. The cost in 2010 is $795.00 and there are no other mandatory charges (ie. gate charges per player or team). We have pre-tournament skills competitions, team banquet, opening ceremonies, off-day major league trip, etc.
In 2010 we have expanded to 15U event from 48 to 54 teams. We are currently filled. You can contact either Ted Groat or me fro m our website.
