Terms of use

Who we are

Baseball Time, at youthbaseballtime.com and youthbaseballtimeintx.com, and its softball edition Softball Time, at youthsoftballtime.com, are run by Saw Tech Solutions LLC, a Texas company (“we” and “us”). By using any of these sites, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use them.

Where the information comes from

• Tournament names, dates, places, fees and team counts are gathered from schedules that organizers publish on their own websites, and rechecked twice a day. Between checks, and whenever an organizer changes their site, what we show can lag behind or be wrong.
• The organizer’s own information always wins. Confirm dates, age groups, fees, divisions and openings with them before you commit.
• Distances are straight-line miles, not driving distance. Weather comes from a public forecast and is a guide only. “Turf” is taken from the event’s name, and its absence doesn’t mean grass.

Registering and paying

We don’t take registrations, entry fees or payments for tournaments. “Register” takes you to the organizer’s site, and anything you sign up for or pay there is between you and the organizer, under their terms. A “Buy me a coffee” tip is optional, goes through that service, and doesn’t buy anything extra on this site.

Accounts and team pages

• Accounts are optional and only for parents, guardians and coaches who are 18 or older. There are no child accounts, and children shouldn’t use the site to contact anyone.
• Team pages are built from the team lists tournament organizers publish. Only claim a team you actually coach or manage. We check claims by hand and can refuse or undo one.
• What you post on a team’s listing (tryouts, openings, contact details, links) must be accurate and yours to share, and only about the team: no player names, no photos of children, nothing misleading, hateful or unsafe. You keep ownership of it and let us show it on the site.
• Ask to take a team page down from that page. An unclaimed page comes down right away; a claimed one is reviewed. We can hide any page or close any account that breaks these terms or puts someone at risk.
• Player profiles are made by a parent or guardian, about their own player, with nothing that names or locates a child. Coaches may use what they find only to talk about teams, tryouts and pickup games.
• Messages are for teams, tryouts and pickup games. No spam, bulk recruiting, selling, or contacting a child directly. Don’t try to get around the message limits. Either side can block or report a conversation, and we review reports.
• We don’t vet coaches, teams or families. Check each other out (background checks, fees, eligibility, sanction rules) before committing. A player’s age group is worked out from birth month and year using common cutoffs and may not match every league’s rules.

Alerts and calendar feeds

Email alerts and calendar feeds are free. Only sign up an address that’s yours or that you’re allowed to use. Every alert email has a one-tap unsubscribe, and you can stop a calendar feed by removing it from your calendar. Our privacy policy explains what we keep.

Using it fairly

• Don’t overload the site or its data with automated requests, or try to get around its limits.
• Don’t try to break it, get into anything that isn’t public, or sign up other people’s email addresses.
• Don’t copy the site, or present it or its data as your own.

Organizers

Tournament and organization names belong to their owners. Listing a tournament doesn’t mean we’re connected to or endorsed by its organizer, or that we endorse it. If you run a tournament and something we show is wrong, or you’d like it removed, email info@youthbaseballtime.com with a link to the event and we’ll fix it.

What belongs to whom

The site’s design, words, logo and the name Baseball Time belong to us. The facts about each tournament belong to whoever published them.

Free, for now

Baseball Time is free. If we ever add anything paid, we’ll say so clearly, and nobody will be charged without agreeing to it first.

No promises

We work hard to keep the site accurate and running, but it’s offered “as is,” without any promise that it’s complete, current, or always available. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for any loss from using it or relying on it, including a missed registration, a full or canceled bracket, or a wasted trip. If we are liable, it’s limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months.

Changes and the law

If we change these terms, we’ll update this page and the date at the top first. Using the site after that means you accept the change. These terms follow the laws of the State of Texas. Questions go to info@youthbaseballtime.com.
