Visit Tuscaloosa Hosting Inaugural Crimson White Tournament

Visit Tuscaloosa and DC Elite Productions have announced the inaugural Crimson White Tournament, scheduled for October 19–20 at Bowers Park as part of DC Elite’s Collegiate Star Tournament Experience series.

The University of Alabama and University of West Alabama will start the event as part of a special kickoff party at John and Ann Rhoads Softball Stadium. The event will feature a guaranteed four games per team during a two-day format with three pool games leading into a single-elimination tournament. The event is limited to 48 teams across the 10U, 12U, and 14U age groups.

“We are thrilled to be working with DC Elite on their Crimson White Tournament,” said Robins Bonner, senior sport sales and event development manager at Visit Tuscaloosa. “We are very grateful for the partnership with DC Elite and the support shown from our local partners, PARA and the University of Alabama softball team.”

The party includes goody bags for the players and coaches, music from DJ Rachel, games and more. Additionally, each rostered player and two coaches will receive a ticket to the Alabama vs. West Alabama game.

Coaches will also have the opportunity to tour the VIP Clubhouse and participate in a Coaches Chalk Talk with members of the Crimson Tide coaching staff. This tournament is expected to attract 750 participants and generate more than $600,000 in estimated economic impact.
