Members of the USA Baseball staff held a conference call on Friday to discuss the status of our upcoming events and the continued effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. Stemming from this conversation, we would like to share with you an update regarding the Futures Invitational.
Due to this unprecedented situation and its ever-evolving effect on regulations set forth by federal, state and local governments, USA Baseball will continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 daily and provide a definitive update relating to our Summer 2020 schedule on-or-around Monday, May 18.
We apologize for any inconvenience this additional delay may cause; however, we felt it prudent to follow this course of action in an effort to maintain the planned on-field programming offered by USA Baseball this summer.
With this change to our initial timeline, an updated timeline is as follows:

• A final decision on the Futures Invitational will be announced on-or-around Monday, May 18.
• If the Futures Invitational does occur on schedule, final payments will be due on Monday, June 8.
• If teams drop from the tournament before May 25, they will receive a full refund of deposits and registration fees that have been made up to that date.
• If the Futures Invitational does not occur, all teams will receive a full refund of deposits and registration fees for the event.
• If necessary, USA Baseball will begin to process and send all refund checks the week of June 8.

Additionally, please note that the USA Baseball Travel Services department has extended the hotel reservation deadline to Monday, June 8. Please email travel@usabaseball.com if you need further assistance.
We appreciate your continued support of USA Baseball and we will continue to champion the best possible course of action moving forward with consideration to the best interest of all parties involved.
Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe!
