The Ruston Sports Complex is owned and operated by The City of Ruston. The facility is available for year-round use by residents and tournament participants. Local sports organizations and school teams will utilize the facility heavily all year throughout the week. Tournaments can be held on-site for soccer, baseball, tennis, cross country, softball, football, and bowling at The Alley of Ruston, our on-site bowling partner.

The Ruston Sports Complex promotes sports team participation as an outlet for healthy exercise for our youth and adults. We partner with our leagues and clubs to collectively provide these opportunities to the public.

Your sponsorships may also include a prize, in addition to the cost of the hole sponsorship, if the hole being sponsored features any of the contests mentioned here (e.g. Hole-In-One, Closest to the Pin, etc.) or for a charity auction! The OneCause Fundraising Platform is an essential tool for managing auction items and bidding while your golfers are on the course.

Offer a special prize for golfers who can sink a hole-in-one on your course. You can incorporate this golf fundraising idea into your tournament to give your golfers a break from the game, or you could set it up as its own contest to save time.

Start by embedding a matching gift database like Double the Donation in your website and giving pages. Then follow up with donors afterwards to ensure that you make the most of these corporate philanthropy opportunities!

For Beat the Pro, each golfer will place a bet with the pro that they can hit the ball closer to the pin. If the golfer wins, they are paid double! If the pro wins, the money is donated to your organization.

Your donors will love the chance to engage in a little friendly competition. Just be sure to station a volunteer or staff member with a mobile check-in station to collect the pledge of whoever wins! Save this contest for a par 5 or par 6 to give your golfers plenty of room to show their stuff.

Similar to the Longest Drive competition, one of the 18 holes is designated as the Marshmallow Hole. Station a volunteer at the Marshmallow Hole to provide each golfer a marshmallow. The prize winner is the team member that hits the marshmallow the farthest!

An alternative to the Longest Drive, the Straightest Drive contest awards a prize to the charity golf tournament player whose first shot from the tee box lands closest to a straight line marked clearly in the fairway. This contest takes some serious skill to win!

Your golfers will want to share their success with their followers. Encourage them to spread the word about your charity golf fundraiser on their own social media pages by integrating social media into your event microsite, hosted by OneCause.

A second alternative to the Longest Drive, this golf fundraiser idea contest is less about skill. Instead of drawing a straight line in the fairway, draw a curved or zig zag line. The ball to land closest to the curve wins!

Used on a par 3 hole, this contest is one of skill. The golfer to get closest to the pin after the first swing wins. Alternatively, for a particularly challenging par 3, the winner can be decided by the closest to the pin after 3 swings each.

As there are only 18 holes played in a round of golf, the elusive 19th hole represents the Course Clubhouse. The first 5 or 10 golfers to return their completed scorecards to the 19th hole are entered into an exclusive opportunity drawing for a great prize! Sell the 19th Hole drawing before the event event and during registration.

With a solid planning process and the right revenue generators, you can execute a golf event that exceeds goals. Tee up for fundraising success at your next golf outing with these additional resources:

Be sure you are aware of all rules and rule changes. Perfect Game reserves the right to amend these rules at any time for specific tournament play. National High School Federation Baseball Rules will be enforced with the following exceptions.

Penalties for illegal bats will be assessed as per the NFHS rule book. 1st violation - Batter is pronounced out (if discovered before a pitch to next batter) & head coach is restricted to the dugout for the remainder of the game. 2nd violation (Same Game) - Batter is pronounced out (if discovered before a pitch to next batter) and head coach is ejected. Subsequent violations: batter is pronounced out (if discovered before a pitch to next batter) and head coach is ejected. When a batter is pronounced out for violation of bat rules, the defense may take the penalty or result of the play. The head coach penalties apply in either case.

Red flag events will follow the following rules however event directors reserve the right to modify rules as needed in the best interest of the event. Directors will always rule in the fairest possible way. For White or Blue flag events please check the bat restrictions tab per event.

Safety and integrity of the game are two major factors at Perfect Game events, and with the implementation of the following changes, we are taking the next steps in providing an updated and premier experience on the baseball field. While these bats are currently still certified by their manufacturers, performance of these bats over the extended life span continues to become increasingly unsafe for our participants.

At any point, a Perfect Game Director or UIC may request to inspect a bat that is at a Perfect Game sanctioned event. If the owner/user refuses to allow the requesting body to inspect the bat the owner/user accepts an automatic three-year suspension from Perfect Game sanctioned events. Alternatively, the owner/user can allow the bat to be inspected so a conclusion can be formed as to whether the bat was altered.

No substance shall be added to the bat barrel. The barrel of the bat and all identifying marks or graphics shall be free of any foreign obstruction. If a foreign substance is discovered as being used or identifying marks on the bat are not visible the bat shall be removed from play.

Balk Rule

The MLB balk rule will be enforced. When a balk is called it is NOT a dead ball. A called balk will remain a LIVE ball. The balk is not considered an automatic dead ball.

Once a player has been removed from pitching they may not return to the mound in the same game.

No pitcher shall appear in a game as a pitcher for three consecutive days, regardless of pitch counts.

No pitcher shall appear in three games in the same day, regardless of pitch counts.

The definition to be utilized for the purpose of the pitching restrictions for end of a day shall be any time of night or day that the facility is closed and teams have a break in playing prior to the next days games.

The members of the coaching staff (including the manager) can make one mound visit per pitcher per inning without needing to remove the pitcher from the game. If the same pitcher is visited twice in one inning, the pitcher must be removed from the mound.

If a game is stopped, the game must start within 1 hour of the stop in play. If games are not resumed, they will become suspended or called official. Games called by umpires that cannot be resumed within 1 hour will be considered an official game, if 4 innings have been completed, or 3 1/2 innings if the home team is ahead (13U-14U: after 5 innings or 4 1/2 if the home team is ahead). After 4 complete innings, a tie score will be recorded a tie in pool play. The tournament director can extend the 1 hour if there are extenuating circumstances, i.e. lightning detector, working on fields, etc. A suspended game will resume where the game was halted. In the event play is stopped for any reason before or during the Championship round, first place, second place, third place, etc. will be awarded based on PG Seeding and Tie Breaker Rules.

We recommend that all teams (home and visitor) keep a scorebook. The official scorebook and lineup card for the game will be kept by tournament staff, in case of emergency where staff cannot keep book the home team will be the official scorer. In a situation in which tournament staff and the home team are unable to score the visitor would become the official book. All subs should be reported to the umpires. To eliminate scoring disputes scorekeepers should check with the official scorer during and after the game.

In the interest of maintaining a quality event, the tournament committee reserves the right to eject any person from the site for unruly or unsportsmanlike behavior. Such behavior shall include but not limited to:

Courtesy runners can be used for the Pitcher and Catcher at any time but must be a VALID SUBSTITUTE. In addition, the same substitute CANNOT run for more than one position (Pitcher or Catcher) in the same game. Additionally, if a team is batting their entire lineup, the courtesy runner will be the last batted out. If the last batter not on base is unavailable (i.e., he is the catcher or pitcher), the designated runner will roll back until such time as a possible substitute can be found.

A runner leaving his feet to avoid a fielder that is either in possession of the ball or in the act of fielding is illegal. The ball is dead and the runner is called out. No runners may advance from the last base legally occupied at the time of the illegal act. The runner does not have to contact the fielder and the fielder does not have to control the ball for this to be considered an illegal act.
