Wifflers,

Amazingly, we’re now just over a month away from the 46th World Wiffle® Ball Championship, the world’s longest-running wiffle bash.

One week left to get the official WWBC shirt with your entry fee! We will have shirts available for purchase at the tournament and to be shipped, but if you want free shirts for your team, you’ll need to register by Sunday, July 20.

As a reminder, the World Wiffle® Ball Championship is an Open championship, with players of all ages welcome. We live the motto ‘Where the kids play with the kids-at-heart’ as a tribute to the greatest backyard game there is.

WWBC Details

When: Saturday, August 16 (Pool Play) and Sunday, August 17 (Single-Elim Tournament).

All teams of 4-5 players, will play four pool play games on Saturday, August 16, with all teams 2-2 or better advancing to Sunday’s single-elimination tournament to crown the 46th World Wiffle Ball Champion.

After the completion of pool play on Saturday, all 1-3 teams will compete in an rapid fire, extra-inning tournament to determine the final qualifier for Sunday, one of the great spectacles in wiffle.

Where: Crown Point Sportsplex – Crown Point, Indiana

The Sportsplex is located just minutes from downtown Crown Point and Interstate 65. The state-of-the-art facility, which will be divided into 20 miniature wiffle fields in mid-August, drew rave reviews in 2024.

Entry Fee: $150 – Register by this Sunday to get WWBC shirts for all team members

All proceeds after tournament costs go directly to the South Suburban Humane Society, as wifflers have raised over $16,000 since our partnership began in 2018.

Home Run Derby: Saturday

Throughout the morning and early afternoon of Saturday pool play, players (and fans) will have the opportunity to attempt to qualify for the four-person Home Run Derby finals on Saturday afternoon.

The two-time defending Plastic King of Swing is Ethan Bumgardner of the Maple City Magic.

Crown Point National Night Out – August 5

We are thrilled to be sponsoring National Night Out in Crown Point for a second consecutive year. Join us on August 5 at the Crown Point Sportsplex from 6-9 p.m.

While the main event will be the softball battle between the CPPD and CPFD, we’ll have a Home Run Derby set up for the kids to knock some plastic around during the event and have a chance to win a WWBC shirt.
