Activities Director Bruce Thome says the round-robin style of tournament begins with three games today, with the first one at 2:30pm and the final game taking place around 7pm. Tomorrow is five games, with first pitch slated for 9:30am and the last game around 8pm and Sunday will have two games. The team with the most wins will be crowned the champion.
