The 56-team field is set for the ASHAA softball state championship tournament next week at Oxford’s Choccolocco Park.

Tournament play begins on Tuesday and concludes on Saturday with seven class champions crowned during the week.

A double-elimination bracket for each class will be played over a two-day period with championships at Signature Stadium on the second day of each class.

All teams — lose twice and go home — in both the winners bracket and elimination bracket play three games during first-day competition for each class. That puts the winners bracket undefeated team into the championship game, awaiting an opponent coming back through the elimination bracket on the second day.

Teams advanced to this year’s championship tournament by qualifying from four regional tournaments.

Play for all classes in the state championship tournament is the same. East No. 1 qualifier plays South No. 2 qualifier, Central No. 1 plays North No. 2, North No. 1 plays Central No. 2 and South No. 1 plays East No. 2.
