The following locations are where we anticipate the specific age groups will be playing the majority of their
games during the 2007 NSA “B” World Series in Indiana. 
Check Map for Areas & Suggested Hotels......

While there is no scientific method of deciding which age group plays in specific locations at this time, we
have used NSA’s history of the number of teams attending to provide this guide for you to make hotel arrangements.  
This is our best assessment of the situation at this time and hope it will assist you with hotel selections.

In the end, the FINAL decision is based the number of total teams in the event, and how many teams are in
each specific age group.  These final numbers or counts of teams entered are not available until very close to the tournament.
 

Please keep in mind the furthest parks are approximately 40 minutes apart.  Thank you.
