What if I have a voucher from last year?

Because last year's Lone Star Classic was rained out, the MSL gave out vouchers for this year's tournament. Teams with vouchers can register for half price ($175 during early registration and $200 for late registration). If you have a voucher and would like to register your team for the 2008 Lone Star Classic, you must first verify the voucher by sending your voucher information to David Metz at LSC@MontroseSoftballLeague.com. After your voucher is verified, David will send you a link so you can register online for half price.

Pay Online!

You can pay your team's registeration fee online. Earl registration is no longer available. Team registration is now $400.
