Unlike our backwards neighbors in Georgia
, we have school softball in the spring. First practice 1 Feb, first scrimage allowed 8 Feb, official play starts 8 March.

Most of the fall ASA tournaments can't start on Friday night like they do in the summer. From players who are also cheerleaders, to the players who just have to be there, to the coaches who want to watch--and, yes, the officials who are busy-- Softball starts at 8:00 AM Saturday.
