The Triple Crown Required Lodging Policy is in effect for this event. To book your hotels teams must be paid in full for the event. You are able to book hotels by clicking on the `Team lodging/hotel` link on the right hand side. This icon may not be up until late spring in 2009.`
Event Format: GAMES: Each team will participate in five (5) games / evaluations. 16U & 18U divisions may be mixed to allow all team to receive equal opportunity to be scouted at by college coaches.
Pitching distance will be at 43 feet. The intent of the games are to showcase player’s skills for the college coaches, not to advance to an event Championship. College Coaches will be on the field acting as an umpire, calling balls and strikes, safe and out from behind the pitcher. Again this puts college coaches on the field with your team seeing what they want to see.
Team coaches must create a "College Placement Roster" and submit it to Event ID 3870. The roster goes into a handbook, which is given to the college coaches in attendance.
Not only will College Coaches be on the field but there will be college coaches at the backstops. We will have a rotation worked out for College Coaches in 2 seperate shifts. A great way to attract coaches to your games that may not be during their "shift" is to contact coaches prior to event with emails and letters informing them on team name and game times. In addition players who participate in the individual session (mornings) can attract coaches as well.
RECRUITING SEMINAR: Triple Crown will present a short seminar on the recruiting process (45 minutes) on Firday afternoon. We will cover the following subjects:
1. College types (DI, DII, DIII, JC, NAIA)
2. How to find a college that fits a players needs
After the seminar, NAIA and JUCO college coaches will be available for questions.
Sunday - (mid-day) at fields will be an open house talk. This is an opportunity for players to talk with all college coaches in attendance. This is a great time to start a face to face relationship.

History
The Showcase in the City of Lights is a unique opportunity for College bound student athletes to showcase their skills and interact with College College Coaches from around the country. A rare platform intended to promote relationship building between College Coaches and student athletes.
2010 is the fourth year for the team showcase. The team number is expected to grow based on the popularity and unique quality of this event, however, we only have space for 50 teams.
2009 was a year of growth for the Showcase in the City of Lights as 48 teams participated A majority of the players from the team portion got twice the exposure by playing in the Individual Showcase Camp.
2007, Triple Crown Sports added the team showcase to the individual showcase to create a well rounded event. The success of the event enables us to keep the team portion part of The Showcase in the City of Lights.
