Sioux Falls prepares to host Ringneck Tourney

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — The 47th annual Ringneck Invitational International tournament is back in Sioux Falls this weekend featuring three days of high quality, entertaining softball says tournament director Rick Graff.

134 teams from eight states and Canada will play in Sioux Falls in the Ringneck Tourney. An influx of people will be in town, from refs to players and their families. Graff and the rest of the board members had an rough estimate as to how many teams would be in attendance with registration opening up last October.

“Right away in October, there’s a big bunch that register. And then November, December, January it slowed down a little bit. Then it starts to pick up again. But I would say I think by January 1st, we had 100 teams that had already,” VP & tournament director Rick Graff said.

The tournament begins Friday afternoon.
