The Tunnel to Towers Tournament is run slightly different than other charity tournaments.
Players on the roster of each NYSSA team may enter the Tournament representing their team.
Tournament managers may not recruit players from other NYSSA teams.
If there are not enough Tournament players on any NYSSA team, then Steve Diamond and Alan Finchley will seed each team with players to enhance parity in the Tournament.
As the tournament moves along from game to game, managers may not recruit players from teams who have been eliminated or new players who want to join after the Tournament has started.
Managers may request a replacement player from Steve Diamond or Alan Finchley only if a player on their original roster  is unable to play.
Each team is guaranteed to play at least 3 games in the Tournament.

​​​​​​​In 2024 over $5,000 was raised and in total over $12,000 has been raised since the Tournament started in 2023.

Our gratitude and appreciation to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Nassau County Parks Commissioner Darcy Belyea for donating the use of Wantagh Park.
