Tulsa County: Connecting the Fields, Following the Money & Examining the Public Record
Hidden Valley — Integrity of the Game | Historical USSSA research, 2001–2026
1. Countywide historical results
The controlling file is AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026.csv, filtered where County = Tulsa. This yields 9,003 division rows. The event count is deduplicated by season and the base TournamentID after removal of its division suffix. These counts are historical dataset coverage, not a complete census of every Tulsa County youth sports event.
| Metric | Dataset result |
|---|---|
| Unique events (non-additive) | 2,223 |
| Division rows | 9,003 |
| Teams | 72,014 |
| Gross entry fees | $15,230,112 |
| Minimum games | 173,926 |
| Official assignment slots | 321,035 |
| Modeled umpire expense | $12,834,000 |
| Modeled gate gross | $27,659,990 |
| Modeled concession gross | $13,829,995 |
| Modeled sanction fees | $885,815 |
Modeled concession net under an illustrative 50% operating margin: $6,914,998. This is a sensitivity scenario, not a source-reported net concession value or an assertion about operator profits. The dataset's TotalEventNet is a separate modeled event measure and must not be conflated with net concessions.
1A. Countywide modeled economic impact — separate from tournament receipts
The September 20 Hidden Valley dataset includes DayTripRate, NightTripRate, DayStay, OverNightStay, DayImpact, OvernightImpact, and TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent. These are model-derived estimates, not measured Tulsa County visitor expenditures or a professionally validated net-new economic impact study. The source names the last field “PerEvent,” but it is stored on division-level rows; the sum below is the division-row model aggregate, not 2,223 independently estimated event-level impacts.
| Countywide modeled measure | 2001–2026 source-column sum | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Modeled day-trip spending | $7,239,780 | Sum of DayImpact |
| Modeled overnight spending | $33,166,507 | Sum of OvernightImpact |
| Modeled total economic impact | $40,406,287 | Day-trip plus overnight components; scenario estimate, not verified net-new impact |
| Separate dataset modeled event net | $43,000,282 | Source's TotalEventNet; not government revenue or net county economic impact |
| Source's combined economic + event-net field | $83,406,569 | Arithmetic combination only; not an additional impact measure and should not be used as a headline total |
Source assumptions and reproducible formulas
For each source division row, the model uses teams entered × day-trip spending rate × day-stay multiplier for DayImpact, and teams entered × overnight spending rate × overnight-stay multiplier for OvernightImpact. TotalEconomicImpactPerEvent = DayImpact + OvernightImpact. Countywide results are the sums of those source columns over the 9,003 Tulsa County division rows. The model's DayStay and OverNightStay are modeling multipliers, not observed visitor counts or verified hotel nights. The dataset includes a common $85 day-trip rate and $289 overnight rate with one-day and varying overnight multipliers, as well as some $25 day-trip / $0 overnight rows, often associated with different event configurations. These are dataset assumptions, not inflation-adjusted historical spending surveys. We preserve the row-specific values rather than imposing one rate on all 2001–2026 events.
Example: a division with 10 entered teams, a $85 day-trip rate, a 1-day multiplier, a $289 overnight rate and a 2-night multiplier yields 10 × $85 × 1 = $850 modeled day spending plus 10 × $289 × 2 = $5,780 modeled overnight spending, or $6,630 in the dataset's modeled impact field. This example does not establish that ten visiting teams stayed two nights or spent those amounts.
Key limits: the source does not establish the share of teams traveling from outside Tulsa County, how much spending remained in the county, actual visitor parties or lodging receipts, displaced spending, local substitution, or multiplier-based secondary effects. Accordingly, these totals are modeled gross spending scenarios, not independently validated incremental economic impact, tax receipts, operator revenue or public return on investment. Gate, concessions, entry fees, and the separate event-net measure should not be added to the modeled visitor-spending total without a documented overlap analysis.
Municipality-attributed economic impact (source locations)
As with tournament activity, a single displayed municipality is used for provisional geographic/ownership attribution where no contrary legal ownership is verified. This does not establish the municipality received or retained spending. Multiple-municipality source labels remain separate. The amounts below reconcile to the countywide model.
| Source municipality/location | Day-trip model | Overnight model | Total modeled impact |

Data version: AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026.csv. Dollar values are historical modeled nominal amounts aggregated across 2001–2026, not converted to constant-year dollars. Missing numeric cells are treated as zero only for aggregation; original source rows should be retained for review.
2. Where activity was listed: municipality and facility breakdown
Rows below use the source municipality as the assumed owner for analytical attribution when only one municipality is listed and no contrary verified ownership has been established. This assumption is not proof of legal title. Combined-location rows remain unallocated to any one owner; verified county, tribal, school or private ownership supersedes the assumption. Event counts can overlap between facility rows and therefore must not be added to derive unique county events; additive division metrics reconcile to the county totals.
| Municipality | Ownership attribution | Dataset facility | Events* | Teams | Entry fees | Min. games | Official slots | Umpire fees | Gate model | Concessions model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

* Unique events within each listed grouping; event counts are non-additive. Combined-location records: 524 division rows. Municipality-based ownership is an analytical assumption, subject to independent deed, park policy, or agreement verification, particularly where a facility or event crosses municipal boundaries.
Municipality-level attribution and reconciliation
This additional summary groups single-location source records under the displayed municipality as assumed municipal ownership, unless later verified evidence establishes another owner. Multi-site rows remain unallocated; no revenue recipient is inferred. This grouping uses the source municipality and does not reassign events based on city boundaries.
| Assumed owner / unallocated | Teams | Entry fees | Minimum games | Official slots | Modeled gate | Modeled concessions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tulsa | 19,328 | $4,666,769 | 52,057 | 99,606 | $6,920,500 | $3,460,250 |
| Bixby | 16,104 | $3,404,334 | 36,529 | 66,621 | $5,699,300 | $2,849,650 |
| Broken Arrow | 8,738 | $1,756,988 | 17,806 | 33,371 | $3,389,500 | $1,694,750 |
| Jenks | 9,350 | $1,522,344 | 22,064 | 37,129 | $3,441,200 | $1,720,600 |
| Multi-site / unallocated | 5,296 | $1,389,188 | 13,408 | 25,997 | $1,705,800 | $852,900 |
| Owasso | 5,859 | $1,288,778 | 14,810 | 27,499 | $2,646,690 | $1,323,345 |
| Sand Springs | 5,406 | $952,677 | 12,837 | 23,233 | $2,829,900 | $1,414,950 |
| Glenpool | 1,933 | $249,034 | 4,415 | 7,579 | $1,027,100 | $513,550 |
Additive values reconcile to the Tulsa County source-row totals; unique event counts are excluded from this municipality summary because a single event can span multiple sites. Gate and concession columns are modeled, not actual collections. This summary does not establish legal title.
3. How every number was computed
Scope: retain all 2001–2026 source rows with Tulsa as the recorded county. Unique events: distinct pairs of Seasonid and TournamentID with trailing division suffix removed. Teams: sum TeamsEntered. Entry fees: sum TotalTeamEntryFee; at the division level the basic calculation is participating teams × listed entry fee, subject to source-specific exceptions and $0 fees. Minimum games: sum TotalMinimumGamesPlayed, based on recorded guarantees and the dataset's calculation. Official slots: sum TotalEventUmpires, derived from game requirements and umpires per game, not unique individuals. Umpire expense: sum TotalEventUmpireFees, reflecting modeled assignments and pay rates. Gate: sum TotalEventGate, which models attendance and admissions over event days; it is not a ticket ledger. Gross concessions: sum TotalEventConcession, a modeled estimate, not concession sales records. Sanctions: sum TotalUSSSASanctionFees, modeled team and event components, not a verified payment record.
Illustrative concession net: gross modeled concessions × 50% assumed margin. The 50% margin is explicitly a scenario, not a verified historical margin. For context, a 30%–70% margin produces $4,148,998–$9,680,996; it should not be combined with other gross values as if all were retained by one entity. Exact attendance, admission prices, concession margins, officiating rates and sanction assumptions can vary by event and year; the source's row-level values take precedence over a single statewide rate.
Reconciliation: every division row is assigned once to either a single-location grouping or the combined-location bucket. Additive totals reconcile across these groups. The event count is independently deduplicated for the county. Null/non-numeric values are treated as zero for aggregation and must be examined in the source audit trail; this extract includes one blank team count and six blank minimum-game values.
4. Public facilities, assumed ownership and municipal collaboration
Dataset facilities include Savage Park, Tulsa Hilti Park, OBrien Park, Bentley Sports Complex, Indian Springs Sports Complex, Jenks Youth Baseball Complex, Sand Springs facilities, Glenpool Sports Complex and Owasso parks. The dataset establishes historical event listings, not the legal owner, management contract, fee recipient, or whether cities formally collaborated. Ownership and operating rights must be matched to leases, deeds, meeting minutes, reservation policies, and interlocal agreements.
Research questions: Did cities coordinate event calendars? Were public field rental and concession arrangements comparable? Which entities collected admission and concession proceeds? Were countywide access, affordability, and local recreational programs considered in decisions?
5. County jurisdiction and oversight
District attorney jurisdiction is relevant to qualifying legal matters but does not itself create universal oversight over municipal leases, expenditures or contracts. County-owned facilities and City of Tulsa facilities are separate government responsibilities. The research should identify appropriate municipal attorneys, county officials, the Oklahoma Attorney General, and auditors according to the issue and law.
6. Public finance and economic development
The modeled entry, gate and concession figures are different financial streams and do not establish who collected them. The separate Section 1A economic-impact scenario is not evidence of net-new visitor spending or local tax receipts. Municipal rental income, tourism taxes, grants, public capital spending, nonprofit receipts, and independently validated local economic impact require separate public financial evidence. Do not equate gross event activity with new spending retained within Tulsa County.
7. Records requests and evidence still needed
Continue the existing City of Tulsa public-record correspondence regarding sports facility management and agreements. Request or examine county-owned facility agreements separately. Priority documents include leases, user-group agreements, tournament reservation logs, revenue allocation terms, facility ownership records, concession contracts, audited municipal accounts, and any interlocal agreements. Update this section with dated request identifiers, city acknowledgments and actual productions rather than treating unanswered requests as findings.
8. Organizations and tournament operators
Cross-reference historical director and operator listings with the separate USSSA Tournament Directors — The Public Record series. Listing in the dataset documents historical activity only; it does not establish employment, financial benefit, ownership, or wrongdoing.
9. Legal proceedings and organizational accountability
The Tulsa County research archive identifies civil case CJ-2026-1049 for separate review involving LaFortune Park-related governance questions. The case docket, pleadings, procedural history and disposition must be reviewed before stating specific allegations or outcomes. A civil filing is not an adjudication of misconduct. No allegation of embezzlement or criminal conviction is inferred from the Hidden Valley dataset. Future updates should include case numbers, filing dates, official source links and verified dispositions where substantiated.
10. Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector: county and municipal audits
Audit research should review publicly available Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector reports and official municipal audits, identifying entity, fiscal period, opinion, exact finding, page, management response and corrective action. No specific youth-sports-related audit deficiency is asserted here without the underlying report. A general government accounting finding is not proof of misconduct in youth sports.
11. Research sources, corrections and right of response
Quantitative controlling source: AIUSSSA - HVIOG 9-20-2026.csv, 65-column division-level dataset, filtered to Tulsa County. Research context: Hidden Valley — Integrity of the Game; Oklahoma's Fields of Accountability; Tournament Directors archive. Relevant governments, operators and individuals are invited to supply dated corrections and primary records. Published findings should be updated when new evidence changes the record.
