The 30th installment examines the Oklahoma USSSA softball event listings associated with Jalyn Koch and Ackley Park West in Elk City. The September 20, 2026 Hidden Valley-derived statewide directory and the existing director research profile agree on 19 distinct events, 380 team-event-division entries, $82,603 in calculated advertised entry fees, 1,141 modeled minimum-game equivalents, and 2,260 estimated officiating assignments for the 2020–2024 USSSA seasons. These figures describe historical listed activity and dataset calculations—not actual receipts, a director’s personal income or operating profit.

Day 30 principal finding. The older detailed extract lists Ackley Park West at 501 N. Western Drive, while Elk City’s official parks page currently lists 501 N. Pioneer Road. The venue name, city and county agree, but the street identification does not. The public record must resolve the historical address and precise field footprint rather than treating one address as verified for every event. A second issue involves a division-count inconsistency on the previously published director profile: one location reports 82 divisions, while another reports 46. Neither discrepancy is evidence of wrongdoing.

Research snapshot

Counting rule. An “event” is a unique combination of USSSA season and the base TournamentID, rather than each age/division row. A “team entry” is one recorded team in an event division, not a unique organization or roster across seasons. There is no basis to add these entries to the separate city or other director totals without de-duplicating the underlying event records.

1 | Controlling source, comparison and audit limits

The quantitative controlling baseline is AIUSSSA – HVIOG 9-20-2026.csv, described by Baseball Heaven’s September 20, 2026 methodology reference as 20,305 division rows, 5,332 events, and 166,964 team entries statewide. The publicly accessible statewide director directory provides the September 20 Jalyn Koch metrics. The September 20 division-level CSV was not available in full to this preparation run; a separate older July 23, 2026 AIUSSSA – HVIOG CSV was available for detailed event and calculation checks. Therefore, this issue uses the newer September 20 totals as controlling and the older detailed rows only as corroborating support. It does not assume that every record or every field is unchanged across versions.

The older extract contains 46 Jalyn Koch rows grouped into 19 season/event identifiers. Its event count, teams, calculated entry fees, minimum-game equivalents and officiating assignments all agree exactly with the September 20 director-directory totals. All 46 legacy rows pass the internal fee calculation teams × displayed entry fee = calculated entry fees, the historical gate-model equation, the source income equation and the source modeled-net equation. These arithmetic checks validate consistency of the model, not payment receipts or independent event completeness.

The existing Jalyn Koch research profile displays “Divisions of Play 82” in one portion but “46 divisions” elsewhere. The July extract supports 46; the exact September 20 division-row count still requires verification from its raw file. The statewide directory lists 19 events and does not settle this row-count conflict. This article does not silently substitute the older count for the newer dataset.

2 | USSSA-season reconciliation

USSSA season labels do not always match calendar years. For example, October 2020 events in the detailed extract are assigned to USSSA season 2021, and September 2023 events to USSSA season 2024. The table below groups by the source season rather than simply the event date. Totals agree with the September 20 director-level figures; the division/season breakdown comes from the older available extract.

† Season division rows come from the older detailed extract; raw September 20 division completeness remains to be independently checked.

3 | Full 19-event historical register

The following is the 19-event ledger reconstructed from the available older detailed extract, with the team and fee totals checked against the September 20 director directory. Event names retain source spellings, including “Boarder Wars.” Links are historical event URLs printed in the archived CSV, not newly invented or asserted to resolve today. The currently inaccessible legacy event-home URLs are distinguished from the independently confirmed USSSA result pages below.

‡ Event links are preserved exactly from source rows. This review could not independently open those particular legacy event_home URLs; they are source-listed references, not individually re-verified live pages. Event completion, field-by-field location, admission-days charged and payments remain unverified without original schedules, box scores and financial records.

4 | Independently corroborated USSSA game results

USSSA’s separately indexed historical results offer examples of completed competition, beyond a spreadsheet entry. These pages carry the event name, date, team scores or standings and an attribution to Jalyn Koch:

• 2020: Big Elk Tournaments Border Wars — July 25 — original USSSA historical team-and-game results.
• 2021: The Big Elk Spring Border Wars — April 23 — original USSSA historical team-and-game results.
• 2022: Boarder Wars — April 22 — original USSSA historical team-and-game results.
• 2023: Big Elk Spring Showdown — March 25 — original USSSA historical team-and-game results.
• 2024 secondary corroboration: April 26 Big Elk Border Wars ’24 participating-team match history. The team page confirms participation and game scores, not the named director or all divisions for that event.

The USSSA public director-search interface is also available. Baseball Heaven’s director directory associates Jalyn Koch with director ID 7306897. A director-specific USSSA profile URL could not be independently retrieved and is not represented as verified here. The independently published Baseball Heaven director activity profile is a secondary analytical summary, not an official USSSA financial statement.

5 | Ackley Park West, public investment and the address difference

Source-listed historic venue: Ackley Park West; 501 N.Western Drive, Elk City, Oklahoma 73644; Elk City, Beckham County. That street string comes from the older event/division extract and should not be treated as verified municipal addressing.

Current verified municipal description: The City of Elk City Ackley Park West page identifies 501 N Pioneer Road, lists Boys & Girls 5-Plex Ball Fields, and describes other public amenities. Elk City’s tourism site refers to the Elk City 5 Plex at Ackley Park West as an all-turf complex currently described with 16 ballfields in total (five softball, five baseball and six T-ball fields). The current field count cannot automatically be applied backward to 2020.

These are materially different street names—Western Drive versus Pioneer Road—not a trivial abbreviation. The municipal parcel, entrance, field identity and facility boundaries for each historical event should be confirmed with city park maps, event permits and dated agreements. Do not conflate the nearby historic Ackley Baseball Stadium / Ackley Park with Ackley Park West merely because their names overlap.

In a February 7, 2020 local report, KECO described ongoing turf installation at Ackley Park baseball facilities and near-complete softball/baseball work at Ackley Park West, with an overall project price reported at just over $5.5 million. This is a contemporaneous media-reported multi-site project figure, not a verified single-park capital expenditure, audited city expenditure, or evidence of a director’s receipt of public funds. Capital budgets, project ledgers and construction contracts would be needed to establish actual public spending and allocation.

6 | What the $82,603 does—and does not—measure

For each division in the available detailed extract, the research calculation is team entries × advertised entry price. Adding all division rows yields $82,603 in calculated gross advertised entry fees over the 19 event listings. It is not a bank ledger or proof of collected revenue: free entries, discounts, cancellations, refunds, transfers, processing fees, complimentary teams and other adjustments are not independently resolved. It is also not personal income to Jalyn Koch, municipal receipts, an annual budget or profit.

The source’s minimum-game measure totals 1,141, and its modeled officiating demand totals 2,260 assignment-equivalents, not necessarily 2,260 unique umpires or 2,260 actual paid shifts. Using the model’s $40 per assignment produces $90,400 in hypothetical officiating charges; the archived source assigns another $7,250 in modeled USSSA sanction-related fees. Neither number verifies payroll or invoices.

7 | Gate admissions and net concessions: four alternatives, not four revenue streams

Shared scenario inputs: 380 team-event entries; a hypothetical $5 daily spectator admission; one admission “day” counted for each modeled team-entry-day; gross concession sales assumed to equal 50% of modeled gate, and concession direct costs assumed to equal 80% of gross sales. Therefore net concession proceeds = gate × 0.50 × (1 − 0.80) = gate × 0.10. No actual spectator counts, documented daily admissions, published concession margins or collection agreements were confirmed for these 19 historical events.

Calculation examples:

• Source-listed event durations (2–3 days): 919 team-entry-days × 20 assumed paid admissions × $5 = $91,900 modeled gate; × 50% = $45,950 gross concession sales; × 20% net margin = $9,190 modeled net concessions.
• Every event capped at 2 charged days: 760 team-entry-days × 20 assumed paid admissions × $5 = $76,000 modeled gate; × 50% = $38,000 gross concession sales; × 20% net margin = $7,600 modeled net concessions.
• One charged day per team entry: 380 team-entry-days × 20 assumed paid admissions × $5 = $38,000 modeled gate; × 50% = $19,000 gross concession sales; × 20% net margin = $3,800 modeled net concessions.
• 10 paying admissions/team/day (source durations): 919 team-entry-days × 10 assumed paid admissions × $5 = $45,950 modeled gate; × 50% = $22,975 gross concession sales; × 20% net margin = $4,595 modeled net concessions.

The source-calendar model uses 919 team-entry-days: 380 baseline entries × two days = 760, plus 159 additional assumed team-entry-days from source-listed three-day events. Those modeled calendar days do not establish that gates opened or that paying spectators attended on every date. The four alternatives are mutually exclusive sensitivity tests and must not be added; their concession components should not be added to a separate “event net” that already includes gross concessions.

8 | Reconstructing the source’s $122,803 “Event Net” label

The older extract’s financial-model components reconcile as follows:

Why “Event Net” is not profit: The source’s residual does not deduct the modeled concession operating costs in the 80%-expense sensitivity, and the available fields do not verify municipal rents, insurance, utilities, maintenance, staffing, security, processing fees, team refunds, equipment, taxes or other costs. If the illustrative $36,760 gross-concession cost (80% × $45,950) were additionally applied to that same full-calendar source model, the residual would fall from $122,803 to $86,043 before any other unknown expenses. This is only an illustrative adjustment to an existing source model, not a second income stream, verified cash balance, or tax calculation.

9 | Public-facility questions to resolve with documents

For a municipally identified venue, the appropriate inquiry is what operating and financial documentation existed and what records can now substantiate its use—not whether the absence of a currently published answer demonstrates improper conduct. Useful questions include:

1. Which city ownership, park boundary, address and field map applied to the 2020–2024 events, and when did the 501 N Pioneer Road designation take effect relative to the dataset’s Western Drive label?
2. Which events were officially permitted, scheduled, canceled, postponed, or relocated, and which fields and dates were actually used?
3. What written licenses, leases, use agreements, field-reservation policies or event approvals governed tournament access?
4. Did agreements identify a municipal rental charge, waiver, in-kind support, maintenance reimbursement or utilities allocation, and how were those terms applied?
5. Who was authorized under each agreement to set and collect entry fees, spectator admission, parking charges and concessions?
6. What spectator admissions were publicly posted for these events, and were children, players, coaches, volunteers, or other groups exempt?
7. Were gates charged for one, two or three days; what tickets or wristbands, attendance logs or reconciliations survive?
8. Who owned or operated concession facilities, and were gross sales, sales tax, inventory, expenses or proceeds reported under any contract?
9. Which event-specific financial reports, settlement statements, invoices, refunds or cash-handling procedures were required by the city or an operator?
10. Were independent officials assigned or paid by teams, the event operator, a league or another party, and what records document the actual amounts?
11. What insurance, background screening, safety, emergency-response and facility-condition requirements applied to tournament use?
12. What public procurement, contracts, change orders and final payments document the 2020 turf/construction projects; how were expenditures allocated among the named parks?
13. Were local recreational leagues given priority, discounts, scholarships or equitable field access when competitive events occupied the facility?
14. How did the municipality evaluate field utilization, tourism impact and direct public costs without confusing modeled economic impact with tax revenue or profit?

10 | Unverified fields / corrections and verification pathway

Not independently verified: September 20 director-specific division counts and every row-level correction; historical venue street address and field assignments; actual event days played; actual number of paying spectators; documented admission schedules; concession operators, unit economics and net margins; deposits, refunds, collection and disbursement of entry fees; exact officiating payroll; sanction remittances; municipal licenses, rental terms, public subsidy or event-specific financial reporting; actual financial benefit to any named individual or organization; an independently retrievable USSSA individual director profile.

Correction invitation: Baseball Heaven welcomes dated USSSA event records, original schedules, park maps, municipal agreements, verified financial statements, published ticket policies and documented corrections. Submissions should identify the event/date, specific assertion, primary-source link or supporting document, and requested correction. Where verified evidence changes a figure or attribution, the public article and audit register should be updated while preserving the original source and date of correction.
